Industries

Where operational complexity has outgrown management visibility.

Xylm focuses on asset-heavy and transaction-heavy businesses where decisions depend on information spread across ERP, spreadsheets, operational systems and people's memory.

Focus sectors

Five focus sectors where the Control Tower model applies directly.

Manufacturing

Multi-plant operations where production plans, material availability, quality and customer commitments are managed in different systems and reconciled in meetings.

  • Order and delivery commitment risk
  • Plan attainment and throughput visibility
  • Material availability against schedule
  • Cost and margin by product or line

Industrial and specialty materials

Businesses with long procurement cycles, volatile input pricing and significant capital tied up in inventory that ages quietly.

  • Inventory ageing and working-capital exposure
  • Landed cost and realised margin
  • Supplier lead-time and delivery risk
  • Grade, batch and specification-level performance

Distribution and trading

High transaction volumes across customers, suppliers and locations, where profitability by segment is rarely visible at the speed decisions are made.

  • Margin by customer, product and channel
  • Fill rate and fulfilment performance
  • Receivables and collection risk
  • Stock positioning across locations

Retail and consumer

Multi-location and multi-channel businesses where demand shifts faster than the reporting cycle that is meant to explain it.

  • Demand movement by product and channel
  • Store, channel and category performance
  • Inventory availability against demand
  • Promotion and pricing outcome visibility

Logistics and supply chain

Operations spanning multiple partners and systems, where exceptions surface late and coordination depends on messages and follow-up calls.

  • Shipment and delivery exception visibility
  • Partner and lane performance
  • Cost-to-serve by customer or route
  • Escalation ownership across handovers
How we work

Sector depth, applied through the same delivery model.

The Control Tower architecture does not change by sector. What changes is the decision set: which exceptions matter, which thresholds signal risk, who owns the response and how quickly it has to happen. That is defined with your leadership team during the diagnostic, before any build begins.

Adjacent sectors

We take on work outside these focus areas only where the decision structure is genuinely comparable. If it is not a fit, we will say so in the first conversation.

Discuss the decisions that matter in your operation.
