1. Analysis of the actual state
How do we check what is really happening in your company?
At Vistula Strategy Group, we don't sit behind a desk in the center of Warsaw analyzing only Excel spreadsheets. We know that on paper everything can look good, and in reality, employees spend hours correcting mistakes or waiting for decisions. Our analysis of the actual state involves us actually coming to see you on Marszałkowska St. or anywhere in the country.
For the first few days, we just observe. We talk to people from production, from the sales department, and warehouse workers. They are the ones who know best what is ailing the company. Often we hear from bosses that sales are falling because the market is tough, and after two days of work on the floor, we see that goods simply don't leave on time because the packing process is poorly organized.
What exactly do we examine during the visit?
- Flow of documents between departments – where invoices and orders most often get lost.
- Time spent on tasks that can be automated or removed.
- Communication within the team – we check if people know what they are responsible for.
- Bottlenecks that block your profits every day.
We don't create multi-page reports that no one reads. Instead, we prepare a short list of specific problems along with an estimate of how much money you are losing because of them every month. It's brutal, but it gives a clear picture of the situation.
After completing the audit, we sit down over coffee and show you in black and white what needs to be improved first to regain liquidity. We don't play around with corporate jargon. We speak directly: here is a cash leak, here is a solution that costs this much and will pay off in three months.
At Vistula Strategy Group, we respect your time. We are not here to lecture you, but to help you straighten out matters that have stopped working. Call us at 22 620 00 01 if you want us to look into your business and tell you where your money is escaping.
