The logistics sector is under sustained pressure. Rising operating costs, labour shortages, supply chain disruption and increasing customer expectations are forcing logistics businesses to rethink how they operate. For many organisations, small, incremental changes are no longer enough. Meaningful improvement now requires clearer strategy, stronger control and better use of operational data.
BrookConsult works with logistics companies across the UK to improve operational efficiency, strengthen supply chain resilience and put systems in place that support long-term, sustainable growth.
The Key Pain Points Facing Logistics Companies Today
Rising Costs and Margin Pressure
Fuel, energy, labour and compliance costs continue to erode margins across transport and logistics operations. In many businesses, inefficiencies in routing, warehousing and inventory management remain hidden, compounding these pressures and limiting profitability.
Labour Shortages and Skills Gaps
Recruitment and retention remain critical challenges, particularly in warehouse operations, transport planning and supervisory roles. Without clear processes, defined responsibilities and effective performance management, productivity and service levels quickly decline.
Inefficient Processes and Limited Visibility
Disconnected systems, manual workarounds and inconsistent processes often lead to poor visibility across the supply chain. This makes decision-making harder, increases the risk of errors and slows response times when issues arise.
Increasing Customer Expectations
Customers expect faster delivery, greater reliability and clear communication. Logistics businesses must meet these expectations while keeping costs under control and protecting already tight margins.
Ongoing Disruption and Regulatory Change
Brexit, sustainability requirements and global supply volatility have added complexity to planning and day-to-day operations. Logistics organisations need to be resilient, adaptable and prepared for continued change.
How Logistics Consultancy Delivers Measurable Improvement
BrookConsult’s logistics consultancy focuses on practical, performance-led improvement. Our work is grounded in real operational environments, not theory or generic frameworks.
Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction
We identify inefficiencies across transport planning, warehouse layout, inventory control and order fulfilment, helping logistics businesses reduce waste, lower operating costs and improve throughput.
