Your logistics needs changed. Have your partners and contracts?

Whether you’re outsourcing for the first time, reevaluating a provider, or consolidating after an acquisition, we define the requirements, run the RFP, and negotiate the deal.

Sometimes the challenge is finding the right logistics partner, or deciding whether to renew, renegotiate, consolidate, or go to market. We help define the need, assess the options, and lead a disciplined sourcing process when an RFP is the right path.

You know the logistics model needs to change. The question is what comes next.

The trigger may be growth, changing requirements, an expiring contract, an acquisition, or a decision to outsource logistics for the first time.

You're outsourcing logistics for the first time.

You need help defining the requirements, finding qualified providers, and running a selection process that sets the relationship up correctly.

Your logistics contracts haven't kept up.

Volumes, lanes, and service requirements have changed. The agreements have not, and nobody has checked whether the structure still fits.

The RFP is too important to run as a side project.

Your team knows the business, but a complex sourcing event needs dedicated resources, provider insight, and process discipline you may not have.

You don’t know whether to renew, renegotiate, or switch providers.

The provider may be performing, but you need a fact-based view of whether the economics and terms still fit the business.

You inherited overlapping providers through an acquisition.

Contracts, providers, and spend have accumulated. There may be an opportunity to consolidate volume and improve commercial leverage.

Define the need. Source the right providers. Negotiate the deal.

Scope depends on the situation. We can lead the full procurement process from requirements through negotiation, or step in where your team needs sourcing, commercial, or process expertise.

Establish the requirements and sourcing strategy.

We clarify the operating model, volumes, service expectations, capabilities, and evaluation criteria before taking the opportunity to market.

Requirements • Scope • Service • Evaluation Criteria

Identify and evaluate the right providers.

We identify qualified providers, manage the RFP, analyze responses, and create a consistent fact base for comparing the options.

Providers • RFP Management • Analytics • Evaluation

Improve the economics without losing the operation.

Firsthand provider and client side experience tells us how pricing, incentives, and terms are structured, so negotiations create stronger value for both sides.

Pricing • SLAs • Terms • Incentives

Set the partnership up to perform.

Once a provider is selected, we translate the agreement into implementation priorities, service expectations, and accountability.

Handoff • Implementation • SLAs • Accountability

The RFP is only as good as what you know to ask, and how you evaluate the answer.

Our team has worked on both sides of major logistics partnerships. That firsthand experience helps us understand how providers build solutions, price risk, make trade-offs, and structure commercial terms, and helps clients ask better questions throughout the sourcing process.

Both sides of the table.

We know the priorities and pressures on both sides, which helps us find the trade-offs and structure solutions that work for both.

Structured evaluation around total value.

We evaluate capability, service, scalability, readiness, strategic fit, and total economics so the decision reflects the full value of the partnership.

Negotiation grounded in provider experience.

Understanding how logistics providers structure pricing, service commitments, incentives, and risk gives us a stronger fact base for commercial negotiations.

Process discipline from start to finish.

We bring the tools, analytics, and project structure to keep complex sourcing events moving on consistent information.

What changes when the right provider and the right deal come together.

Economics

Pricing, incentives, and commercial terms better aligned with your volumes, requirements, and market opportunity.

Service

Provider capabilities, service levels, and operating expectations clearly aligned to what the business actually needs.

Accountability

Clear SLAs, performance measures, responsibilities, and commercial terms that create greater transparency after the contract is signed.

They didn't just manage an RFP. They brought structure to a complex global process and secured terms far beyond our expectations.

Questions we hear about logistics procurement.

"We've never outsourced logistics before. Where do we start?"

Start with the requirements, not the provider list. We define what the operation needs, set the evaluation criteria, identify qualified providers, and build the process around those requirements.

"Do we need a full RFP, or should we renegotiate the current contract?"

Not every situation requires going to market.We look at the relationship, economics, service performance, and terms to determine whether renegotiation, a market test, or a full RFP makes most sense.

"How do you evaluate providers beyond price?"

We look at the whole picture: operational capability, service, scalability, readiness, strategic fit, and total economics. The goal is to identify the provider and solution that delivers the strongest overall value for the business.

"Can you manage a global or multi-region RFP?"

Yes. We structure one process across regions while accounting for local requirements, creating consistent evaluation without forcing every region into the same answer.

Start a conversation Let's find the right partner and make the right deal.

Bring us the first-time outsourcing decision, the contract up for renewal, or the providers you inherited. We’ll recommend the right sourcing approach and the next step.
