Special Situations Intervention
When control is lost, cash erodes, and management intuition replaces facts.
-
We intervene when freight forwarding organizations are under economic pressure and existing structures are no longer capable of restoring control.
-
This is not consulting.
-
This is a time-bound operational intervention with measurable financial impact.
What we establish first
Before any metric improves, we install the prerequisite:
A tight operational and financial steering logic that forces the organization to move in the right direction immediately.
This includes:
-
Few, non-negotiable control variables directly tied to cash, margin, and execution
-
Clear ownership and decision rights — no committees, no diffusion
-
Short feedback loops — deviations visible within days, not months
-
Automatic consequence logic — data triggers action, not discussion
We don’t optimize metrics. We install a system that makes the right results unavoidable.
Typical results within 90–180 days
Once the steering logic is in place, results follow:
-
Accelerate cash cycle by ≥10 days through faster billing
→ Immediate cash release equivalent to ~⅓ of monthly revenue
-
Reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) by ~5 - 15 days
-
Increase gross profit by ~3% through revenue leakage elimination
→ Typically translating into ~10% EBIT uplift
-
100% correctness of real-time gross profit
-
100% timely availability of critical shipment milestones
-
Zero intercompany differences
→ Fully automated intercompany billing, accounting, and settlement
-
Accurate, automated profit sharing on file level
These are not forecasts.
They are repeatable outcomes under the right conditions.
