Members of the team at trace have become trusted business partners. We have previously worked with them on several major projects, including a full strategic review of our New Zealand supply chain. They quickly understood our business and the complexity of our supply chain - undertaking in depth analysis, and identified numerous areas where we were able to optimise our operations, improve service delivery, and save cost. They have a proven ability to provide smart, practical advice, they can communicate effectively across all levels, and they are fun to work with. We rate them highly.
The trace team are highly experienced in strategic sourcing for aged care agency workforce, planning and scheduling and also bring unique perspective, with learnings from across a variety of industries - beyond just aged care. They have strong analytical capabilities and able to work with senior level executives within organisations to ensure recommendations are practical for existing maturity levels within an organisation's people and process capability.
The trace team have proven experience in helping clients to improve workforce planning and scheduling processes. They are technology agnostic and have a range of best practice frameworks - focused on driving outcomes for providers, carers, and care clients. They work across both the operational and strategic level - helping to drive benefits in service, care standards, cost, and scalability. They are pragmatic in their approach and able to adapt solutions to varying levels of organisational maturity.
The best consultants tease out what we or our teams already know, then challenge our thinking and collaboratively produce roadmaps for execution. Critically they create a sense of urgency that wouldn't exist without them. But to do this effectively requires a blend of subject matter expertise, cultural sensitivity and a preparedness to listen. Based on my experiences with Shanaka Jayasinghe I would recommend trace as practitioners of this approach.
The trace. team are passionate about supply chains and helping clients drive tangible improvements in service, cost and working capital. They are unique as a consulting partner as they are truly focused on establishing a fact base, building capability, measuring results and embedding change.
