Logistics Consulting

Whether it’s making the right partner selection or implementing a new tool into a current supply chain landscape, our logistics consultants partner with organizations to enhance supply chain management through logistics transformations. We help organizations optimize today’s network while preparing for tomorrow’s supply chain needs.

Our logistics consulting firm is ready to support your next supply chain transformation. Logistics consulting provides businesses with achievable strategies and recommendations for improved costs, customer experience, risk management, cost reduction strategies, and overall efficiency. With years of industry experience, Clarkston Consulting’s logistics consultants provide tailored solutions for your organization. Even though every industry and company evaluate their supply chain differently, they all depend on the same basic foundation, which must be reexamined. This foundation is utilizing their resources to ensure the right products go to the right door at the right time. It is important to recognize that even though the standards and regulations vary between life science, consumer product, and retail, these industries are being forced to reassess their current state and reimagine their logistics operations. Over time, industries have learned from and adopted each other’s standards and best practices. Improvements in serialization, tracking and tracing, and packaging cost reductions are important examples. Those advancements can guide logistics management and encourage a holistic view that uses all available resources, even those in other industries, instead of just what is being used currently. Logistics are considered a cost driver within organizations, so it is critical to prioritize enhancing your company’s current logistics strategy. Even though it is important to assess the capacity and capabilities within and outside your industry, to create an ideal strategy for your company, it is important to customize your plan to fit your company’s needs. When beginning your logistics network transformation, first look at your company from end-to-end and build an entire logistics picture. By starting there, you can see your company’s strengths and weaknesses regarding logistics, which also shows where resources can make the greatest impact. Revitalization of a generally overlooked piece of supply chain management takes commitment, resources, and time. When will you begin your logistics transformation? Our logistics team offers the following solutions: Supply Chain Partner Selection, Supply Chain Technology (WMS, TMS), and Logistics Vendor Integration. If you’re seeking guidance on designing your logistics strategy or optimizing your supply chain, our team can help.

Organize the in-between to achieve a steady outcome.

How can organizations effectively use their resources to ensure the right products go to the right door at the right time? The coordination of complex operations involves many people, facilities, suppliers and partners, and new vendors enter the scene regularly – whether it’s choosing providers for warehousing, 3PLs or IT solutions. Logistics are considered a cost-driver within organizations, so it is critical to prioritize enhancing your company’s current logistics strategy. However, revitalization of a generally overlooked piece of supply chain management takes commitment, resources, and time. With eCommerce growth and increasing globalization, forward-thinking industries that create logistics capacity will vault themselves past their peers. Our logistics consultants are prepared to support your organization in transforming your logistics network – from designing your logistics strategy to identifying a 3PL partner and everything in between.
