Common problems
If any of these sound familiar, your supply chain is running on habit and memory rather than documented process.
Problem 1
Without an efficient ordering and forecasting process, you are either overstocked and paying for space you do not need, or understocked and losing sales you cannot recover.
Problem 2
Your sales team needs to know where stock is, when it arrives, and what the status is. Without a live, transparent system, every answer requires a phone call and nobody has a good one.
Problem 3
Your approval process is inconsistent. The wrong product gets ordered. The wrong product arrives. By the time anyone notices, there is no time to fix it, and the cost is significant.
Problem 4
Documentation cannot be located, so suppliers are not paid on time. Relationships that took years to build start to deteriorate because your internal process let them down.

Hands-On Experience Since 2019
SL Global is founded and led by Sheena Sawyer, who has managed international supply chain operations hands-on since 2019, within manufacturing and distribution environments where operational failure is not an option.
Traceability and Control Discipline
Built on the founder’s hands-on experience keeping physical stock, ERP records and serial number allocations in agreement across imported and locally manufactured products. A duplicated serial range cannot easily be recalled once it reaches a customer, so controls operated before allocation, not after.
Documented Operational Systems
SL Global develops SOPs, workflows, documented responsibilities and control frameworks so that each function can be run, checked and handed over without depending on one person.

Digital product
Every import order. Every cost. One page. The import control system, in Excel or Google Sheets, that tells you what to do next on every import order, and what every unit really cost. For businesses that import regularly but don't need, or want, a software subscription.
Know what needs action today
The Today page shows what is late, missing or waiting on you. Every line says what to do next.
Never close a shipment too early
Documents, supplier payment, quantities and the final agent invoice are checked, and anything still open is flagged before you close.
Know your real cost per unit
Enter the exchange rate you paid and your freight, clearing and duty costs once. Landed cost per unit is calculated for every product, and marked Final only when the real invoices are in.
Dump the monthly subscriptions. Pay once. Use it forever.
