We have an enormous respect for facts and figures, evidence and analytics. These things act like a solid foundation, firm ground below our feet. Allowing us to leap faster and further into the unknown.
If we condensate it to a minimum you could say that we deliver services clustered into three themes; M&A, Strategy and Business Improvement. Below are some examples of work we’ve done and our takes on current topics. We hope you enjoy the read!
Healthcare costs are increasing. The population is getting older. Doctors are scarce and expensive. While treatments have improved, distribution has been unchanged for decades. But hey, new technology is about to change the health system for good. A digital visit is way cheaper than a regular appointment to a physician and makes psychologists a lot more accessible. The geographical dependency is zero and creates much needed flexibility to fit today’s lifestyle. As if this wasn’t enough, we can use AI to improve scheduling efficiency, as well as VR and AR to set certain diagnoses. Connecting healthcare professionals and patients through an app enables anyone, anywhere to get the help they need – and we’re super excited to work with the innovators making this possible.
Feeding a population of >9 billion by 2050 is a global challenge. How can innovation help us overcome future resource scarcity? Bugs, plant-based “meat” and fish farming on land are some of the most fashionable (food) ideas for saving our planet. And it looks promising. Aquaculture is today the fastest growing food sector globally, solving plenty of problems but also posing challenges both in the waters and in transportation. Large-scale production on land, however, allows for farming fish right next to the end customer and might be commercially viable and reach critical volumes already by 2020. Is this one of the solutions we should be counting on or should we look elsewhere?

Mid-globalization the business of warehousing is going through massive changes and transformations. More and more companies automate their warehouses with digitalization and automation. But what might be the most vital parts in reforming warehouses is to make the supply chain more effective and reduce dependency on accurate forecasting. When you and your company can be more flexible, match your clients demands and still keep your warehouse slim and effective you most certainly get an edge against competitors in the same business as you. Your way of warehousing might be the difference between making it or breaking it.

The bus eco-system is on the verge of embracing and being transformed by new technologies. Electromobility will soon enable silent and emission-free buses, connectivity will allow real time optimization of the traffic flow and autonomous driving has the potential to transform a morning commuter’s experience into a smooth ride. At Cupole we are thrilled to help our partners in the bus eco-system to develop strategies to refuel and shift into a higher gear of transformation. (And if these still are unprecise buzzwords to you, we’ll help you with that.)

70% of all supplier promotions and well above 40% of all retail promotions are unprofitable, even after adjusting for supplier funding. The good news; there are concrete actions you – as a retailer or supplier – can take to start fixing your promotions. Let AI figure out the truth.
In a world where the customer is in charge, where data is totally transparent, where competition is just a click away, and retailers are set-up by definition as a focal point towards customers: Is it really a retailer’s business to fulfill the omni experience – will a retailer ever be able to? Will customers ever be truly omni-satisfied by actions of a single retailer and is it a paradox for a focal point to strive for omni?
