Logistics Network Optimization for a Stronger Supply Chain

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.

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.

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).

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.

Our Solution

We assist in assembling, cleaning, validating your data; employ estimation or benchmarking where needed.

We include key stakeholders in design; run pilot initiatives; measure and communicate wins early.

We evaluate facility locations, partner with third-party warehouses, leverage cross-docks to reduce transit.

Build flexible capacity; run scenario planning for peak vs off-peak; modular network designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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.

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.

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.

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.
