When control turns into results.

01 · Problem

Growing logistics cost on Asia–Europe lanes, with several forwarders and no comparative view of their rates or performance.

02 · Analysis

Rate and invoice audit by lane, volume and line item, normalising charges so providers could be compared on the same basis.

03 · Intervention

Framework contract renegotiation backed by the audit data, plus a selective change of transport mode on lanes where the saving justified the lead time.

04 · Result

−22% annual logistics cost, sustained after 12 months of monitoring with monthly measurement.

01 · Problem

Inherited tariff classification, never reviewed, across six product families, with doubts over whether the heading used was correct.

02 · Analysis

TARIC review of each family against the real composition and use of the product, using the supplier’s technical documentation.

03 · Intervention

Documented reclassification and filing of the corresponding amendment before the customs administration.

04 · Result

€74,000 between future savings and the partial refund of duties paid over the previous three financial years.

01 · Problem

A 40-day average lead time from order confirmation to warehouse receipt, with recurring stockouts.

02 · Analysis

Measurement of the real time consumed at each stage of the purchase and transport process to locate where the days were being lost.

03 · Intervention

Redesign of the purchasing process, load consolidation and INCOTERM change with key suppliers.

04 · Result

A 12-day average lead time, measured over the same series of orders and stages as the baseline.
