Why construction teams choose Beryl Analytics for supply chain optimisation

How we deliver supply chain optimisation engagements

  1. 01

    Discovery sprint (week 1)

    Two days on-site with your operators to map the workflow, half a day with leadership to align on the dollar metric, and an afternoon writing the scope memo we'll work to.

  2. 02

    Spike the riskiest assumption (weeks 2-3)

    Before committing to the build, we attack the assumption most likely to kill the project — usually data availability or operator adoption. A negative result here saves months.

  3. 03

    Build, in public (weeks 4-8)

    Daily commits to a shared repo your engineers can read. Weekly demo to the operator group. Nothing is built in private.

  4. 04

    Production cutover (weeks 9-10)

    A planned cutover with a rollback plan, monitoring, and a human in the loop for the first fortnight. We don't walk away from cold launches.

Frequently asked questions about Supply Chain Optimisation for Construction

How long does a typical Supply Chain Optimisation engagement take for a construction business?

Most supply chain optimisation projects for construction firms land a working production slice within 4-6 weeks, then harden and expand over the following 8-12 weeks. Larger construction programmes that touch multiple business units take 4-6 months end-to-end.

What data do you need to start a Supply Chain Optimisation project in construction?

Minimum viable inputs are 12-18 months of historical transactional or operational data, basic entity reference tables, and access to the systems that will consume the output. We can work with messy data — cleaning is part of the engagement.

Can Beryl Analytics integrate supply chain optimisation with our existing construction firms systems?

Yes. We're tool-agnostic and have integrated with Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, custom in-house platforms, and dozens of construction-specific systems. Insights surface inside the tools your operators already use.

How do you measure success on a Supply Chain Optimisation engagement?

Before we model anything, we agree the business decision the output will change and the dollar metric we're targeting — revenue lifted, cost avoided, or risk reduced. Supply Chain Optimisation engagements in construction typically return 4-12x within the first year.

Do you work with construction businesses outside major NZ and AU cities?

Yes. We deliver remotely across New Zealand and Australia and visit on-site for discovery, key workshops, and go-live. Distance is not a blocker — many of our highest-impact supply chain optimisation engagements have been with regional construction firms.
