Expertise
I help companies reduce logistics cost and improve delivery performance by improving transportation, fulfillment, and the business decisions that increase freight cost. My work focuses on transportation and logistics operations, with a practical understanding of how inventory levels, order patterns, and warehouse networks affect service and cost.
Reducing Transportation Cost for a Leading CPG Company
A leading CPG company was facing rising transportation costs and margin pressure. I analyzed shipment patterns, carrier setup, and inventory flows to uncover the main cost drivers, then recommended shipment consolidation, freight auditing, and stronger contract discipline. The result was a 12% reduction in transportation costs.
Improving Fulfillment and Reducing Last-Mile Freight Cost for a Leading Large-Format Retail Business
A leading large-format retail business faced rising last-mile freight cost and pressure to deliver faster during rapid e-commerce growth. I analyzed fulfillment rules, carrier charges, and delivery performance to identify the main cost drivers. Recommendations included improving ship-from logic, optimizing fulfillment center use, and focusing contract negotiations on key surcharges. The result was a 7% year-over-year reduction in last-mile freight cost.
