Industry Context

The increasingly-globalized economy is made possible by networks of Logistics & Supply Chain companies, interconnected around the world. Goods are sourced in one geography, manufactured in another and then distributed to consumers, wholesalers and retailers across every geography.  The coordination and optimization of shipping capacity with shipping demands, in service of deadline delivery dates, creates a dizzying array of logistical considerations.  The speed, efficiency and visibility into these activities have become the competitive arena for Logistics & Supply Chain companies.

Client Challenge

Encora’s client is a leading Logistics and shipping company with a wide range of business units spanning its global operations. Special-handling “incidents” were creating a drag on operational efficiency, slowing response time to both incident resolution and also overall speed of delivery.  Unchecked, these inefficiencies could threaten the core of the company’s central value proposition.
