How We Help Companies in the Logistics and Freight Industry
Our freight and logistics consulting team partners with companies specializing in sea forwarding, freight forwarding, contract logistics, road and air freight, and cargo.
- We collaborate with clients on innovation. Winning market share in the 2020s demands that logistics and freight companies innovate to address customer pain points even before they are articulated—and continue to do so consistently. We help clients to streamline and accelerate their innovation processes and to hire, train, and lead their teams to become more agile.
- We help our clients become customer-centric. Our freight and logistics consulting team fuels innovation by helping our clients gather more detailed and better-structured data so they paint a fine-grained picture of existing customers and their needs. We then channel that knowledge to reenvision quoting and booking processes, salesforce organization and efforts, pricing strategies, and a robust and balanced portfolio of offerings.
- We partner with logistics and freight industry companies to build advanced IT, analytics, and digital capabilities. Formulating a sound freight strategy requires an in-depth understanding of the technological landscape, market conditions, probable future trends, and competitors’ capabilities. For some companies, the best approach is to build these capabilities through acquisition; for others it is organic growth. Our freight consulting team helps navigate both paths. We also bring deep industry expertise—and broad experience applying tech and digital across industries—to develop digital logistics and freight offerings, and launching data platforms with multiple participants including competitors.
- We advise clients on transformations that better integrate their freight operations. We help rethink operating models to achieve greater supply chain visibility, services bundling, and other efficiencies. These transformations enable companies to add such new services as customs clearance, inland transportation, and warehousing. Ultimately, the resulting gains in efficiency, functionality, and connectivity position logistics and freight companies to deliver end-to-end supply chain management and other solutions.
