Streamlining Your Supply Chain for a Smarter Tomorrow

We help industry leaders accelerate sustainable and inclusive growth, focusing on long-term sustainability that safeguards the connections we rely on most.

The global economy depends on connection – fluid channels through which people and goods move across skies, roads, rails, oceans, and waterways with speed, safety, and efficiency. The growing sophistication and complexity of the travel, logistics, and infrastructure sectors has helped to fuel global economic growth, but it has also revealed vulnerabilities.

The Industrial Challenges

The Covid-19 pandemic not only strained global logistics and freight delivery systems, it underscored how critical they are—and, to some extent, how vulnerable. Even before the pandemic hit, companies were mapping new strategies to cope with labor shortages, fluctuating fuel prices, disruptive competitors, sustainability concerns, regulatory demands, and many other challenges. The pandemic amplified the urgency around all these issues, ushering in a new normal that has yet to normalize. Industry leaders today face unprecedented challenges brought on by rapidly evolving technologies, an unforeseen pandemic, and an increased responsibility to keep our vital supply chains operational.

We bring a deep understanding of how the travel, logistics, and infrastructure sectors work, and our extensive experience, advanced analytics, and unparalleled network of experts gives us a unique ability to turn threats into opportunities. Our experience in this highly fragmented industry is both broad and deep: Our freight and logistics consultants work with companies in every sub-sector, including express, parcel and postal services, trucking, 3PL, rail, transport infrastructure, ocean shipping, and distribution, to enhance every facet of operations and find opportunities for growth and superior performance.
