Consulting mandate
Consulting mandate

displayed in real time. Customer service and field service could not provide pharmacies with

reliable information on stock availability. Solution: Real-time ATP is set up for the customer

Vacancy after GF departure in the Australian subsidiary of a listed South African logistics

group. Background: After the Corona high-margin phase, freight rates collapsed -

profitability fell sharply, team spirit at an all-time low, customer complaints and recourse

claims. At the same time: recently acquired customs broker not yet integrated. Measures:

Stabilisation of team and customer base; One-on-one meetings with key customers;

Contract adjustments; IT harmonisation (CargoWise as an operational platform; global data

lake Snowflake for corporate reporting); Integration of customs broker into ICS (Australian

customs system); Opening of Melbourne branch; active acquisition of new customers.

Result: Operational turnaround in 12 months. Return to profitable growth. Global Data

Lake (Snowflake) implemented. Customs broker fully integrated. Melbourne branch

opened.
