Business Economics

Internet, telecoms and energy companies are highly dependent on the economic alignment of their supply chain. The economics of build and deployment process, wholesale and retail strategy, and analytics are sometimes difficult to manage and so it is not uncommon for the supply
chain to be under-optimised. The capital cost and tight timeframes
involved with building capacity means these organisations can be driven
largely by the supply side of management activity. In these situations,
the needs and decision processes of customers is easily overlooked.

Gravelroad consultants have worked in senior management positions in all parts of the value chain and have proven methodologies to reduce waste and improve efficiency created by the different components of the value chain. Common areas of specific requirements we provide includes:

  • Cost modelling
  • Pricing
  • Demand Analysis
  • Capital return optimisation
  • Capital prioritisation
  • Cost to serve Analysis
  • Network efficiency measurement


Gravelroad combines experience in economic analysis, segmentation, marketing, cost to serve modelling, supply risk measurement, distribution economics, and investment frameworks in utility environments, with our practical approach of senior managers who have actually done this stuff for a living.
