Backed by a team proficient in the workings of engineering industry, AGR can support manufacturing companies in making informed decision on entry or expansion strategy whether for a new market, product category or aftermarket.

In today’s globalized world, different components or subassemblies are manufactured in different locations. It is imperative to have a strong grip on pre and post-production supply chain to control input costs and improve margins. Therefore, it is very important to conduct periodic assessment of various supply elements. In this critical evaluation, AGR uses its domain knowledge derived from successful engagements. The results identify both strengths and weaknesses of the supply ecosystem and through specific interventions deliver considerable bottom line value.

Business environment is perennially evolving. Whether there is a change in regulation, or a technology shift, markets are ever dynamic. To retain or grow market share companies constantly strive to be ahead of the curve. In this cut-throat scenario, it is very important to track competition to avoid getting caught off guard. AGR supports clients through detailed analysis of competitor strategies for specific products or geographies. The intelligence gathered helps companies prepare for any onslaught or take preemptive measures to protect business.

Customer loyalty determines business success. In the B2B environment, this is even more apparent as there a fewer number of customers that any business can supply to or service. Therefore, periodic assessment of customer satisfaction levels can direct companies to improve on certain pain points helping retain valuable customers and protect turf by denying entry to competitors. To support clients in conducting this critical evaluation, Avalon uses its proprietary tool POSAT that has been successfully applied in several engagements across different products, markets and contexts.

For manufacturing companies, location of critical business centers be it production plants or HQs or Branch offices play a key role. It is imperative to have these centers located in right places to derive advantage in terms of Raw Materials, Skilled Manpower, Government Incentives etc. To support companies looking for green field or expansion projects in any geography, Avalon has developed robust tool Project Location Analysis Model (PLAM). The tool is based on dimensional analysis which combines tangible and intangible costs to arrive at an integrated location score. Over several successful engagements the tool has been fine tuned to suit different business and its requirements.

For companies either large scale or MSMEs geographic expansion remains a key thrust area. In markets both domestic and overseas where setting up operations is difficult, distributors become critical for gaining quick market access. AGR supports companies expand their operations by carefully identifying and shortlisting prospects and facilitating selection through in person due diligence and setting up meetings.
