Logistics Network Optimization
ㅤ
to Enhance Your Supply Chain
optimize your logistics network
When it comes to your supply chain, an inefficient network can silently eat away at margins, damage customer satisfaction, and weaken your competitive edge. Poorly designed routes, under-utilized hubs, redundant inventory, or lack of visibility can all lead to:
• Elevated transportation and inventory carrying costs
• Delays and missed deliveries
• Excess carbon emissions and sustainability penalties
• Difficulty scaling operations or adapting to market shocks
Our Approach: Precision, Partnership, Performance
Our logistics network optimization process is designed to be collaborative, data‐driven, and results-oriented. Working with us typically involves:
1. Data Collection & Diagnostic Assessment
We start by gathering your current network data: warehousing costs, transport routes, demand profiles, inventory levels, delivery SLAs, etc., to establish a baseline.
2. Network Design & Modeling
Using advanced modeling tools and scenario simulation, we test alternate configurations affecting facilities, cross-docks, freight lanes, and flow patterns. We model cost vs service trade-offs.
3. Implementation & Optimization
Once we agree on a design, we help you implement: carrier alignment, facility locational changes, route scheduling, inventory rebalancing, technology (like our Amous TMS and analytics platform).
4. Continuous Monitoring & Improvement
Optimization isn't a one-time project. We monitor performance, refine routing or facility usage, adapt to changing demand, and ensure your network remains lean, resilient, and responsive.
What You Gain with NAL
• Cost Savings — About 12% or higher in freight cost reductions, lower fuel spend, reduced inventory holding costs
• Faster & More Reliable Deliveries — Shorter transit times, better on-time performance, improved consistency
• Higher Visibility & Predictability — Real-time tracking, predictive tools for delays or disruptions
• Greater Scalability & Flexibility — Network designs that can scale up, adapt to seasonal variation or new markets
• Sustainability — More efficient routes reduce carbon emissions; better resource utilization
Industries & Use Cases
Whether you’re in retail, manufacturing, food & beverage, automotive, or cross-border trade, we understand the unique constraints and opportunities in your sector. For example:
• Perishable goods needing cold chain routing
• Omnichannel retail with both store and direct-to-consumer fulfilment
• Heavy or oversized freight requiring specialized carrier networks
Overcoming Common Hurdles
Challenge
Our Solution
Poor Quality Data
We assist in assembling, cleaning, validating your data; employ estimation or benchmarking where needed.
Resistance to Change
We include key stakeholders in design; run pilot initiatives; measure and communicate wins early.
Infrastructure or Location Constraints
We evaluate facility locations, partner with third-party warehouses, leverage cross-docks to reduce transit.
Unpredictable Demand or Seasonality
Build flexible capacity; run scenario planning for peak vs off-peak; modular network designs.
1. How long does the typical optimization project take?
Depending on scale and complexity, from as little as 8-12 weeks for small networks to 4-6 months for enterprise-scale end-to-end redesigns.
2. What data do you need from us?
Complete door-to-door shipping data, ideally covering 90 days, including origin and destination locations, pallet count, weight, pickup/delivery dates, and freight spend details.
3. Will we need to change carriers or warehouses?
Not always. Sometimes the optimization involves better use of existing assets. But in many cases, to achieve significant gains, adjustments to facility placement, transportation lanes, or carrier partners are considered.
4. What is the typical r.o.i.?
There’s no upfront investment required, only a small time commitment from your team. We handle the heavy lifting to deliver results quickly. Most program launches are completed in less than 30 days, with measurable improvements seen within the first month. On average, clients experience 12% or greater savings on their total supply chain costs.
