Supply Chain
Business Model

At Leading Edge
we believe that an optimised supply chain is not one dimensional,
there are several building blocks to achieving a supply chain
competitive advantage. These include robust processes, appropriate
technology, controlled costs and good people. A company needs
strategic relationships with suppliers, customers and partners
and the supply chain goals and objectives need to be aligned
with the corporate strategy.
The supply chain should be lean, fast and offer true visibility
amongst partners. With these building blocks in place, an
organisation can offer excellent customer service and gain
a competitive advantage through supply chain optimisation.
Our products and services are based on our unique business
model, which was created by the Leading Edge Group in association
with its clients and strategic partners. Leading Edge has
built its products around this model to help our clients gain
a competitive advantage through their supply chain. These
