Overview

Most supply chains weren't built for today's volatility, rising customer expectations, and shifting business models. We help you modernize end to end—combining deep operational and sector expertise with tech-enabled innovation. From planning and logistics transformation to full orchestration, we deliver sustained performance that turns your supply chain into a competitive advantage.

Capabilities

AI-powered orchestration for the intelligent supply chain

Your supply chain generates enormous amounts of data. Most organizations can't act on it fast enough. We change that. Using AI and real-time decision intelligence, we connect planning, inventory, and logistics into a single, responsive system. Teams spot risks earlier, resolve disruptions faster, and shift from reactive firefighting to dynamic orchestration. The result is a more resilient supply chain that accelerates growth and turns complexity into measurable performance.

Advanced planning platforms for intelligent forecasting and execution

Fragmented planning is one of the most expensive problems in supply chain. We fix it. Using o9 Solutions, Kinaxis, and Palantir, we build AI-enabled demand and supply planning that connects forecasts to execution and aligns decisions across functions. Siloed processes give way to a unified digital planning backbone—one that improves service levels, enhances inventory, and accelerates decision-making from weeks to days.

Integrated planning and IBP/S&OP to align demand, supply, and finance

Strategy only works when everyone's operating from the same plan. We help design integrated IBP/S&OP processes that bring demand, supply, and financial plans into alignment through structured cadences, clear governance, and defined roles. Cross-functional teams manage trade-offs in real time and stay anchored to business priorities. The outcome is better forecast reliability, more stable operations, and stronger financial performance.

Supply chain execution platforms for connected warehousing and transportation

Disconnected execution systems cost you speed, visibility, and margin. Using leading WMS and TMS platforms, we modernize warehousing and transportation operations to connect orders, inventory, and shipments in real time. Teams manage throughput, labor, and carrier performance with far greater control. With a digitally-enabled execution environment, you can speed fulfillment, cut costs, and deliver consistent service across your network.

Logistics and transportation transformation

Your logistics network should be a competitive weapon, not a cost center. We redesign networks for lower cost-to-serve and more reliable fulfillment using advanced capabilities in network design, fleet optimization, and route analytics. Reshape your footprint, sharpen your execution model, and respond faster to capacity constraints, cost pressure, and regulatory change—without sacrificing service as you scale.

Warehouse optimization and automation

Rising omnichannel demands require warehouses that work harder and smarter. From layout redesign to robotics and WMS integration, we improve productivity, quality, and asset utilization across your fulfillment operations. DC automation, SKU rationalization, and resilient cloud-native platforms modernize your operations—and reusable delivery models mean future rollouts move faster and perform from day one.

Sector-specific blueprints with digital enablement

We bring prebuilt playbooks for CPG, retail, pharma, tech, and industrials so you're not starting from scratch. We connect core platforms including SAP, Oracle, leading APS tools, OMS, WMS, and TMS, enabling data and decisions to flow across your entire supply chain. The foundation we build together is scalable, integration-ready, and AI-accelerated—designed to capture time-to-value with more speed, less rework, and less risk.

Modular deployments with global accelerators

No two supply chains are identical. Our modular assets and reference architectures meet you at your current maturity level and scales as your needs evolve. Global accelerators—including AI-powered delivery tools and proven operating frameworks—help your teams configure solutions faster and execute with consistency. Deploy across regions and business units without sacrificing the flexibility to adapt as priorities and platforms change.


Use cases

A leading food wholesaler faced growing pressure to scale operations while improving customer service and operational effectiveness. We designed and built a modernized end-to-end supply chain network incorporating multi-echelon efficiencies, DC automation, SKU rationalization, and upgraded planning systems—delivering approximately $300M in operational cost reductions.

A global beverage company struggled with fragmented systems that limited planning agility and scalability. We modernized their planning foundation and deployed o9 Solutions APS, creating an AI-enabled planning environment with a scalable blueprint to support future growth.

A global fashion retailer needed to overhaul fulfillment operations to meet growing omnichannel demands. We implemented a resilient cloud-native WMS platform that streamlined warehouse operations across channels, resulting in a smooth go-live and faster, more reliable delivery.
