As International Supply Chain and Logistics professionals, we assist private and public sector companies, government ministries, academia and non-profit including regulators, and policy makers, in finding affective solutions in complex environments. We can identify the impacts disruptions to supply chains have on economic stability, fluidity of goods and services, supplier vendor obligations under trade contracts, rerouting and use of trade lanes, waterways and ports/terminals.
Whether it be natural disasters, force majeure, unexpected labor stoppages, shut down of Canals such as the Panama or Suez Canals, vessels attacks in unstable waters, foreign sanctions, increased tariffs or duties, congestion, railway delays, derailments, mechanical shutdowns of facilities, terminal closures, all have an impact on your business. We bring alternatives in how to redirect and support your supply chains in these circumstances using critical data collected to make the best decisions to resolve and change course.
We examine performance targets, productivity, labor allocation, deployment, technical resources, transportation systems, manufacturing capacity, access to raw materials, resources, energy and proximity to markets.
In addition to adjusting sourcing of goods, we look at location of facilities in proximity to needed infrastructure specifically transportation services.
We factor in transportation costs, reliability of services, fuel costs, green fees, related to port climate change policy being active in refuting such costs, if necessary, where international law, federal and state law conflict.
We are advocates for good causes related to the best interests of our clients and fair treatment of our clients in their business operations across diverse jurisdictions specifically the US, Canada, EU, UK and Mexico.
We are the voice of our clients to assure policy, and legislation allows them to legally and commercially flourish in a world of free market enterprise under equal and fair terms of competition and trust that avoids monopolization of services and industry.
Most importantly, in today’s world of fast paced technology and innovation we identify the human impacts to labor, documentation systems, financial transactions, insurance coverages and warranties, including legal risks and warranties.
We work with industry, companies, regulators, policy makers, consumers, shippers, resource companies, labor associations and legal professionals, to assure regulatory governance and legal frameworks are in place to protect human society.
