Challenge
Acquisitions left two different distribution philosophies operating across Europe. Repeated changes created complex flows, redundant handling, and uneven facility costs, making the true opportunity difficult to assess.
Response
PMO Partners evaluated twelve plant warehouses, standalone warehouses, and distribution centers. Site reviews and analysis mapped shipment volumes, freight, service performance, labor, packaging, and overhead. The team validated findings with responsible client leaders and considered relevant transportation requirements.
Outcome
The assessment recommended consolidation, relocation, revised inventory flows, and selected retail-warehouse expansion. It estimated net annual savings of $1.1–$1.33 million. Those figures were recommendations-based estimates, not reported realized savings. The analysis also exposed internal stock transfers representing about one-third of shipment volume.
An edited client story. Outcomes and figures describe the reported engagement, rather than a promise of results for another organization.
