Logistics Consulting

Our team of logistics consultants are normally contacted when a customer needs to make a change to their logistics arrangements in order to facilitate delivery of their latest business plans or sales forecasts.

Examples of situations that require a review:

• Acquisition of a new business
• Capability to fulfil a new sales channel e.g. B2C
• Winning or losing major contracts in B2B
• Approaching the end of a contract with a logistics service provider
• Approaching capacity limits within existing logistics sites

Commonly clients approach us with questions such as:

• We have a sales plan for the next 5 years, does our current logistics infrastructure have enough capacity?
• We only deliver B2B and we want to sell B2C, what do we have to do to develop the relevant logistics capability?
• We are a regional business that wants to become a national business. What changes do we need to make to facilitate this?
• We are based in the UK but want to expand sales into Europe post Brexit, how can we do this?
• We have acquired a new business and we want to combine the logistics operations to benefit from economies of scale. What steps need to be taken to achieve this?
• We are looking outsource our logistics operations should we do this and if so how do we best engage with logistics service providers/3PLs?
• We are looking to implement a warehouse management system, which one should we select to meet our requirement? What process should be undertaken to do this?
• Where should we locate our new warehouse/s to optimise both warehousing and transport costs while maintaining service requirements?
• What inventory should I hold where in my supply chain network?
