I’m looking for a seasoned business consultant to help me shape a clear, data-driven strategy that strengthens the logistics and distribution side of my supply chain. The goal is simple: create a scalable roadmap that trims costs, accelerates delivery times, and boosts customer satisfaction. Here’s what I need from you: • A diagnostic of my current logistics network—routes, carriers, warehouse locations, IT systems (ERP/WMS)—so we both see where the bottlenecks and hidden costs live. • A strategic plan that links inventory positioning, distribution modes, and service-level targets to overall business growth objectives. • A step-by-step implementation timeline highlighting quick wins first, plus KPIs to track progress once the plan is in motion. Your background in strategy and planning, especially for logistics optimisation, supplier coordination, and multi-site distribution, will be key. If you’re comfortable leveraging tools such as Excel modelling, Power BI, or supply-chain suites like SAP or Oracle to back your recommendations with hard numbers, that’s exactly what I’m after. When you reply, please let me know your comparable projects, the frameworks you like to use (e.g., SCOR, Lean, Six Sigma), and how quickly you could deliver the initial diagnostic.

This is exactly the kind of supply-chain strategy work we do at SolutionzHere (logistics optimisation, SAP-backed analytics, multi-site distribution). We’ll run a SCOR + Lean diagnostic, map cost/service gaps, then deliver a data-backed roadmap (Excel/Power BI) with quick wins + KPI framework. Your rate is slightly low for this level—typically €25–40/hr. Initial diagnostic can be done in 5–7 days, full roadmap in 2–3 weeks. We’ve delivered similar cost-reduction + network optimisation programs. One question: how many warehouses/regions and which ERP/WMS are currently in use?

Hi there, It sounds like you are dealing with a common but costly challenge in supply chain operations fragmented logistics data, limited end-to-end visibility, and inefficiencies that only become obvious when delivery performance and costs start slipping. This is very similar to work I have done in agricultural produce supply chains, where operations were initially tracked using Google Sheets and manual logs for shipments and inventory movement across multiple points. The main issue was inconsistent visibility across teams and no reliable way to connect logistics performance to cost and service outcomes. In that case, we transitioned the process into an ERP-driven structure Odoo and SAP environment, which allowed us to centralise: Shipment tracking and dispatch workflows Inventory movement across warehouses and sites Pricing, invoicing, and payment reconciliation End-to-end supply chain reporting and traceability On top of that, we built Power BI dashboards and SQL-based validation models to ensure decisions were based on real operational data rather than assumptions or delayed reporting. I approach supply chain optimisation using a combination of: Lean principles to remove waste in movement, time, and handling and Cost-to-serve analysis to understand profitability by route, product and customer. I am happy to share examples of past work on similar supply chain and ERP-based analytics projects upon request.
