Protecting Margin at the source
An audit tells you what went wrong. It does not, by itself, stop it happening again. The services in this area work beyond the individual audit point: correcting the master data your logistics planning runs on, connecting separate audit streams into one view of the chain, extending the same standard to franchise and concession operators, and training your own teams to audit under our framework. Each one takes what the audit established and puts it to use.
Our Scope of services:
The spectrum ranges from correcting master data to connecting every audit stream, extending standards across trading networks, auditing in house under the RAS framework, investigating shrink downstream and building bespoke audits for issues that fall outside a standard scope. Each service takes what the audit establishes and turns it into something the business can act on.
Data-Driven Efficiency: Measure, Optimise, Save
Inaccurate product dimensions are a hidden cost that affects every part of your supply chain, from storage density to transport utilisation. Our CubiScan service verifies case dimensions using high-precision measuring equipment, so you can rely on your master data. We help you improve your loading, cut the volume of air you ship and reduce your carbon footprint, working from data you can trust.
We measure and we feed the results into your WMS. Once every case is correctly dimensioned, your systems can plan pallets more effectively, improve cartonisation and make better use of every cubic metre in your warehouse and on your vehicles.
This is foundational data. Without it, your WMS optimisation algorithms work from faulty input, which leads to inefficient use of space. RAS Supply Chain Integrity establishes whether your system data matches physical reality, so you can act on it with confidence.
The Complete Picture: Strategic Supply Chain Health
Stop managing symptoms and start addressing root causes. From supplier pick to store delivery, our End-to-End Intelligence brings together data from every audit point to give you a clear view of how your supply chain is performing. We connect the individual findings into a single account of where your stock is going wrong.
Most retailers work with fragmented visibility. Logistics teams see delivery performance, procurement sees supplier pricing and store teams see availability gaps, but no one sees the whole connected picture. RAS Supply Chain Integrity closes those gaps and provides the intelligence you need to see the leaky pipe for what it is.
By bringing our individual audit streams together, we create a layer of strategic oversight. We identify the systemic trends behind repeated failures: the supplier, the lane, the product category. That moves you from reactive firefighting to planned, system-wide improvement.
Extending Integrity to Extended Networks
Complex B2B relationships, such as franchises, concessions and wholesale arrangements, require the same rigour as large-scale retail. We extend our GFR, Pick Accuracy and operational support across your wider network, so integrity, trust and accuracy hold up wherever your brand appears. Your brand promise does not stop at your own doors, and neither should your standards for integrity.
When you work with franchisees or concession operators, accuracy problems damage your brand, your profitability and the relationship itself. We bring the RAS Supply Chain Integrity framework to these environments and provide independent verification that holds everyone involved to the same measurable standards of performance.
Our approach scales, which means we can deploy audit teams to partner sites and franchise hubs as quickly as we do within your own network. We give your B2B partners the information they need to run their operations more effectively and give you the visibility you need to protect your margins.
Tried, Tested, and In-House Auditing
Want to run audits in-house but lack the framework? Ascend™ is our SaaS model, providing the kit, the processes and the training you need. Our methods rest on 30 years of practice, and we equip your team to run effective daily audits with low administrative overhead. We provide the tools, you provide the resource, and together we secure your supply chain.
Integrity should not depend on whether you have external auditors on site every day. Our SaaS solution opens up the same standard of audit insight to your own people. We train your teams, deploy our established auditing kit and connect you to the RAS Prosper™ dashboard, so you have daily, reliable visibility of your audit performance.
This is service as a solution in practical terms. It combines the rigour of our 30-year audit record with the flexibility of an internal team. You get a tried and tested system, mobilised quickly and sustained at low cost, and you keep control of your integrity function.
Root-Cause Investigation and Shrink Resolution for Suppliers
Vendor relationships and inventory shrinkage require transparency if profitability across the retail network is to hold up. Our Vendor and Shrink Support service gives suppliers and retailers a framework for root cause investigation, built to resolve complex discrepancies that arise late in the supply chain. When shrinkage rises or disputes recur at store of contribution level, assumptions are no longer enough, and our independent audits establish where the operational breakdowns behind the loss actually sit.
The service runs alongside our Ascend™ Service as a Solution (SaaS) model, which equips vendors and retailers to carry out detailed operational analysis with expert guidance and established diagnostic kits. Internal teams can investigate systemic weaknesses, address late-stage friction in the supply chain and put preventative controls in place, without adding administrative burden. We close the gap between upstream production and what happens in store.
The service turns shrinkage management from a point of friction into a shared improvement stream. We establish why exceptions occur downstream and set the findings alongside the intelligence in the RAS Prosper™ dashboard, so everyone involved can protect margin, reduce disputed claims and build operational trust across the retail network.
Bespoke Auditing for Unique Operational Challenges
No two supply chains are identical. If you face a specific challenge that requires a targeted audit process, we are here to help. Our team works with you to design a custom solution that addresses your unique operational pain points, on your terms. We are your partners in operational certainty.
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all auditing. When a business comes to us with a unique inventory issue, a complex return problem, or a new channel challenge, we don't just apply a standard checklist. We design a bespoke process, backed by the same rigour that defines our core services and built our reputation.
From rapid-response audits for legislative change to deep-dive investigations into new market entries, our on-demand services provide the agility you need. We listen to the problem, analyse the data, and build a measurable, actionable audit plan that delivers results.
