Growth and competitiveness through digitalized logistics
We support commerce, industrial, and logistics companies in making their logistics processes and structures fit for the future.
How we unlock the potential of your logistics
Does your logistics waste time, costs and nerves?
Whether it's growing order volumes, increasing complexity, or mounting pressure from competitors, the strain on logistics teams is growing. At the same time, they often lack precisely what they need to move forward: time, resources, and expertise. This leaves key questions unanswered: How digitalized are our processes really? Which software will help us move forward? How can we guide our team through change without jeopardizing day-to-day business? You know that change is necessary. But the path to getting there still seems unknown, long, and risky?
What hinders digital projects in logistics frequently
Many small and medium-sized businesses face similar obstacles: Whether it's high costs and a lack of resources in day-to-day operations; uncertainty when choosing IT software and tools; concerns about project delays or complete cancellations. Recurring resistance within the team – unclear processes, poor data quality, and a lack of consistent standards in the system make it difficult to focus on the goal. Change is necessary — but it collides with reality.

We understand your challenges, know them from our own experience, and know how to balance expectations and reality. We examine both operational and strategic aspects and implement the agreed objectives in your processes and teams. We act neutrally, practically, realistically, and sustainably.

Analysis & tendering for logistics software implementation (WMS)
In this project, we supported a medium-sized trade business on its journey towards digitalized logistics. To this end, we jointly conducted a comprehensive analysis of the logistical flow of goods, cost structures, processes and pain points. The aim was to identify short-term optimization potential in the existing ERP system, highlight technological options, and selecting a partner and system for WMS services.
Services:
- As-is-cost analysis: Detailed assesment of logistics and IT cost structures.
- Analysis of goods flows and processes: Examination of goods flows and warehousing processes to identify pain points.
- Definition of KPIs: Establishment of key performance indicators to promote awareness for costs and measuring.
- Process optimization: Immediate measures to optimize existing processes.
- Technology analysis: Identification of technological options and preparation for software tendering including requirements specification and business case creation.
- WMS tender: Preparation, execution, and assessment of WMS tendering process.
- Preparation for implementation: Conducting process and requirements workshops and mediating between suppliers and customer.
FAQ on our service portfolio
What is logistics consulting?
unconsulting’s logistics consulting aims to deliver an external evaluation of your processes and goals. We support and accompany you on the path of optimization and digitalization.
More details on our logistic services can be discussed in an individual consulting call. Feel free to contact us for a first getting-to-know each other.

Which size can logistics consulting projects be?
Once a logistics consulting service has been selected, the size and scope can be discussed individually with unconsulting. The scope can also be reviewed and adjusted as needed during the course of the project.
Structured management consulting in logistics with unconsulting can be implemented at various levels. You can form an orientation on the following categories:
- Small scope: A project with a fixed short time frame or a longer time frame with constant but minimal time commitment.
For example, small optimizations or an implementation that is in the launch phase, as well as ongoing sparring & mentoring. - Intermediate scope: Projects that run over a longer period of time or require a short but intensive time commitment.
For example, software implementations or tenders. - Extensive scope: Long-term and cross-project collaboration to continuously build on measures and optimizations or to carefully lead transformations to success while taking day-to-day business into account.
For example, starting with a potential analysis and then continuing with selection and implementation, or requiring a permanent partner and companion to closely accompany transformations.
