Operational Intelligence
Many retailers encounter common pain points when scaling with Seko. We diagnose the root cause and implement strategies for resilient operations.
Impact: Significant delivery delays, customer dissatisfaction, and potential fines for non-compliance.
Cogent Approach: We audit your product data and export documentation processes, establishing robust data governance to ensure all required information is accurately presented to customs agencies proactively.
Impact: Unforeseen cost overruns, eroded margins, and strained vendor relationships.
Cogent Approach: We conduct a detailed audit of your Seko contract and latest invoices, establishing a robust reconciliation process and identifying areas for renegotiation or process refinement to control costs.
Impact: High customer anxiety, increased WISMO queries, and reduced brand trust.
Cogent Approach: We analyse the end-to-end data flow for tracking events, recommending improvements in integration cadence and external visibility tools to provide customers with more accurate, near real-time status updates.
Impact: Inconsistent customer experience, operational inefficiencies, and difficulty scaling into new territories.
Cogent Approach: Our consultants work with your team to define consistent global operational requirements for Seko, then engage with their account management to align expectations and standardise processes across key regions.
