Discipline

Material in the right place, at the right time

Logistics

From warehouse planning to customs clearance: we plan storage and material flow systems vendor-neutrally, see the build through to performance acceptance, and hold distribution, spare parts supply and foreign trade together as one process.

Where it starts

How we approach this discipline

Material in the right place, at the right time

  1. Intralogistics is often treated as a technical question and is a data question. Without clean article, weight and movement data no storage system can be sensibly sized — and every wrong assumption gets built in steel.

  2. So we keep it clean: planning and tendering are vendor-neutral, the build goes to a contractor whose suitability we check beforehand. We do not earn on the equipment we recommend.

  3. Through to performance acceptance we stay on the client's side of the table: acceptance criteria, performance measurement and defect tracking are defined before the first order is placed.

  4. Logistics does not stop at the factory gate. Distribution, spare parts supply and customs clearance decide as much as anything whether a plant runs and a delivery arrives — which is why they belong in the same plan as the warehouse.

6 modules — on their own or as a programme

Every module can be ordered independently and ends with documentation handed over, not with a presentation. The cards state scope, standards and committed deadlines — no outcome metrics.

Working together

We do not earn on what we recommend

Advice and delivery are separate. We plan and tender in a manufacturer-neutral way; delivery is by a checked company from the marketplace. Anyone who earns on the equipment cannot recommend it neutrally.

Per module
  • Documentation handed overAlways
  • Acceptance criteria defined up frontBefore engagement
  • Commission from the provider sideNone

  • No commission from the provider side

    For planning and tendering we are paid by the client, not by the system vendor. A recommendation costs us nothing and earns us nothing.

  • Tendered manufacturer-neutral

    Specifications are written so that more than one provider can meet them. Offers are made comparable on one common evaluation matrix.

  • Results are handed over

    Process map, metric definitions, acceptance criteria — documented and handed over. Nothing stays in someone’s head or in a slide deck.

Marketplace

Which categories cover this discipline

Advice stays manufacturer-neutral; delivery is by a company that demonstrably commands it. None has been admitted so far — what stands here is the structure we search along for a project.

Across discipline boundaries

Modules in Logistics reach into further disciplines

A project rarely ends at a discipline boundary. These categories sit in other disciplines but are commissioned directly by the modules above.

Across disciplines

What is demanded whatever the discipline

Some requirements hang not on the discipline but on the supply relationship. They come up in Logistics exactly as they do in every other discipline.

LkSG

German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act

Across disciplines

Companies in scope have to identify human-rights and environmental risks in their supply chain, take measures, and document all of it — not once, but continuously.

The obligation arises at the purchasing company but is passed on contractually: whoever supplies gets asked for evidence — as a manufacturer, as a service provider, as a staffing agency, as a freight forwarder. Which is why this is not a procurement topic but one that turns up at the award in every discipline and every sector.

Whether and to what extent the Act applies directly to you depends on your company and is a legal question — we do not advise on it. And we assert for no company that it meets the requirements: which evidence your project needs is something we work out with you, and it is checked case by case.
