Logistics

Transportation

Fast is not always the most efficient and cheap is not always best. Designing the proper transportation chain for your needs requires careful analysis. Our analyses help you make the right choices and decisions to ensure your supply chain's success. We tailor our approach to each client according to their situation, needs, and budget.

Distribution

Customer expectations, inventory management, and available channels are just some of the considerations to analyze in the design of a distribution network. Successful analyses depends on having the right data, the quality of the data, and understanding what conclusions that the data can provide. We help clients understand what the data means, guide them through our analytical process, and explain what design conclusions to draw from the result.

Import / Export Questions

Whether importing inventory into a fulfillment center or exporting orders direct to consumer, international shipping can be a highly complex challenge for a business. Import or export? Air vs. ocean? Small parcel or freight? EXW or DAP? These are just some of the questions that a business faces in the international trade arena. We help clients answer those questions as well as guide them to resources for questions they may not have considered yet. We can also help them choose the right logistics providers for international trade.

Shipping insurance

When is insurance not insurance? The area of carrier liability and shipping insurance is another area of complexity that businesses must consider. Often requiring an expert's understanding, shipping insurance is often a foggy, arcane area of logistics. However, our team are more than capable of guiding clients through that fog in order to make the right choices.

Hazardous Material / Dangerous Goods

"But it's only a small battery!" The logistics of handling and shipping goods that are classified as hazardous/dangerous is fraught with potential risk both to a business and its logistics partners. We help clients determine if their goods are classified as hazardous/dangerous and, if so, we can advise with the resulting logistics decisions.
