Business & Operations Consulting
Consulting that connects the boardroom with the factory floor. We help you align sales, operations and exports so that growth is not left to chance, but supported by clear processes, realistic plans and teams that know what to do.
Talk to us about a projectWhat this service does
Sales Tree works with owners, CEOs and management teams who want exports and day-to-day operations to move in the same direction. We step in when growth creates complexity: more markets, more SKUs, more partners and more pressure on production, purchasing and logistics.
Our role is to translate strategy into practical routines, responsibilities and reporting, so that people stop firefighting and start managing the business with discipline.
Who it’s for
Business owners & CEOs who:
- Need exports to grow without losing control of operations.
- Want clearer visibility on capacity, margins and commitments.
- Look for a partner who speaks the language of both sales and production.
Operations, sales & export leaders who:
- Are tired of last-minute changes and misalignment between teams.
- Need better S&OP routines, data and decision-making.
- Want structure, not more spreadsheets that nobody follows.
How we work
1. Rapid assessment
We review how sales, production, purchasing and logistics currently work together, using focused interviews and your existing reports – not endless workshops.
2. Alignment on priorities
Together we define what “good” looks like for your company: service levels, export focus, product mix, margins and operational constraints.
3. Design of processes & routines
We design practical processes, meetings and simple tools that link sales forecasts, production plans, stock policies and export commitments.
4. Implementation & follow-up
We support your team while the new way of working is tested, adjusted and embedded – so it survives after the slides are closed.
Core focus areas
- Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) tailored to your size.
- Linking export pipeline with production and inventory.
- SKU & portfolio complexity review for better focus.
- Basic cost-to-serve thinking to protect export margins.
- Operational KPIs that people actually use, not just report.
- Export readiness audits (processes, specs, documentation).
- Packaging & labelling guidance for foreign markets.
- Role clarity between sales, exports, production & logistics.
- Simple governance: who decides what, and based on which data.
- Playbooks and checklists for repeatable execution.
What you get in practice
For leadership
- A clearer picture of how sales plans impact capacity and cash.
- Fewer surprises from last-minute urgent orders or stock gaps.
- Structured meetings with the right people and the right numbers.
- Confidence that exports can grow without breaking operations.
For your teams
- Defined roles and responsibilities between departments.
- Simple tools that connect orders, forecasts and production plans.
- Less blame-shifting, more joint problem-solving.
- A shared language around priorities and constraints.
Why work with Sales Tree
- We live in both worlds. Our background is in exports and operations – so we understand the tension between “sell more” and “produce safely”.
- We are pragmatic. We prefer a few routines that everyone follows, instead of complex systems that nobody uses.
- We think in terms of risk & resilience. Especially for exports, we help you protect service levels and reputation, not only short-term volume.
- We leave you with tools, not dependence. Checklists, templates and simple dashboards that your team can own.
Need structure behind your export growth?
If you feel that sales, exports and operations are not fully in sync, we can help you design a practical way of working that fits your size and reality – without turning your company into a bureaucracy.
