People. Aren’t they your most important resource?
People. Your staff. Worker bees. Managers. Executives.
They’re the oil that keeps the machine moving. And we have tools and services that can help them reach their potential.
Robotic Process Automation. Free the Humans.
A robot? Why would I need a robot?
Well, this kind of robot is a software program designed to interact with the same workstations, laptops, systems and data that your people do. If it’s a process with rules and decisions, the robot can do it – without error, very quickly, and much, much less expensively than a human being.
Thousands of companies are getting on the bandwagon, relieving humans from tedious, non-creative tasks.
You probably hear it every day: “I’m spending half my time matching up invoices for processing. I don’t have time to get my real work done!“
Let a software robot match up the invoices so your valuable Payables Manager can get back to work on that new system that requires his daily oversight.
We can find the low hanging fruit within your business, and do a pilot project so that you can see for yourself the benefits of RPA.
Automation technology is advancing at a breathtaking pace.
We encourage you to give RPA a try. We can do a very brief, app-driven discovery and find low-hanging fruit to demonstrate to you the very real benefits of RPA.
Program and Project Management
There are times when you don’t just need more hands – you need more leadership. And it would be especially helpful if that leadership came equipped with a set of tools and techniques that helped assure a successful project.
TPG has directed and managed programs at its retail clients for many years. Along the way we’ve developed a set of proprietary tools and techniques that we feel are second to none in helping your staff be effectively engaged.
ExPERT Methodology
We’ve honed this automated toolset through experience. It helps organize, control and manage difficult projects.
Experienced PM's
We know – hard to find. Especially when you need someone quickly, ready to step in cold and take the reins. Let us help.
Retail Knowledge
We match the background of our managerial experts to your specific business environment. If, say, your project is implementing a new Inventory system, you’ll get an inventory-savvy manager.
Ready Now!
We understand. You need it yesterday and the pressure is on. Call us and we’ll get the perfect resource to you quickly.
Industrial Labor Optimization
You’ve got a Warehouse and maybe some Distribution Centers. Lots of products, lots of people, lots of movement. A certain opportunity for chaos and inefficiency. And cost.
At TPG, we know the demands that industrial operations place on your logistics ecosystem, and we have the efficiency experts that can help streamline people and movements. We use data-driven logistics to do more than just ‘grease the skids’ – we’ll help your business take off.
Discovery
This is the initial deep-dive. Our experts evaluate everything from logistics to people to software and processes. No stone left unturned – we provide a thorough analysis of what’s going on beneath the covers – and why.
Time Studies
Proper time studies are as much art as science. It takes an experienced hand to generate meaningful metrics. Too many variables and important factors can be obscured. Too few and you may miss something entirely. We have that experience.
Labor Management
This is not just about keeping troops in line and working cohesively. It’s also about providing the processes and tools needed for people to function at their best. And automating tasks that an RPA bot could be doing – letting people do the creative work.
Health Check
Like everything else in an optimized retail setting, it’s never about a one-and-done effort. Tuning optimization is an ongoing process, needing regular health checks and reporting to identify issues before they become roadblocks to efficiency.
.A few People Optimization Success Stories
Achieving success for our clients in People Optimization is often about relationships with the Business. The more we understand them – really put ourselves in their shoes – the better we do.
And we think we’re doing great!
Managed WMS Implementation
A very challenging job, they needed to coordinate and direct four vendors and work with our Divisions across the country. Came in on time and within budget. Everyone loved them!
Engineering Study
We asked TPG to do a deep-dive into our DC logistics and labor workflows. They did an amazing job.
Implemented Security Program
TPG led a two year effort for us, organizing and establishing a global security program. They managed it the first two years then mentored us in assuming control.
Helped us Select
We were new to EDI, so invited TPG to devise and manage the RFP/RFI process and advise us regarding vendor selection. They turned a difficult process into an easy success.
