Our client is a global furniture and home goods retailer running contract logistics with external operators.

The Challenge

The company was increasingly building its warehouse operations on partnerships with external operators, on whom cost, quality, and on-time performance depended. Teams needed to move from managing results to understanding operational processes, technology, and their impact on KPIs and costs.

What We Do

  • Development and delivery of a hands-on training program for the team.

  • Modules covering warehouse process analysis, technology selection, quality, and ergonomics.

  • Building a shared process vocabulary between the company and its external operators.

  • Grounding the content in real case studies from completed projects.

Results

  • A commercial training program delivered and billed on a modular basis.

  • Improved team competency in evaluating external operator proposals.

  • The team equipped with tools for early identification of operational risks.

Summary

A hands-on training program was delivered that shifted the team's role from contract oversight to operational decision-making. It built a shared process vocabulary and competencies that translate into better cost and quality control of contract logistics.
