To create a sustainable impact for your clients, an update of your strategy, design and / or transformation of different parts in your supply chain could be required to stay competitive. We as Deloitte, make a distinction between your customer requirements as well as your internal business requirements.

To be able to meet up with changing customer requirements, decisions are necessary on how to organize your supply chain and your distribution network. Typical questions which arise are:

• Do you want to open additional warehouse(s) to serve your customer with shorter lead times?
• Do you want to offer your customer the choice to send return via a 3PL, via a store, or both?
• Do you want to offer the choice of ordering today and delivering tomorrow?
• Do you want to offer more sustainable last mile distribution?
  

In addition to the growing and rapidly evolving challenge of meeting customer expectations, our Logistics and Distribution team can support you with continuously improving your supply chain, answering questions such as:

• Am I using the optimal mix of channels to serve my customers?
•  Is my logistical organization set up in such a way that it fully supports my logistics strategy?
• Do my customers have different service requirements and expectations? Should I provide segmented services?
• Is my network tax-aligned and am I operating tax efficient product routings at a global scale?
• Is my technology backbone entirely fit for purpose?
• Do I want to operate my own warehousing and logistics, or do I want to outsource this to a 3PL?
