Network Design
Support in designing and optimising logistics networks is one of our core areas of expertise, built on many years of hands-on experience gained at leading retail players and logistics operators. This gives us a unique perspective that enables us to effectively support companies that expect the highest quality of service, increased operational efficiency, and real cost optimisation across the entire supply chain.
Our experience and competencies include:
- Design and development of cross-dock networks We design modern cross-dock centres that enable fast and efficient transshipment of goods, minimising downtime and storage time. This solution provides flexibility and dynamic supply chain management, particularly in segments with high demand volatility.
- FTL and LTL transport optimisation We implement comprehensive full-truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) transport management strategies that maximise fleet utilisation and reduce empty miles. We optimise routes, schedules, and loads, resulting in significant cost savings and improved delivery reliability.
- Last-mile distribution management We design and optimise delivery networks to points of sale (traditional stores, drugstores, and e-commerce channels), where speed, flexibility, and high-quality order fulfilment directly to end customers are critical.
- Freight forwarding and supply chain management We support clients in planning and executing comprehensive freight forwarding services, integrating transport processes with warehousing and documentation management. Our experience enables effective negotiation of transport terms, risk management, and real-time shipment monitoring.
What sets our approach apart?
- Broad operational and strategic experience – thanks to holding key positions in retail, 3PL, and freight forwarding sectors, we understand every link in the supply chain and their interdependencies.
- Tailor-made, individual solutions – we thoroughly analyse the client’s business specifics and expectations, delivering operational models and technologies perfectly suited to their needs.
- Advanced analytics and data-driven decision making
- Strong focus on quality and cost optimisation – we combine the highest service standards with continuous efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
The results of working with us:
- Significant reduction in transport and freight costs
- Greater flexibility and faster response to market changes
- Improved delivery quality and on-time performance, leading to higher end-customer satisfaction
- Development of scalable, resilient, and future-proof logistics networks
We invite companies looking to develop their transport and freight operations based on proven methodologies, a strategic approach, and the latest technologies to collaborate with us.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What exactly is transport cost optimisation?
Transport cost optimisation is much more than just reducing rates. It is strategic supply chain management that includes comprehensive optimisation of logistics processes, efficient transport network design, and detailed FTL and LTL optimisation. The goal is to permanently increase efficiency and achieve real cost reduction while maintaining the highest service quality.
What specific benefits will transport cost optimisation bring to my company?
The main benefit is a significant cost reduction, often ranging from 10% to 25% annually. In addition to measurable financial savings, our clients gain:
- Higher efficiency and fewer empty miles thanks to FTL and LTL optimisation.
- Improved on-time delivery performance, especially in last-mile distribution crucial for e-commerce.
- Greater operational flexibility and resilience through better supply chain management.
- Full data transparency, enabling informed business decisions.
How does the logistics process optimisation work step by step?
Our approach is always tailored to the client, but it typically consists of four key stages:
- Audit and Data Analysis We start with an in-depth audit, collecting data about your current operations.
- Identification of Optimisation Areas Based on the analysis, we pinpoint the areas with the greatest potential (e.g. transport network design, vehicle routing).
- Development and Recommendation of Solutions We create a concrete action plan that includes comprehensive optimisation of logistics processes.
- Implementation Support and Monitoring We assist in implementing the changes and continuously monitor the results to ensure that transport cost optimisation delivers the expected outcomes.
What areas are analysed during a logistics audit?
Our audit is the foundation of effective transport cost optimisation. We analyse the key elements of your operations, including:
- Comprehensive optimisation of logistics processes at every stage.
- Current structure and design of the transport network, including hub locations.
- Efficiency of supply chain management and cooperation with subcontractors.
- Detailed FTL and LTL optimisation (full-truckload and less-than-truckload shipments).
- Performance of last-mile distribution processes.
When can I expect the first savings?
The first effects of implementing logistics process optimisation, so-called “quick wins”, are often visible within the first 1–3 months. The full savings potential and ROI from more advanced changes (e.g. new transport network design) are typically achieved within 6–12 months.
Are your services intended only for large companies?
Definitely not. The principles of effective supply chain management and transport cost optimisation apply to companies of any size. We always scale our solutions to the client’s needs and capabilities – regardless of whether the main challenge is FTL and LTL optimisation or last-mile distribution.
How can I start cooperation to reduce transport costs in my company?
It’s very simple. Contact us by email or phone. During a no-obligation call, we will get to know the specifics of your company and assess the potential for effective transport cost optimisation and improvement of your logistics processes.
