I made the decision to bring in 3SIXTY because I knew there was a better way for us to be structured as a business. I asked the guys at 3SIXTY to look at our business in terms of how we are set up as a team, and how we do what we do. I wanted an external “health check” of the overall organisational design as well as recommendations for what we could do to be more efficient and more effective. 3SIXTY not only brought strong operational and organisational expertise, but it was clear from our work together that there was a genuine commitment to doing the right thing for our business. They delivered a practical set of solutions to allow us to realign in key areas of the business to facilitate scalable growth.

Keltech is growing, part of the challenge of growing at the pace we are growing at is to change the way we have always done things.  3SIXTY have come aboard and helped us become a modern international manufacturing company. They have supported us on developing our next generation of leaders, developing business processes that work now and will work equally well in 10 years’ time when we are a much bigger organisation. 3SIXTY don’t just hand us answers, they help us to make a Keltech solution, they learned to talk our language and bring the best out of everyone.

IITC have grown significantly and in 2022 decided to change our ERP system.  We approached 3SIXTY to provide expert guidance in ERP implementation and project management.  The 3SIXTY support provided both ERP expert and an expert Project Manager – in one person.  The move from legacy to the new ERP system is a long and complex process and with 3SIXTY’s guidance we launched the new ERP system on time.

I took the decision to bring in 3SIXTY because I knew that as we continued to scale, we needed to make sure we had a best-in-class Learning & Development function. I knew we needed to put the right structures, and culture, in place. And I wanted to make this happen fast. I didn’t want “advice”. I wanted someone who would come in, roll up their sleeves, and get things done. I wanted a plan, and then I wanted this plan executed. And this is exactly what I got from 3SIXTY. As well as being really strong operationally and technically, and delivering what we needed, I was really impressed by 3SIXTY’s commitment to doing the right thing for our business.

West were faced with a period of exponential growth during Covid. We were significant contributors in the vaccine supply chain, and as such, delivering on time and in full was critical to the global supply of the vaccine. We called in 3SIXTY to help us achieve delivery on time and in full.

The team from 3SIXTY took a practical hands-on approach to problem solving. They helped us in all aspects of Supply Chain execution and the team brought huge knowledge and expertise with them.

I knew we needed some additional structure around our Marketing efforts. We needed to be more focussed. And we needed to have the right routines in place. I wanted a clear Marketing plan which would include all of this, and support our growth plans. And I wanted this plan to be based on solving specific pain points for specific clients in our key target sectors. What I get from 3SIXTY isn’t “high-level consultancy”. It’s the delivery of practical and focussed plans of action which increase awareness of our business in our target sectors

I brought in 3SIXTY because I wanted an independent, expert perspective on where we are today as a business. At Merenda, we want to be the best business we can be. Specifically, I wanted to understand our level of maturity across Supply Chain, Operations and Digitalisation. I wanted to understand this baseline so we could track progress as we continue to grow the business over the coming years. And this is exactly what I got from 3SIXTY. I was impressed by their ability to very quickly understand our business and the environment we operate in, and to make very practical recommendations for improvements

We wanted to work with a partner who could hit-the-ground-running; could understand our business quickly, and work with us to make the changes we knew needed to be made. We didn’t want “advice”. We wanted actionable solutions and we wanted them implemented. 3SIXTY delivered on all of these fronts. As well as bringing deep Operational Excellence expertise, they provided valuable insights and effective solutions for key changes we needed to make. We are now better placed to deliver the highest quality to our customers, and grow our sales in line with our ambitions

We have worked with 3SIXTY over the last 18 months to develop our supply chain capability. 3SIXTY have helped us to develop the skills of the team, develop the Sales and Operations planning process and develop the planning process such that it is proactive rather than reactive.

3SIXTY have demonstrated that they are skilled at working at all levels of the organisation and can deliver strategically, operationally and tactically, across all levels of the organisation. We have seen how the supply chain team have evolved over the course of the engagement.

3SIXTY have demonstrated that they can and will get into the depths of the business, really understand how our business works and made the best recommendations for our business.

We would recommend 3SIXTY to any client. 

3SIXTY developed a detailed understanding of our business model and processes which allowed them get to the core of our operational challenges really quickly. The areas of our operation which 3SIXTY reviewed are now more efficient. They also quickly diagnosed what we needed in terms of team structure, and roles and responsibilities and this new structure will help support our future growth. What I really liked was the respectful way in which they challenged us to look at things differently. And by putting a clear and robust succession plan in place, 3SIXTY helped ensure there was a seamless transition from our retiring General Manager to our new General Manager

We have worked with 3SIXTY for a number of years and across a range of areas of our business; Leadership Development, Digital Strategy, and Supply Chain Optimisation. What we get from 3SIXTY is really practical “on the ground” support. They answer real-world questions with real, actionable solutions. We regard them as Trusted Advisers. We know we can call on them at any time and their response will be based entirely on what is right for our business. We are particularly impressed by their deep understanding of the MedTech sector and its complex supply chains. Thanks to their help, we have been able to unlock new growth opportunities and position ourselves for long-term success. We would highly recommend 3SIXTY to any company looking to stay ahead of the curve

With 3SIXTY’s support, we’ve been able to rebuild the business into an Irish success story. Our people are key to that success, and we’ve now got an organisation that is focused on the right things, that is set up to manage the pressure, and pre-empt any bottlenecks that might occur. We’ve just celebrated our best year ever, and that’s all down to the support from 3SIXTY

“3SIXTY’s ability to add value to the process became very obvious very quickly. We needed someone to come in, engage effectively with the team, quickly understand the processes and, ultimately, make those processes better. 3SIXTY brought the project-management approach we were looking for. It was not just a question of procedural improvements but technological improvement also. 3SIXTY helped us identify where we were seeing failures, understand why these failures were occurring, and put appropriate remedies in place. 3SIXTY’s data-driven approach helped us understand precisely where the problems were. They also helped redesign processes which were improvements on the way certain tasks had previously been done” –
