Logistics & Supply Chain
A wider review of your logistics operations and supply-chain workflows to identify practical efficiency and control improvements — from an initial Review through to full implementation support, scoped to your operation.
Logistics & Supply Chain Review
Supply Chain Optimisation Implementation
Grounded in Your Operations
Recommendations are based on a direct review of your own workflows and data — not a fixed methodology applied regardless of how your operation actually runs.
Where This Can Help
Reviewing operational and process workflows across your supply chain.
Assessing import/export and international shipping processes.
Improving SOP documentation, KPI and management reporting.
Areas We Can Review
Who It’s For
This service is for logistics and supply-chain operators — typically SME businesses — who want a structured, evidence-based review of how their operations actually run, not just a narrow look at freight costs. It’s a good fit if you’re dealing with limited process visibility, inconsistent SOPs, unclear KPI or management reporting, or carrier/supplier performance you can’t easily measure.
If your primary concern is specifically what you’re paying for freight and carrier services, the more targeted Freight Cost & Spend Audit may be a better starting point. You can also browse all ADB services to see how this fits alongside other engagements.
How It Works
- Initial Conversation — a free, no-obligation call to understand your logistics operation, your current pain points, and whether a Logistics & Supply Chain Review is the right starting point
- Scoping — the Review is scoped to the areas most relevant to your operation, for example process visibility, SOP documentation, KPI and management reporting, import/export processes, or carrier/supplier performance
- Review — your current operations, documentation and reporting are examined against practical, experience-based improvement criteria
- Findings & Recommendations — a clear, written set of findings and prioritised, practical recommendations, scoped to your actual operation
- Optional Implementation — if you’d like hands-on support putting the recommendations into practice, the separate Supply Chain Optimisation Implementation engagement picks up where the Review leaves off
Every Review is scoped individually around your actual operations — no specific outcomes are guaranteed in advance.
What’s Outside This Review
This Review focuses on your logistics operations and supply-chain workflows. It does not include:
- Software procurement, custom system builds, or IT integration work
- Specific percentage-savings or efficiency-gain commitments made in advance
- Warehouse layout or engineering design work
- Physical site works or installation
- Legal, customs-broker, or regulatory-compliance sign-off
Where a genuine legal or compliance question arises, referral to an appropriately qualified specialist is recommended rather than ADB providing that advice directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Logistics & Supply Chain Review take?
Timelines are agreed individually during scoping, based on the size and complexity of your operation and which areas are being reviewed.
Do I need to implement the recommendations through ADB?
No. The Review stands on its own as a set of findings and recommendations you can act on with your own team or other providers. The optional Implementation engagement is available if you’d like hands-on support, but it isn’t required.
What information will I need to provide?
This depends on which areas of your operation are being reviewed — for example, SOP documentation, KPI reports, or details of your carrier/supplier relationships. This is agreed upfront during scoping, so there are no surprises partway through.
Is this review right for a smaller operation?
The Review is scoped to your operation, whatever its size. If a full Review isn’t the right starting point yet, the self-serve Supply Chain Health-Check Self-Assessment Toolkit in the Shop is a lower-cost alternative.
What’s the difference between this Review and the Freight Cost & Spend Audit?
The Freight Cost & Spend Audit focuses specifically on freight, transport and warehouse spend. The Logistics & Supply Chain Review takes a wider view of operational and process workflows — SOPs, KPI reporting, import/export processes and carrier/supplier performance. Many clients start with the Freight Cost & Spend Audit to establish cost visibility, then move to a Supply Chain Review — get in touch to discuss which is the right starting point for your business.
How is pricing worked out for a Logistics & Supply Chain Review?
Pricing is quoted individually based on the size and complexity of your operation and the areas being reviewed, agreed with you before any work begins — there is no fixed list price for this service, unlike the Freight Cost & Spend Audit.
Is this review independent, or do you have any ties to particular carriers or suppliers?
ADB has no commission, referral, or reseller arrangements with any carrier, supplier, or software vendor. Recommendations are based solely on what best fits your operation.
What happens after I get in touch?
You will hear back to arrange a free, no-obligation initial conversation to discuss your operation and agree scope and pricing before any paid work begins.
How an Engagement Starts
- Enquiry — you get in touch via the contact form, email or phone with a brief description of what you’re looking for
- Initial Conversation — a free, no-obligation call to understand your operation and whether this service is the right fit
- Written Scope/Proposal — if it’s a good fit, you receive a written scope and proposal covering what’s included, timing, and fees
- Approval — work begins once you’ve reviewed and approved the scope and fees — nothing starts before that
- Delivery — the engagement is delivered as scoped, with findings and recommendations provided in writing
Not every enquiry is a good fit, and that’s fine — the initial conversation exists to establish suitability honestly before any scope or fee is proposed.
