LOGISTICS CHANGE MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

Logistics change management we deliver

We have decades of experience in logistics change management. Here are just some of the logistics changes we can deliver for your business.

The integration of automation and robotics in logistics can streamline processes such as order picking, packing, and palletising. Automation reduces the reliance on manual labour, increases accuracy, and enhances throughput. However, establishing a business case for automation and robotics can be challenging and the design and implementation complex. Consequently many businesses find our support in this area critical.

Lean logistics focuses on eliminating waste and maximising value by streamlining processes, reducing lead times, and minimising inventory. We’re skilled in techniques such as value stream mapping, just-in-time (JIT) inventory, and continuous improvement to drive operational excellence.

Centralisation consolidates activities in a few locations to achieve economies of scale, while decentralisation distributes operations across multiple sites to enhance responsiveness and customer service. Deciding on the right strategy for your business requires expertise in data modelling and scenario planning. As a consultancy we have both the expertise and systems to identify the right approach and help you deliver.

Outsourcing logistics functions to 3PL providers allows businesses to leverage external expertise, resources and potentially cost savings. Our team has decades of experience with the third-party sector and have helped many businesses migrate to a third-party solution.

Growing environmental concerns have led to stricter regulations on emissions, waste management, and sustainability practices. We help clients adopt eco-friendly practices, such as using alternative fuels and optimising routes to reduce carbon footprints.

Changes in trade policies, tariffs, and customs regulations can impact international logistics. We assist our clients in staying informed about regulatory updates, adjusting their supply chain strategies accordingly, and ensuring compliance to avoid disruptions and penalties.

Fluctuations in demand require logistics operations to be agile and responsive. We’ve worked with many businesses implementing demand forecasting, inventory optimisation, and flexible transportation solutions that helps manage demand variability and maintain service levels.
