Despite strong demand, the company’s supply chain operations were under strain. Rising COGS, increasing quality issues, frequent inventory stockouts, and limited supply chain visibility were creating operational and financial risk. Communication across suppliers, contract manufacturers, and logistics providers had become fragmented as volumes increased.

The board was demanding answers. Leadership needed clarity (and a plan) fast.

Heimdall was engaged to conduct a comprehensive end-to-end supply chain audit, with a focus on supply chain risk management, cost reduction, and operational scalability.

A specialized manufacturer operating a private truck fleet was absorbing significant transportation cost due to low fleet utilization and excessive empty miles. Heimdall Supply Chain Consulting was engaged through its Interim Assistance model to solve a focused operational challenge: improve fleet utilization and transportation efficiency without disrupting internal service requirements.

Two founders of a fast-growing consumer brand were overwhelmed by supply chain operations. As demand increased, supply chain management, logistics coordination, inventory planning, and supplier communication consumed more time than product development and brand growth.

Heimdall implemented a fully outsourced, turnkey supply chain management solution covering manufacturing, logistics, 3PL management, inventory planning, and daily execution. The result was a scalable supply chain for a startup, delivered at a lower cost than hiring a single in-house supply chain manager.
