About Us
Global Logistics & Transport Consulting was founded in 2000 with the intent of assisting BCO’s, ocean carriers, 3-PL’s and NVO’s with issues requiring knowledge and expertise in logistics and transportation.
During the past 17 years, we have provided that to over thirty clients, from short term analysis and assessments to two-year assignments to totally revamp an international logistics process. From consolidation of nine warehousing facilities to three to better service clients at lower costs, to the procurement of ocean carrier services for a 50,000 TEU a year NVO. Revamping the procurement process for a moderately sized 3-PL who used only air freight, resulting in a 28% reduction in costs for major projects. And taking 18 months to clearly re-define a packaging and warehouse solution for the burgeoning resin markets with extraordinary results for the investors.
The key to our success is first and foremost, listening to the clients describe their issues, determining their objectives and using experience based knowledge to achieve those objectives. We don’t have one size fits all solutions, we don’t have solutions looking for problems. We have experience and knowledge allowing us to assess each client’s specific requirements and finding the best solution to their stated needs.
Our experiences include multiple decades of senior management assignments at some of the best known and respected companies in their industry. Our resources bring exceptional knowledge based on years of success at the highest levels and are used to bring success in the form of efficiencies and effectiveness in the logistics and transportation areas.
Years of success in accomplishing goals and objectives, set by and for our clients.
