Step 1: Protocol audit
We audit the inventory rules you already use and compare the ledger with what is physically in the bay. The gaps are where plans fail. UK-based reviewers do that comparison on site.

Human judgement for metal markets
Software is a tool, not a rescue. Abeleworks pairs the allocation platform with people who have spent years inside volatile metal supply chains.
We do not email a login and disappear. We work inside the operation until every material movement the plan depends on is actually recorded.
Our consulting approach
A cluttered inventory becomes a lean one by removing the steps that hide metal, not by adding another report.
Step 2: Custom allocation design
A scrap yard and a finishing plant do not share a template. We design allocation rules around your throughput, then leave you with a material-flow roadmap rather than a settings file nobody owns.
Step 3: Support and execution
Go-live is the start. Implementation, floor training, and follow-up run from our Bristol headquarters at 2 Stirling Rd, Brislington, Bristol BS4 3PD. We stay until the new routine is ordinary for the team on shift.
British base, wider metal markets
From Bristol, Abeleworks works with both local haulage realities and the price moves that hit every buyer of metal. Generic operations consulting rarely knows the difference between a grade that can wait and a grade that cannot.
The arithmetic is the easy part. The margin is in the sequence.

Less inventory waste
That is the average reduction clients report in the first six months after the allocation model is in daily use.
