Equipped for the future with us as logistics consultants
Our logistics consulting focuses on realizable cost reductions and process improvements within logistics. As a management consultancy in the field of logistics, we evaluate your entire logistics costs and analyze your processes. With the help of our international logistics cost database, we create a benchmark of your current costs and determine the savings potential – without a prior invitation to tender. As part of our professional logistics consultancy, you will receive a comprehensive and detailed analysis, specific recommendations for action and support in the subsequent implementation of the potential identified. We also carry out tenders on your behalf or – together with you – negotiations with existing or new service providers.
We at HDS International Group are not measured by what is written in our report, but by what has actually been successfully implemented in the course of our logistics consulting. With our focus on long-term optimization, we are committed to the future success of your company. So contact us today for comprehensive logistics planning and advice!

Deviation and weak point analysis

- Insufficiently measured degression in the tariffs with an increase in the output quantity
- Lack of consolidation benefits in the daily weight summary
- Inappropriate indices in the area of diesel cost surcharge
- Incorrect toll calculation bases due to application of non-causative cost allocation
