Network Design

We bring quantitative rigor to every layer of your logistics network, from strategic footprint to operational flows.

Footprint analysis: which plants, DCs, cross-docks, and hubs you really need

Optimal flows: who should supply whom, at what frequency, with which modes, including consolidation hubs

Capacity and service trade-offs: what it truly costs to keep a 98–99% service level

True landed cost per customer, channel, and SKU

Segmenting customers and products by profitability, not volume or 'gut feel'

Clear decisions: which customers, lanes, and SKUs to grow, fix, or exit

Strategic sourcing: scenario modeling across suppliers, geographies, and contract types

DC network rightsizing: consolidate, relocate, or add micro-fulfillment where it pays off

Inventory placement: how much to hold, where, and in which form (FG, WIP, components)

Multi-tier networks with strict quality, lead time, and regulatory constraints

Balancing cost with service and compliance: cold chain, controlled substances, serialization

Demand volatility and promo spikes modeled into capacity and inventory plans

SKU rationalization using real cost-to-serve

Commodity trading is about timing, location, and optionality. We bring quantitative rigor to those decisions.

Which terminal or supplier should you buy from, given price, freight, quality, and flexibility?

Where should you land LNG/LPG to maximize netback, considering shipping, storage, and regas?

How do you value flexibility clauses and shipping options mathematically, not intuitively?

Trade off between longer routes vs better purchasing price

Vessel routing and scheduling, laycan optimization, and demurrage minimization

Storage and regas capacity allocation across geographies and portfolios

Scenario planning across price curves, demand patterns, and disruptions

A beautifully optimized network on paper does not automatically fix day-to-day carrier decisions, routes execution, load building, tendering, and freight audit issues. That's where your Transportation Management System (TMS) comes in. Your network design defines what 'good' looks like. Your TMS makes it real every single day.
