Operations due diligence for Investors
Operation, Risk and Upside
Supply chain and logistics are often the largest controllable value drivers in a business. However., they are still widely misunderstood in transactions. Financial, legal, and commercial diligence are standard. True operational diligence is often shallow, late, or missing altogether.
That creates real risk and leaves real money on the table.
Across industries, many companies still have 10–20% untapped cost improvement potential. When unlocked, that can translate into major EBITDA and cash-flow impact. But if logistics costs, scalability limits, network constraints, or inventory exposure are misread, valuations, synergies, and returns get distorted fast
​​
Pragmatic Focus
Fix Logistix supports private equity, hedge funds, and M&A advisors with deep, hands-on supply chain and logistics expertise that complements financial and commercial diligence.
​
We focus on the operating levers that most directly drive EBITDA, cash flow, service levels, and scalability:
-
Network & Footprint: Is the footprint efficient, flexible, and properly scaled?
-
Warehousing & Fulfillment: Productivity, labor models, throughput, and service reliability.
-
Transportation & Distribution: Cost-to-serve, carrier strategy, parcel exposure, and freight risk.
-
Inventory & Working Capital: Stock levels, turns, forecasting quality, and cash tied up in operations.
-
Technology (WMS, TMS, OMS): What the systems really do versus what workarounds hide.
-
Synergies & Risk: What upside is real, how fast it can be captured, and what risks threaten integration.
The result is a grounded view of what’s real, what’s possible, and what’s at risk.

Evaluating 3PLs & Logistics Technology
Support for Investors Evaluating 3PLs
Many 3PLs look healthy on the surface but hide structural issues that don’t show up cleanly in data rooms. Underpriced contracts, wage-driven margin erosion, weak productivity controls, outdated processes, and risky customer mix quietly destroy EBITDA.
​
As former operators and active 3PL advisors, Fix Logistix quickly cuts through the noise. We validate:
-
True pricing and cost-to-serve
-
Labor productivity and operating discipline
-
WMS/TMS utilization
-
Contract and customer risk
-
Leadership depth and execution maturity
This gives investors an early, honest view of downside risk and real value-creation levers.

Support for Logistics & Supply Chain Technology Investments
​Where there is logistics, there is technology and logistics tech remains a hot investment category. Fueled by the AI hype, investors are eager to participate but often need an operator’s grounded, hype sceptic perspective to distinguish real, deployable effectiveness from marketing hype.
Leveraging our experience with Logistics Technology, we help PE teams understand what truly works in practice versus what simply sounds good in a pitch deck. Our operator lens brings realism to platform capabilities, integration risk, customer adoption, and true ROI.
Phased Private Equity ODD Approach
Phase 1 – Alignment & Discovery (1–5 Days)
We align with the deal team on the investment thesis, data availability, and critical risk areas.
Output: Initial findings summary and diligence roadmap.
​
Phase 2 – Operations Due Diligence (1–3 Weeks)
We build a true baseline across costs, scalability, risks, and synergies.
Findings are structured by risk, reward, payback, and execution difficulty to support IC decisions.
Phase 3 – Post-Close Value Creation (Optional)
Many investors retain us post-close to help execute the plan—network changes, 3PL transitions, cost resets, technology rollouts, and operational stabilization.
