Client Challenges We Solve

Why Companies Call Us

If any of these sound familiar, this engagement is built for you.

1

Network sprawled across too many DCs with overlapping coverage

2

Carrier mix fragmented — too many small shipments at premium rates

3

Inconsistent service levels across regions or product lines

4

No visibility into true cost-to-serve by customer or SKU

5

Decentralized decision-making between procurement, ops, and sales

6

Rising transportation costs eroding margins faster than price increases

Our Approach

A 4-Phase Engagement

Structured, transparent, and built around measurable outcomes.

01

Network Baseline

Pull 24 months of shipment, order, and cost data. Build SKU-customer-facility cube. Identify outliers and structural waste.

02

Modeling & Scenarios

Build discrete-event simulation and optimization models. Test 4-6 scenarios: status quo, consolidate, regionalize, micro-fulfillment, automation.

03

Carrier & 3PL Strategy

Right-size carrier mix, evaluate insource vs outsource, and design 3PL governance model.

04

Roadmap & Business Case

12-24 month sequenced transformation plan with capex/opex breakdown, payback period, and change management plan.
