Business Strategy
VST began as a traditional sprinkler engineering company but quickly evolved into a rapidly scaling manufacturer. As demand increased, the company faced intense market pressure and structural limitations created by traditional distributor networks. To maintain momentum and secure control over quality, speed, and innovation, VST needed vertical integration, transforming from an engineering-focused operation into a fully integrated manufacturing powerhouse.
We worked closely with VST to design and implement a fully integrated operational model across transport, production, and warehousing. Through detailed value-chain analysis, we identified bottlenecks caused by external distributors and mapped which processes VST needed to internalize to regain control over lead times, availability, and production capacity.
We then built a modular operational framework that connected engineering, manufacturing, and logistics. This included setting up optimized production workflows, establishing in-house assembly capabilities, and introducing standardized processes for quality assurance and traceability.
To support rapid scaling, we developed a warehousing structure with improved inventory management, faster picking and packing routines, and clearer communication flows between storage, transport, and production. Parallel to this, we created a transport model that reduced dependency on third parties and secured predictable delivery times.
By integrating these core functions, VST gained operational stability, increased production speed, and obtained the autonomy needed to meet rising market demand.
The vertical integration of transport, production, and warehousing gave VST full control over its operational backbone. In-house production significantly reduced lead times and improved consistency in output, while the new assembly workflows increased capacity without compromising quality.
The optimized warehousing structure enabled faster processing, clearer stock visibility, and more efficient coordination with production lines. With a dedicated transport model in place, VST could guarantee reliable delivery schedules and operate independently from the constraints of external distributors.
Together, these improvements created a stable, scalable system that supported rapid growth, strengthened supply continuity, and allowed VST to meet increasing market demand with confidence and precision.

With our disruptive mindset, we were looking for support to guide our growth in a sustainable and strategic way. Thanks to the Rebel Force Platform, we can outsource everything from strategy to execution.
