your biggest profit lever

Your supply chain may well be the biggest profit lever you can control. For most companies, the supply chain represents 10–20% of revenue. Yet it remains one of the least optimized parts of the business. A targeted 10–20% improvement in this area can increase net profit by 30% to 100%, without any additional sales. Few other levers offer this level of upside with comparable speed and risk.

However, running a supply chain today is hard. Costs are up, networks are stretched, customer expectations keep rising, and small issues have a way of snowballing into big problems. Many management teams feel something is “off,” but don’t have the time, bandwidth, or data clarity to pinpoint what’s really happening.

As a result, based on multiple surveys, only about a quarter of companies are true supply-chain leaders with a “tuned” supply chain boasting advanced planning, solid network design, good 3PL/carrier management and decent data. The rest still have double-digit cost-improvement headroom, with a meaningful share sitting in the ‘seriously under-optimized’ bucket.

Common supply chain challenges

So where does it all go wrong?

Most brands, manufacturers, and distributors come to us because they’re experiencing one or more of these challenges:

Rising logistics and freight costs with no clear explanation
Inventory levels creeping up while service levels go down
Too many manual processes or workarounds in WMS/ERP
Operational chaos during peak or promotional periods
Throughput limits, space constraints, or layout bottlenecks
Slow receiving, inaccurate inventory, or fulfillment delays
Concerns that current 3PL or internal warehouse performance is not competitive
Leadership needs a clear, objective picture before making decisions

You’re not alone—these are extremely common issues. If something feels harder than it should be, it probably is.

Fix Logistix Supply Chain Review

Fix Logistix helps companies identify and quantify improvement opportunities across the entire operation and make them visible, understandable, and actionable.

We’re operators turned consultants. We’ve run warehouses, managed transportation networks, fixed broken processes, survived peak seasons, and built logistics operations from the ground up. We know what efficient looks like and what it feels like when things aren’t running as they should. Our goal is simple. We help you understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what you can do about it, practically, quickly, and without overwhelming your team.

Our Supply Chain Review uses a proven but flexible methodology that adapts to each company’s reality. We establish true cost-to-serve baselines, benchmark them against industry best practices, and highlight where the biggest gains are hiding.

We then translate this into clear, practical recommendations, prioritized by impact, risk, and level of operational disruption. As former operators, we focus on pragmatic solutions and quick wins that improve performance without compromising service or stability.

Companies rely on us because our approach cuts through organizational complexity, data challenges, and hesitation. Especially before or after big moments like acquisitions, mergers, divestments, or the launch of new sales channels and major accounts.

What You Get From a Fix Logistix Supply Chain Review

We focus on the operational levers that matter most. Our work gives you a clear, structured understanding of five core areas (the "Big Five"): Warehousing, Transportation, Inventory, Network footprint and Processes (Systems). By examining these dimensions together, we uncover where costs originate, how the network truly behaves, and what practical improvements, ranging from quick wins to structural changes, will strengthen service, resilience, and financial performance.

Warehousing & Fulfillment

Assessing your own and 3rd party warehouses

. Reviewing the following items: - Productivity (receiving, picking, packing, replenishment) - Layout and space utilization - Labor model and team structure - Slotting and material flow - WMS setup and gaps - Causes of delays, errors, and rework - Agreements

Transportation & Distribution

Assessing your own and 3rd carriers in- & outbound

. Reviewing the following items: - Carrier mix and rate competitiveness -Parcel, LTL, FTL, air, and ocean cost drivers - Routing, consolidation, and mode selection - End-to-end cost-to-serve - Carrier Management - Rate shopping

Inventory & Working Capital

Assessing your inventory position and management

. Reviewing the following items: - Stock levels and aging - Forecasting and replenishment gaps - Safety stock policy - Cycle counting and inventory accuracy

Network & 3PL Footprint

Assessing your Ntwork and impact on service and (transport) costs to serve.

. Reviewing the following items: - Where operations are and should be located. - Center of Gravity Analysis - Scalability and capacity constraints - Options to consolidate, relocate, or rebalance volumes

Systems & Process Maturity

Evaluate your "tech stack" and how it is utilized

. Reviewing the following items: - WMS, TMS, OMS configuration - Utilization, manual workarounds and hidden inefficiencies. - Data accuracy and reporting gaps - Opportunities for improvement without expensive overhauls.

Data Collection and Processing

Collecting the right data is one of the biggest challenges in any supply chain review. Critical information is scattered across ERP, OMS, WMS, TMS, 3PL portals, and carrier systems, each with different levels of accessibility, granularity, and accuracy. Data gaps, inconsistencies, and formatting issues often make cross-functional analysis difficult.

A core part of our work is identifying exactly which data sets are needed, where they reside, and how to extract them efficiently from both internal teams and external partners. From there, we scrub, normalize, and reconcile the information to build a clean, structured, and internally consistent data model that supports meaningful insight.

It’s easy for companies to get stuck in this stage, but FixLogistix takes a pragmatic approach—balancing data requirements with ease of execution. Most supply chain questions can be analyzed in multiple ways, and our team is skilled at finding the right analytical path based on the data that is available. This practical, flexible methodology ensures we deliver actionable results even when the data environment is less than perfect.

biggest impact

This service is especially valuable when companies are:

growing quickly or adding new sales channels
expanding into new markets or regions
outgrowing their current warehouse or 3PL
recovering from service issues or operational disruptions
struggling with inventory accuracy or availability
transitioning to new leadership or reorganizing operations
planning to implement or upgrade systems (WMS/TMS/ERP)

If your supply chain feels too complex, too expensive, or too unpredictable, a review brings clarity and restores control.

How a Supply Chain Review Works

Phase 1 — Discovery & Alignment

We start by understanding your operation—your network, pain points, constraints, systems, and goals. This includes conversations with leadership and front-line teams, quick data reviews, and high-level performance scans.

Phase 2 — Operational & Data Analysis

We evaluate your warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, inventory, systems, and processes using practical benchmarks, operator experience, and proven methodologies. We identify gaps, hidden costs, bottlenecks, and root causes.

Phase 3 — Recommendations & Roadmap

You receive a clear, prioritized roadmap:

quick wins your team can execute immediately
mid-term improvements that drive measurable performance
longer-term strategic options where needed
We also outline impact ranges, expected effort, and what each step requires.

Optional Support — Implementation & Project Leadership

Many clients ask us to stay involved to help execute changes. This could be redesigning a warehouse, leading a 3PL search, improving WMS configuration, negotiating rates, or implementing new processes.

We stay hands-on and accountable. We don’t disappear after the presentation.
