🧠 RapidThrive + ChatGPT Action Guide
🎯 V7 Objective: Free Up €10M in Cash Using an Asset-Light Strategy
1️⃣ STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE
Transition from owning heavy industrial assets (plants, tanks, trucks) to an asset-light, platform-powered model to free up capital and increase operational agility.
💰 Target: Free up €10M in Year 1 for reinvestment in growth, digital, and margin
