A marine robotics scale-up was working to launch their own fleet, but without a Bill of Materials in place mobilisation of the first vessel was delayed over three months — an estimated £9 million in lost revenue. We were brought in to define processes from the ground up, collate a centralised BoM from disparate data sources, and diagnose risks and process gaps.
