IndustriesLogistics and supply chain
Financial strategy for businesses that move goods
We help carriers, warehouse operators and distributors price their services, plan capacity and invest in fleets and facilities with clear returns.
Talk to us about pricing, capacity or an acquisition.
Who we work with
Logistics runs on thin margins, heavy assets and demand that shifts with the economy. The questions change as a network grows, so we start with where you are.
Lane and customer profitability, fuel and labour cost scenarios, and the case for fleet expansion or renewal.
Cost-to-serve by client, contract pricing, and capacity and automation investments.
Working capital and network decisions, valuation, and diligence ahead of an investment or acquisition.
Decisions we support
Each one links to the practice that handles it, so you can go from the question in front of you to how we answer it.
Pricing contracts and lanes
Pricing built on true cost-to-serve by customer, lane and service, so volume adds to profit.
Investing in fleet, facilities or automation
Comparing investments on return, payback and risk before committing capital.
Protecting margin from fuel and currency swings
Understanding exposure to fuel, currency and rates, and the options for managing it.
Freeing up working capital
Managing receivables, payables and inventory so growth does not outrun cash.
Growing through acquisition
Screening targets, valuation, and diligence and integration planning through to close.
Rethinking the model
Reshaping services, pricing and asset mix when the market shifts.
Our perspective
Volume only adds to profit when every lane, customer and contract is priced on its true cost to serve.
We build cost-to-serve by customer and lane, and test fleet and facility investments on return and payback, so growth adds margin as well as volume.
Selected work
From pricing and capital planning to acquisitions, our selected work shows the range of companies we serve and the decisions we help them make.
The firm
Engagements are principal-led and staffed to the work, drawing on our network of legal, tax and audit partners where a scope requires it.
Many of our relationships continue well beyond the first mandate, as fractional controller or CFO, as research partner, or as adviser on the next raise or transaction.
Questions
Yes. We allocate fleet, labour, facility and overhead costs to customers, lanes and services, so you can see which accounts make money and reprice or restructure the ones that do not.
Yes. We compare leasing and buying fleet or facilities on total cost, cash flow and flexibility, including the financing available to you.
No. We are based in Vancouver and work with companies across Canada and internationally.
It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with deliverables, timing and fees, so you know the cost before any work begins.
