End-to-End Supply Chain Consulting
What We Do
Specialized, boutique supply chain consulting across strategy, operations, and technology, from idea to implementation. Our team brings decades of operator knowledge across the supply chain and provides a white glove experience for every client.
- •Network and facility modeling
- •Transportation and lane analysis
- •3PL assessments and RFP management
- •Board of Directors strategy material
Strategy & Network Planning
We model facilities, transportation, and inventory and build the roadmap from where the client is to where it needs to be.
The problem
The network was designed for a business that no longer exists. Volume moved, channels multiplied, and no one can prove which sites, lanes, or 3PLs still earn their cost.
Summit's response
Summit runs supply chain strategy consulting grounded in modeling, not opinion: facility and transportation scenarios, 3PL assessments, RFP management, and Board-ready material that survives scrutiny.
- •Labor management and productivity
- •Transportation and inventory analysis
- •Industrial engineering support
- •Project and program management
Operations & Execution
We close efficiency gaps and manage the labor, transportation, inventory, and program levers that move cost and performance.
The problem
Cost per unit keeps climbing, labor plans do not match volume, and inventory sits in the wrong place. The team knows something is off but has no bandwidth to work the detail.
Summit's response
Summit embeds for supply chain operations consulting: labor management, transportation and inventory analysis, industrial engineering and business analyst support, and program management that holds the schedule.
- •WMS implementation and readiness
- •TMS implementation and rollout
- •Critical post-go-live support
- •Warehouse modernization and automation
Technology Implementation
We plan, design, and execute warehouse and transportation systems that create operational readiness.
The problem
A WMS or TMS program is underway and the integrator is optimizing for go-live, not for the floor. Nobody owns readiness, training, or the weeks after cutover.
Summit's response
Summit provides supply chain technology consulting from design through critical post-go-live support, including warehouse management system implementation, TMS rollout, modernization, and automation sequenced around real operations.
- •Fractional executive placement
- •Business analyst support
- •Project and program leadership
- •Flexible, right-sized engagements
Fractional Leadership & Staffing
Senior supply chain leadership and project support without requiring a permanent executive hire.
The problem
A leadership seat is open, a program needs an owner, or the plan is right but there is no senior bandwidth to carry it. A permanent hire is months away.
Summit's response
Summit places fractional supply chain executives, business analysts, and program leaders from a network of 100+ experienced advisors for as long as the client needs them, and no longer.
