Investment support

Supply chains often hold untapped value that can materially impact the intrinsic worth of a business — but identifying and quantifying that value requires technical expertise and practical insight. Inventory inefficiencies, procurement gaps, and under-optimised operations can distort working capital needs, inflate costs, and limit scalability.

At Apollo Supply Chain Solutions, we partner with private equity investors across both the pre-acquisition and post-acquisition phases to unlock this value. Whether evaluating a new opportunity or executing a value creation plan, we bring the practical tools and execution support needed to turn supply chain potential into measurable results.

Pre Aquisition

Inventory diagnostic

We assess the structure, productivity, and risk profile of inventory holdings across the business. Using our proprietary methodology, we quantify excess stock, identify service-level vulnerabilities, and highlight opportunities to release working capital — providing a clear picture of how inventory impacts valuation and where improvement levers exist.

Supply Chain Assessment

We conduct a rapid but robust evaluation of the target’s supply chain performance, design, and maturity. This includes cost structures, lead times, sourcing resilience, and planning effectiveness. Our analysis identifies operational risks and value creation opportunities that may not be visible through financial metrics alone.

Synergies Assessment

We evaluate the potential for post-deal supply chain synergies — including shared sourcing, logistics consolidation, inventory pooling, and systems integration. Our work helps investors quantify the achievable benefits and assess the feasibility of integration strategies in platform or add-on acquisitions.

Cost-to-Serve Analysis

We analyse the cost-to-serve across customers, channels, and products to surface hidden profitability imbalances. This enables a deeper understanding of margin drivers, reveals opportunities to simplify or restructure operations, and informs strategic decisions post-acquisition.

Scenario Modelling & Value-at-Stake Sizing

We build financial models to size the impact of high-potential supply chain initiatives — such as re-sourcing, footprint changes, or inventory optimisation. These models help investors quantify the “size of the prize,” compare scenarios, and prioritise post-deal value creation efforts with confidence.

Post Aquistion

Value Creation & Synergy Implementation

We translate supply chain strategies and synergy plans into real, measurable outcomes. Whether it's delivering on value identified during due diligence or executing integration initiatives post-acquisition, we manage implementation end-to-end — aligning stakeholders, mitigating risks, and ensuring that value is captured, not just estimated.

Inventory Reduction Program

We execute structured, data-driven programs to sustainably reduce inventory across the supply chain. By optimising stock targets, improving demand planning, and adjusting replenishment logic, we help businesses unlock working capital without compromising service reliability.

Cost Reduction & Procurement support

We drive margin expansion through smarter sourcing and operational cost reduction. This includes supplier consolidation, renegotiation, and category-specific strategies that deliver sustainable savings — backed by robust tracking and governance to ensure results are realised.

Operating Model & Capability Uplift

We strengthen the supply chain organisation by redesigning its structure, clarifying roles, and building the capability required to support long-term performance. Our work ensures the right people, processes, and tools are in place to make improvements stick.

Network Design & Execution Support

We help businesses execute structural changes to their supply chain footprint — from sourcing shifts to warehouse consolidation and inventory repositioning. Our models and project support ensure that cost, service, and risk trade-offs are well understood and effectively managed.
