Leading Supply Chain Strategy.
Powered by Data Analysis.
At Trym, our mission is to solve complex supply chain problems.
We combine the expertise and knowledge of supply chain consultants with the analytical and technical skills of data scientists to help your business make better-informed decisions.
We aren’t a massive consultancy, and we quite like it that way. Our personal approach means we can guide you through an entire project, leaving you with the knowledge and tools you need to keep taking action.
Working at the intersection of Sales, Finance, and Supply Chain, we use data to bridge the gap between commercial ambition and operational reality.
If you’re rapidly scaling, be it organically, through new product lines, or M&A, there are a host of potential complexities that can impact the performance of your supply chain.
On the flip side, fast growth and revenue scaling presents many new opportunities for better systems, stronger integrations, and a smarter, more ‘joined-up’ way of doing things.
By modelling your current supply chain capability, we help you identify which customers, SKUs, assets and channels are driving value, and which are tying-up too much capital.
Sitting at the heart of your daily operations, we use data to resolve the eternal conflict between maintaining high service levels and minimising working capital.
Whether you’re relying on disjointed spreadsheets, reactive firefighting, or sophisticated systems that your team doesn’t trust, you’re likely drifting between two extremes: holding too much of the wrong stock, or failing to fulfill critical orders when demand spikes.
Moving from ‘gut feel’ to statistical probability brings stability. It transforms planning from a source of daily stress into a proactive discipline that absorbs market volatility rather than amplifying it.
We ensure that you have the inventory required to keep your promises to customers, without the excess cost that weighs down your balance sheet.
In an era of hype around AI and robotics, it is easy to overlook the foundations. Disconnected systems, siloed data, and manual workarounds create a ‘visibility ceiling’ that no amount of new software, agents, or assets can fix on their own.
Whether it’s integrating legacy ERPs, auditing data health for AI readiness, or validating the ROI of warehouse automation, we push for pragmatic, quality focused data-led solutions.
We help you connect your silos, optimise your physical assets, and build the necessary fuel for a future-proof supply chain.

We’re Supporting Vital Strategic Decisions with Data Analysis
To assess the impacts of warehouse automation, we turn to Warehouse Capacity Modelling. A capacity model is a digital representation of your supply chain and is an inexpensive way of testing assumptions and the impact of different changes or configurations.
It typically consists of 3 streams of analysis:
- Mapping end-to-end supply chain processes and product flows.
- Comparing automation capacities with forecast demand.
- Identifying bottlenecks or ways to improve the flow of goods to maximise warehouse automation.
You may also want to use the capacity model to run “what-if” scenarios, for example: what products would be best held outside of my ASRS to generate more capacity at least cost?
Warehouse Capacity ModellingTo begin, calculating a cost-to-serve from supply data and activity rates helps align finance and supply chain functions and allows you to better prioritise improvement projects.
From here more in-depth, detailed modelling and analysis can unlock further cost savings from individual prioritised projects.
Cost-to-serveWarehouse capacity models can be used for testing different scenarios, it’s a digital representation of your supply chain which allows you to proactively plan and mitigate risks.
It’s a great way of stress-testing and running scenarios, for example, what would happen if the forecast growth of winter apparel is 10% higher than expected?
Acquisitions can be a great catalyst to streamline processes and reduce overall costs.
Fully understanding both supply chain processes and product flows will be critical, a process mapping exercise can bring this to life.
We can help you build a flexible data model inclusive of processing rates, costs, and throughput capacities against each activity to compare integration options. Through modelling different scenarios it’s possible to gain a much deeper understanding of how existing supply chain infrastructure can integrate and support each other.
Depending on your product offering you may find insightful patterns in sales data that can improve demand forecasting and be a very valuable source of information in calculating how much inventory to hold.
We also offer inventory simulation to determine inventory levels calculated against demand uncertainties, supply inaccuracies, and business targeted service levels.
