Supply chain management solutions

Focused supply chain solutions from a group that gets it done


With labor shortages, manufacturing and distribution challenges, port delays, trade wars, regulatory hurdles, and ethical considerations, it’s hard to imagine anything more volatile than your supply chain.

Disruption is here to stay, yet efficiency is still expected. To achieve the right balance, you need a team that looks at these challenges as opportunities. We support companies like yours with 60-plus functional solutions spanning four primary phases of supply chain management.

Strategy & planning

Support development of effective supply chain strategies aimed at improving performance and resiliency, while implementing improved tactical supply chain planning best-practices.

Supply base management

Leverage supply base selection, negotiations, and risk management practices to help lower costs, enhance performance, and improve your company’s risk profile.

Transformation

Improve internal systems of interconnected supply chain elements that transform goods and services into saleable products within the four walls of your operations or build site.

Distribution, warehousing, & logistics

Optimize processes and technology across all aspects of your inbound and outbound supply chain management, especially when demand exceeds supply in high-growth situations.

We believe in taking bold steps with supply chain strategy


Staying ahead of supply chain disruptions requires deep understanding of what’s going on with every link in the chain. Supply chain visibility management and optimization affords you an in-depth perspective – giving you the power to act accordingly.

Supply chain visibility

Negotiating with suppliers, optimizing freight costs, and transforming team performance is what we do – with strategic sourcing designed to control spending, spot price trends, identify sourcing gaps, and plug holes where profits could be escaping.

Strategic sourcing

Knowing what tax strategies are best for your business can be complicated, especially considering customs and global trade implications that differ by business sector and location. Our team’s big-picture approach can help you make sense of it all.

Customs & global trade

Whether it’s conflict minerals management, human trafficking, product chemical compliance, or due diligence and procurement, our supply chain team can help create, define, and execute a customized approach for your compliance needs and goals.
