BUSINESS LOGISTICS
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
From designing selective warehousing and transport strategies to configuring site networks, optimising logistics operations involves in-depth understanding of transport markets over and above efficient methodology. It requires insight into how procurement and sales work as well as understanding of how regional and globally meshed production networks can be designed to yield flexibility. 
“Progress should mean that we are always changing the world to fit the vision, instead we are always changing the vision.“
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Our role as a bridge has proven to be especially effective in distribution logistics. “Logistics goes Sales & Marketing“ for us does not mean that delivery services are an iron pillar to work around. We prefer to see delivery services as a key dimension to optimise with a view to producing results. The questions to ask in the context are not just: How much will sales grow on the short to medium term if delivery services are gradually scaled up? Against what costs? But also: Will toning down service operations produce better results?

Answers to these questions will emerge only if customers’ reactions are assessed by your Marketing & Sales departments. These answers in turn will help to fine-tune marketing operations and provide the parameters to influence the size structure of consignments positively.


Needless to say, we have at our disposal the entire toolset offered by modern planning methodology. Extraction of mass data and data-driven analyses are as much part of our work as is the deployment of appropriate planning methods ranging from conventional OR approaches to the use of genetic algorithms-based optimisation techniques. It is our conviction that success comes from combining all of the above with two key ingredients: a sure feel for the market and long years of process experience.
Business Logistics at its best!
