Consulting
We give advice in a competent, neutral and independent way to issues concerning transport logistics requiring a quantitative basis for a specific decision. Our clients benefit from our experience and from efficient optimization methods that we apply in our planning tools.
In general, our consulting approach is team-oriented. We appreciate a trustful and cooperative partnership with our clients.
Industry and Trade
Forwarders profit from our analyses dealing with the strategic design of the supply chain, from precise comparisons of the service provider's offerings, as well as from calculations of synergies emerging at cooperations and mergers.
Logistics service providers
Transport companies like general cargo forwarders and parcel services optimize their structures and processes on the basis of our analyses. That includes site planning, shipment structure analyses of potential clients, tender calculations and territory optimizations.
Consulting companies
Several prestigious consultancies expand their range of services with our specific logistics knowledge which can be seamlessly embedded as a module into superior consulting projects.
Projects
A variety of the tasks applied in our consulting projects:
Site planning
Determination of the number, geographical location, function, capacity and assortment of sites
Network design
Optimization and expansion of already existing and recently created logistic systems for forwarder, trade and transport companies
Supply chain optimization
Vehicle routing
Analysis and optimization of short-distance routes, vehicle fleet configuration and territory planning for transport operators
The optimization of supply chains includes the design of logistic structures, the definiton of sites and their functionality (production, storage, handling) as well as the planning of transport and warehouse processes.
Since 1989 we conduct studies to special areas of supply chain optimization and distribution planning. In these studies we usually derive quantitative KPIs from original shipment data (e.g. delivery notes of one year), optimize logistic structures and develop and evaluate alternative networks.
Our key tool is the software system PRODISI (SCO, CEP, LSP or RET, depending on the type of network), that is precisely adjusted to the corresponding logistic network and afterwards can be used by our clients for their own controlling and planning purposes.
