Logistics Consulting & Supply Chain Planning
Beyond moving individual shipments, our consulting and planning service helps businesses rethink how their logistics processes work end to end. The starting point is always the same — a structured review of how your goods currently flow, followed by a practical plan to improve it.
Our Three-Step Framework
Analysis
Our consulting team reviews your current logistics processes, including material flow, stock levels, and information management systems, to understand where time and cost are being lost.
Project Planning
A project management team works closely with your staff to understand your needs in detail, before preparing a proposal and pricing tailored to your operation.
Implementation
Once the plan is approved, we bring our logistics and information resources into play to deliver solutions that optimise your supply chain and reduce overall logistics costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is logistics consulting a separate service from freight forwarding?
Consulting and planning work alongside our freight forwarding services. It is most useful when a client wants to restructure how shipments are planned and coordinated, not just book individual movements.
How long does the analysis and planning process take?
Timelines vary with the complexity of your current logistics setup, but most engagements move from initial analysis to a proposal within a few weeks.
Do I need to switch all my freight forwarding to SAS to use consulting services?
No. Our consulting team can review your current supply chain even if some shipments are handled by other providers, and recommend where improvements would have the most impact.
