Thorne Industrial was hemorrhaging cash on
inefficient equipment upgrades. Their capital
allocation resembled throwing darts
blindfolded. We spent three months analyzing
their historical spending patterns and
identified recurring inefficiencies.
The real breakthrough came when we mapped
their cash flow cycles against equipment
depreciation. They'd been replacing machinery
based on calendar years rather than actual
performance metrics. Sometimes the simplest
insights create the biggest impact.
Real Results from Real Businesses
Meet the Australian businesses that transformed their capital allocation strategies and achieved sustainable growth through proven methodologies
Melbourne Retail Chain Transformation
Month 1-2: Discovery
Coast Retail had 23 locations but
couldn't identify which stores actually
generated profit. Their accounting
system tracked revenue but missed
location-specific overhead allocation.
Month 3-5: Analysis
We implemented activity-based costing
across all locations. The results
shocked everyone - three stores were
subsidizing the other twenty. Two
locations were losing money purely due
to lease terms.
Month 6-8: Implementation
Rather than closing unprofitable stores
immediately, we renegotiated leases and
optimized inventory distribution. Four
locations became profitable within
eight weeks of changes.
Month 9-12: Optimization
The chain now uses predictive analytics
for inventory placement and lease
negotiations. They've opened three new
locations using our site selection
criteria, all profitable from month
one.
