The challenge

Common logistics challenges Terra Advisory Group can help solve

Logistics cost leakage

A lack of a transportation sourcing strategy causes freight dollar leakage, such as higher-than-market rates, lack of mode optimization, excess accessorial fees and underutilized container capacity.

Track & trace

Fragmented systems limit real-time order visibility and related decision-making to meet service levels, creating disruptions and adding cost.

Network design

Poor network design, redundant DC locations and limited inventory controls can create excessive transportation and warehouse spend.

Tax & trade compliance

Customs, duties, trade documentation and compliance complexity can erode service and margin.

Services

From assessment to strategy design to execution

Multiple service offerings that help turn diagnostic insights into operating capability.

01

Network strategy / global tax & trade optimization

Conduct network strategy analysis to optimize DC footprint and flows, improve inventory flows and controls, and explore opportunities to improve global tax and trade compliance.
02

Strategic sourcing & transportation optimization

Provide strategic transportation sourcing across modes (FTL, LTL, rail, ocean) to secure the best rates, capacity and contract terms; explore strategic backhauls and mode optimization opportunities.
03

Warehouse & 3PL performance management

Optimize your warehouse capacity, layout, design and levels of automation; incorporate a 3PL performance management framework, including gain-share arrangements and vendor KPI scorecards.

Customer order fulfillment

05

Logistics technology & AI enablement assessments

Perform TMS and WMS diagnostics that gauge integration levels, business rules, process maturity and reporting capabilities, and identify opportunities to leverage AI to maximize value from technology.

Fleet optimization

Perform analysis to optimize your private fleet across the entire lifecycle, including acquisition, repair and maintenance, utilization, routing and disposition.
