01
Handoffs that leak time
Orders, invoices, ASNs, claims — they arrive as files, mail, or spreadsheets. Someone retypes them. The error lives in the gap.

Tell me the process. I’ll tell you if I can help.
Marr Advisory helps operators fix the messy handoffs in planning, procurement and logistics — the rekeying, the exceptions, the tools that don’t talk. You work with Phil Marr directly. Not a bench of juniors.

The work
Supply chains still run on workarounds.
02
Exceptions are the job
Your team spends the day chasing the mismatches, not running the plan. That is where the hours go.
03
Tools without an owner
ERP, Xero, MYOB, Excel, a warehouse portal. None of them close the loop unless someone designs the next action.

Method
Tell me the process. Then we decide.
01Tell me the process
A short discovery call. How the work really runs — clicks, emails, spreadsheets, systems.
02Readiness review
Is there a real opportunity? I articulate what it is, what it is worth, and whether automation (or simpler process work) is the answer.
03Scoped proposal
A package designed around that problem — not a fixed catalogue. You accept it, or you don’t.
04Contract and build
We write the agreement, then get to work with clear gates. Your team owns the outcome.

Purchase orders are a common starting point. The same pattern applies to invoices, ASNs, claims, delivery reconciliations, and other handoffs — on the systems you already run.

About
Eighteen years inside the operation. I fix the parts that should never have been heroic.
I’m Phillip Marr. I have led national planning, inventory and 3PL work across building products and dairy — S&OP / IBP, network design, and the ERP programmes that sit underneath.
I know what a real planning week looks like. Marr Advisory is built from that seat: practical process and automation work for operators who are tired of workarounds.
You deal with me directly. If it is not a fit, you will hear that early.
