  • By mapping detailed cost drivers across channels, YCP develops tailored distribution strategies to trim costs while improving speed and reliability.

Enhancing Profitability Through Customer Segmentation

  • Many firms struggle to identify which customer segments drain resources, leading to hidden losses when serving smaller or unprofitable accounts.
  • Working with advanced analytics, YCP helps organizations distinguish high- and low-value segments, guiding smarter resource allocation.

Balancing Service Excellence with Sustainable Cost Control

What Our Clients Say About Us

"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
