What is Supply Chain Consulting?
Supply chain consulting is the strategic process of analyzing, optimizing, and improving an organization’s logistics and transportation operations. Businesses rely on expert consultants to identify inefficiencies, reduce costs, and streamline processes across their supply chain. From freight management to data-driven decision-making, supply chain consulting helps companies enhance their logistics operations and achieve long-term sustainability.
