Shipping, Logistics & Infrastructure
Shippers have become experts in squeezing costs out of their supply chains, putting significant pressure on their logistics and transportation partners in the process. We work across the supply chain to help shippers achieve sustainable savings, service providers improve scalable profitability, and investors reduce risk. One intermodal transportation company developed a sustainable $35 million EBITDA improvement program. A failing 3PL restructured as an asset-lite business creating a 15% EBITDA improvement. An international ports operator identified and initiated deployment of more than 300 initiatives to generate annual EBITDA improvements of more than $100 million. We help businesses like these across the supply chain deliver results – from the first mile to the last.
