 Consulog assisted project leaders and provided subject matter specialists The project involved cross-functional teams We operated under an extremely aggressive timetable for the implementation so as not to jeopardize the operation’s busy season. As such, the entire implementation had to go live within six months. This project involved 40 project team members from the LSP, two major software vendors, multiple technology vendors / providers, over four hundred and fifty business users, and many suppliers. 

The complex process was managed and delivered on time and on budget. The result was significant efficiency and cost saving, achieving operational and financial control and positioned the LSP for rapid growth in the ensuing years.

A domestic 3PL had a series of IT initiatives that were bogged down and delayed. The initiatives included a FM rollout, a TMS initiative, and several operational and sales projects. 

Consulog was engaged to assess and provide recommendations such that all stakeholders were aligned and committed and priorities and goals established. 

Subsequently, Consulog provided tactical leadership to both management and IT stakeholders. The initiatives were infused with new life and better direction, and accomplished ahead of schedule.

A nationwide IMC with regional dray operations operated with two disconnected systems. The IMC entity accounted for 65% of the dray operation’s moves. However, for many years the two entities’ IT was silo’d. The organization struggled getting traction. 

Consulog was asked to team with management and staff develop a plan to integrate the systems both operationally and financially. 

Consulog facilitated both strategic and operational IT plans along with qualitive and quantitative milestone measurements. The project resulted in timely elimination of redundancies and efficiencies which had plagued the organization for years prior.

A rapidly growing LSP had a need to better manage capacity and yield. The organization grew through acquisition and organic growth. The in-house IT team was primarily familiar only with non-asset-based operations. 

Consulog was retained to provide subject matter expertise in all areas of the operation and translate business need to actionable IT initiatives.

Consulog's initiatives delivered higher capacity utiization and higher yield.
