Logistics network design, also referred to as distribution network design or logistics network strategy, is a strategic initiative aimed at identifying the most cost-effective solution that fulfils customer requirements. It involves designing the flow of goods from manufacturers to customers via various warehouses and serves as a vital component of the supply chain.
Procurement and logistics outsourcing occurs when a business engages an external provider to manage logistics operations on its behalf. These external companies, known as third-party logistics (3PL) providers or logistics service providers (LSPs), handle various logistics functions. Commonly outsourced activities include the storage (warehousing) and transportation of goods.
A Transport Management System (TMS) is software designed to facilitate the planning, execution, and optimisation of transport activities across the supply chain. It integrates order data from a Warehouse Management System (WMS) to plan and monitor transport movements. TMS solutions are used to enhance the efficiency of inbound and outbound logistics across various modes of freight.
We evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of your existing operations, making sure that market factors, like fuel prices, are accurately reflected in current logistics and supply chain expenses. Additionally, we establish processes to capitalize on future trends strategically.
