Start with one bounded problem.
We work with two kinds of buyer: the operators who run supply chains, from lane networks to fulfillment floors, and the investors who buy them. Both hire us for the same thing, a defensible number on what is leaking and what it is worth to fix.
You own the margin line. Idle capacity and frontline turnover are the two biggest leaks, whether the asset is a trailer or a dock door, and both are decided by how the operation is designed rather than by how hard the team works.
Carriers, fleets, 3PLs, brokers, shippers, and the fulfillment and warehouse teams that move the same goods.
“Show me whether there is anything here worth chasing, before I commit budget.”
A short read on where your operation is likely leaking, what looks restructurable, and what a full assessment would go after. Enough to decide whether to go further.
“Find the margin I am losing to empty miles and turnover, and tell me exactly which lanes to restructure.”
Every lane ranked by empty-mile rate and fully loaded cost, the lanes with the bilateral density to support closed-loop corridors, relay points positioned against return-origin density, domiciles aligned, and a lane-level view of which routes are manufacturing driver exits. Delivered as a prioritised roadmap with the recovery modelled in dollars.
“Tell me why throughput caps out where it does, and what it costs me.”
Where the constraint actually sits across receiving, pick, pack, and ship, what each hour of it costs, how much of the gap is labour churn rather than process, and the sequence of changes that moves the number. Built from the data your WMS already records.
“Keep watching the numbers with me and tell me when something moves.”
Ongoing performance and retention monitoring, benchmarking against the operators we measure, and a standing line to the team that ran your assessment.
Standard diligence prices fleet age, customer concentration, and lane economics. It almost never prices workforce instability or structural empty miles, which is where the hidden liability and the unpriced upside both sit.
Private equity, independent sponsors, search funds, and corporate development teams.
“Do not let me overpay, and show me the margin I can recover after close.”
A retention- and deadhead-adjusted view of EBITDA: per-driver replacement cost as a share of revenue, turnover and empty miles decomposed by lane, the gap between hire-time promises and operational reality, and a modelled recovery path. Delivered as a diligence appendix your IC can lean on, built from public benchmarks so every number is auditable.
“We own it now. Tell us what to do first, and what it is worth.”
The diligence findings turned into a sequenced operating plan: which lanes to restructure in what order, what each move is worth, and how to instrument the result so the gain is attributable.
Segment benchmarks on retention and utilization.
What your systems already capture, and what is missing to answer the question.
Every engagement is scoped and quoted against your network. The snapshot is the easiest way in: it costs nothing and tells you whether the rest is worth doing.
