About Vectruva
Supply chain advisory, reimagined
Vectruva is an Australian-founded supply chain advisory firm that combines AI-augmented analysis with senior consulting expertise. We exist because growing businesses deserve access to the same calibre of supply chain insight that large enterprises get from the Big Four — without the six-figure price tag.
Our approach is hypothesis-driven, data-led, and outcome-obsessed. Every recommendation connects to a quantifiable business outcome. We don't produce documents for the sake of it — we deliver measurable value.
At roughly half the cost of traditional consulting firms, Vectruva makes expert supply chain advisory accessible through subscription pricing and an AI-first delivery model. Our proprietary AI technology — trained across 12 supply chain domains — accelerates analysis and diagnostics, while senior human consultants review every decision point.
The 5D Methodology
Every engagement follows our structured five-phase approach. Each phase builds on the previous, with defined quality gates and client checkpoints at every stage.
- Discovery Understand the context — stakeholder interviews, data collection, scope alignment. (1–2 weeks)
- Diagnosis Identify root causes and quantify the opportunity with hypothesis-driven analysis. (2–4 weeks)
- Design Develop solutions, build the business case, and create a prioritised transformation roadmap. (2–4 weeks)
- Delivery Execute the implementation plan with structured milestones and progress tracking.
- Embed Transfer ownership, build internal capability, and ensure changes are sustained. (2–4 weeks)

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about supply chain advisory
What is fractional supply chain advisory?
Fractional advisory gives you access to senior supply chain consulting expertise on a subscription basis, rather than hiring a full-time team or paying traditional project-based consulting fees. Vectruva combines AI-augmented analysis with experienced consultants to deliver insights at roughly half the cost of traditional firms.
What is cost-to-serve analysis?
Cost-to-serve analysis is an activity-based costing methodology that allocates supply chain costs to individual customers, products, or channels. It reveals hidden profitability drivers by tracing warehouse handling, transport, order processing, and returns costs to the entities that cause them — often uncovering that 20–30% of customers or SKUs are unprofitable.
How does Vectruva use AI in supply chain consulting?
Vectruva uses an proprietary AI technology trained on supply chain frameworks and domain expertise across 12 supply chain domains. This technology assists with data analysis, diagnostic assessments, document generation, and scenario modelling — all supervised by senior human consultants at every decision point.
What supply chain domains does Vectruva cover?
Vectruva covers 12 supply chain domains: Cost-to-Serve and Profitability, Inventory Optimisation, Warehouse Operations, Transport and Logistics, Network Design and Digital Twins, Procurement and Sourcing, Fulfilment and Order Management, Demand Planning and S&OP, Supply Chain Technology, Sustainability and ESG, Returns and Reverse Logistics, and Lean Six Sigma.
How much does supply chain consulting cost?
Vectruva offers three subscription tiers: Analyst at $2,500/month for focused diagnostics, Advisor at $5,500/month for multi-domain transformations, and Principal at $12,000/month for enterprise strategy. This is approximately 50% less than traditional consulting firms, with no hidden fees. Each tier includes a one-off scope fee based on engagement complexity.
What is a supply chain digital twin?
A supply chain digital twin is a virtual model of your physical supply chain network — including warehouses, transport lanes, inventory locations, and customer demand patterns. It allows you to simulate scenarios like adding or closing distribution centres, changing service levels, or responding to demand shifts, without real-world risk or cost.
What is the 5D consulting methodology?
The 5D methodology is Vectruva's engagement framework: Discovery (understand the context, 1–2 weeks), Diagnosis (identify root causes and quantify opportunity, 2–4 weeks), Design (develop solutions and build business case, 2–4 weeks), Delivery (execute the implementation plan), and Embed (transfer ownership and ensure sustainability, 2–4 weeks). Each phase has defined quality gates and client checkpoints.
How is Vectruva different from traditional consulting firms?
Three key differences: (1) AI-augmented delivery — our proprietary AI technology accelerates analysis, diagnostics, and documentation, so you get results faster. (2) Subscription pricing — predictable monthly costs at roughly half traditional consulting rates, with no surprise bills. (3) Fractional model — access senior expertise without committing to large project teams. We focus on measurable outcomes, not billable hours.
