Supply Chain Optimization & Consulting FAQ

Both. We can stop at the design and modeling, or step in as your Lead Logistics Partner and run the whole network—from manufacturing to central and regional distribution centers through crossdocks to your customers' doors, including the carriers and 3PLs in between. Most customers start with a network study and grow the relationship from there.

We gather your transactional data and business requirements, baseline your current network, then run optimization scenarios using industry-leading design software. You get recommendations grounded in your real numbers—optimal facility locations, the right number of nodes, and the cost and service tradeoffs of each scenario—not a generic best-practice template.

Our dedicated Business Process Integration team works from a proven playbook: a step-by-step ramp plan, clear milestones, and transitions sequenced in a logical order at the right intervals. As one example, we moved 14 buildings over 18 months while keeping service intact. Our IT team handles WMS, TMS, and RF connectivity so your systems stay in sync throughout.

A consulting project is scoped work—a network study, a greenfield site design, an optimization analysis—with a defined start and finish. A Lead Logistics Partner (LLP) relationship is ongoing: we take accountability for managing and continuously improving your network over time, including the carrier and 3PL partners within it. Many partnerships begin as a project and evolve into an LLP engagement.

Both. We design greenfield facilities from location selection through full build-out—construction, layout, racking, licensing, IT, and staffing—and we also rationalize existing networks by consolidating overlapping facilities, eliminating redundant nodes, and reducing inventory carrying costs.

A network engagement begins as soon as we can align on scope and access your data. For partnerships, we typically kick off with an alignment session, define the work scope and targets, then document a formal plan before moving into implementation—an approach designed to give you confidence and speed without skipping the groundwork.
