Situation and requirement
This company is a key player in the events sector and has been providing equipment for its clients, caterers and companies organising events for more than 50 years.
To support its growth and respond to increasing demand, it has made major investments (relocation, recruitment, etc.). As a result, it has generated debt and found itself with an organisation unable to keep up with growth, leading to a deterioration in profitability and demobilisation of the workforce. It also revealed communication difficulties between the commercial, administrative and operational functions.
In a case like this, MLA delivers a clear diagnosis that enables more effective actions with a consistent and relevant economic vision of the company's actual performance and a profitability analysis.
