Independent logistics advice and hands-on support

We review how your logistics operation works, identify problems and opportunities, and create a practical improvement plan. We can define and implement new operating models and optimise or refine existing logistics networks. If required, we can also manage the changes through to completion.

We help select the right routes, carriers and modes of transport, improve difficult international lanes, and reduce freight costs without losing reliability.

We assess warehouse and distribution arrangements, help select facilities or 3PL partners, and improve inventory flow, productivity and service. We can also define the location and capacity requirements for hubs, warehouses and the wider logistics footprint.

We prepare and run tenders, compare suppliers, help identify the logistics service providers best suited to your needs, support contract negotiations and put clear measures in place to manage ongoing performance.

We help define requirements and select and implement TMS, WMS and ERP solutions, control towers, on-board computers, track-and-trace systems, pallet-management tools and timeslot-booking tools. We can also support warehouse automation and create or improve dashboards and reporting so managers have useful, reliable information.

We investigate high costs, poor service or recurring operational problems and analyse emissions across transport and warehousing. We then work with your teams and suppliers on measurable improvements and practical reduction projects covering transport modes, routing, vehicle utilisation, energy use and supplier performance.

We help businesses plan and manage secure movements, high-value or sensitive cargo, hazardous goods, temperature-controlled and cold-chain logistics, compliance requirements, operational risk and business continuity.

We can plan and support project logistics, event logistics and other complex or time-critical movements, including coordination with suppliers and on-the-ground support.

We provide on-the-ground logistics support for companies setting up or expanding in the Middle East and can support the recruitment of logistics specialists and operational teams.

We can lead a logistics function or major project for a defined period, build the right team and processes, and provide a clear handover when the work is complete.
