Operations Diagnostic Your operation loses money every day. We tell you where.
In four weeks you will know where money leaks from your operation, what to fix first and what it costs to fix it. At a fixed price, with a report that is yours whether you continue with us or not.

In transport and agri-food, margin is not lost in the sale. It is lost in operations.
You see it every day and it no longer surprises you. That is exactly why it keeps costing money.
Pallets that go missing
Someone looks for them, someone calls the customer and someone redoes the order. Nobody records how much time that took.
Routes planned by hand
Every morning the same spreadsheet, the same person, and the same problem on the day that person is off.
Delivery notes typed in twice
From paper to the system, and from the system to the invoice. Every time someone copies data, an error slips in that someone has to chase later.
Cold rooms and docks nobody measures
If you do not know how long a lorry waits at the dock or how long a cold room stays full, you cannot know what it costs you.
Do the maths. One hour a day planning routes or re-entering delivery notes adds up to more than 200 hours a year. Per person. And it shows up in no report, because nobody is looking.
And when someone finally decides to act, they start at the wrong end
Software is bought before the process is understood
The tool arrives, the team keeps working as before and the problem stays where it was. Now with one more licence to pay for.
Hourly consulting that never ends
Meetings, endless documents and an invoice that grows every month. In the end nobody knows what to do on Monday.
Shop-window AI
A flashy demo, a proof of concept that never reaches production, and the feeling of having paid for a video.
The problem is not the technology. It is starting with the technology.
The Operations Diagnostic: understand first, invest later
We put on the table what you cannot see today, in a fixed format: defined scope, a concrete deliverable and a price you know from day one. Where technology and AI add value, we tell you how. Where they do not, we tell you that too.
Overview map of the whole operation
With management, we go through every area at a high level: purchasing, warehouse, traffic, admin and customers. Nothing is left out of the picture, and we make an informed choice about where to look in detail.
Up to 3 priority processes, in depth
Together we choose the processes with the most impact and analyse them in detail: how they run today, where time and money are lost, and which parts can be automated.
What you get
Clear priorities
What to do first, what next and what is not worth it.
Figures to decide with
An indicative estimate of investment, savings and return for each initiative.
A roadmap
A 12-month phased plan, matched to your capacity and budget.
Technology with judgement
Only what fits the way you work, with the EU AI Act and data protection checked before you invest.
What is included, point by point
You know what you pay before you start. The scope is defined and the price does not change.

Interviews with key people and a day at your site.
Phase 3 · Analysis
Study of the processes, identification and prioritisation of opportunities, and estimate of investment and return.
Phase 4 · Results
Delivery of the report, presentation to management and a round of feedback.
What we need from you
- One contact person with decision-making power throughout the diagnostic.
- Time in the diary for the kick-off session and interviews within the first two weeks.
- Available documentation for the selected processes: procedures, reports, delivery notes or work samples.
- Access to your site on the on-site day.
The timeline starts from the kick-off session. If schedules or information are delayed, the timeline moves by the same amount.
A report to act on, not to file away
At the end you receive a written report and a presentation session with management. It is designed for you to make decisions with, whether or not you keep working with us. The report is yours.
Operations map
The company by area, with its key processes and the tools it uses today.
Diagnostic of priority processes
How each one works, where time or money is lost and what data it produces.
Prioritised opportunities
Each opportunity described and placed on an impact-effort matrix.
12-month roadmap
Phases, dependencies and recommended order, matched to your capacity.
Estimated investment and return
Indicative ranges of cost, savings and payback period for each initiative.
Risks and compliance

First, what delivers most for the least effort
Each opportunity is rated by its business impact and the effort it takes. That way you see at a glance where to start and what is best left for later.
It is not for everyone. And that is fine.
We would rather tell you now than waste four weeks of your time.
It is for you if

- You know your operation is losing money, but not exactly where or how much.
- You want to decide with figures before investing in technology.
- You can assign one person with decision-making power for four weeks.
It is not for you if
- You are looking for a free AI demo.
- You already know which software you want and just need someone to install it.
- You want a report to tick a box and leave in a drawer.
- Your team cannot spare a few hours for interviews.

Before you request it
Why do you charge for the diagnostic?
Why do you charge for the diagnostic?
Because it is real work: interviews, a day at your site, process analysis and a report with figures. A free diagnostic ends up being a sales pitch in disguise. This one is yours, whether you continue with us or not. And if you do, it is deducted from the project.
How does the discount work if we then hire you for the project?
How does the discount work if we then hire you for the project?
If you hire Advantys for the implementation project within 60 days of receiving the report, we deduct the €3,900 from its price, up to a maximum of 25% of the project value.
