Asia Pacific & Japan Logistics Transformation
Rebuilt APJ logistics for a Fortune 100 enterprise, consolidating 1,500+ accounts, restoring governance, and delivering 40% cost reduction, 80% account consolidation, and full visibility across the region.
Situation
A Fortune 100 technology enterprise was losing millions annually due to a fragmented, ungoverned logistics network across Asia Pacific & Japan.
Key issues included:
• 1,500+ unmanaged shipping accounts with no centralized visibility
• Zero governance or cost‑center accountability
• Broken processes and inconsistent service levels
• Escalations driven by unclear ownership
• Procurement - Operations distrust and reactive firefighting
• Rising YoY spend with no pricing discipline
• Poor data quality and no unified reporting
The environment was costly, reactive, and fundamentally unscalable.
