Logistics & Operations Audit & Roadmap

Ideal for

Executives tired of running their supply chain on instinct instead of insight.

Companies with rising cost-to-serve, unclear accountability, or process fatigue across multiple warehouses or 3PLs.

Ideal for leadership teams who need one clear roadmap — with numbers, ownership, and timeframes — not another report collecting dust.

Turn operational friction into measurable performance.

Every logistics network reaches a point where cost, visibility, and throughput stop improving despite new tools or vendor changes.
The issue is rarely the technology or people. It is the hidden inefficiencies buried inside disconnected processes, outdated metrics, and unaligned decision-making.

Pendel’s Logistics & Operations Audit + Roadmap rebuilds operational clarity from the inside out.
We map every process across transportation, warehouse, and order flow to reveal where time, money, and control are leaking — and what it will take to fix it.

This is not a generic “efficiency review.” We deliver a practical, financial roadmap your executive team can act on immediately.
Every finding ties back to a quantified impact on working capital, lead time, and margin. The result is a data-driven plan that strengthens performance without adding headcount or complexity.

Common audit targets:

• Excess dwell time or detention cost drivers
• Inefficient inventory turns and warehouse flow
• Redundant or manual steps in shipment planning
• Carrier and 3PL performance misalignment
• Weak visibility between purchase order, warehouse, and delivery data

Methodology

1. Operational Mapping
We conduct a full process audit across inbound, outbound, and warehouse flows to uncover inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and control gaps. Each activity is time-stamped, cost-mapped, and benchmarked against best-in-class standards.

2. Data Integrity Review
We evaluate the accuracy and usability of your data across TMS, WMS, and ERP systems to identify blind spots limiting decision-making and visibility.

3. KPI Baseline + Benchmarking
We establish true performance baselines using cycle times, cost-to-serve, and working capital data. These benchmarks form the foundation for ROI modeling and accountability.

4. Roadmap Design
We translate audit findings into a 90-day, 180-day, and 12-month improvement roadmap ranked by financial and operational impact.

5. Leadership Alignment + Execution
We facilitate working sessions with leadership to secure buy-in, define owners, and establish tracking cadence so execution does not lose momentum.
