Driving Excellence for Our Customers







Services Designed to Drive Your Logistics Transformation
No matter where you are on this journey, our client-centric, proven 4-phase methodology can help
move you forward to achieve your desired outcomes and sustainable, measurable results
Designing the Right Foundation for Lasting Logistics Success
Too many logistics transformations fail because teams jump to technology decisions without fully understanding their operational reality. Our Strategic Design approach starts by defining clear business outcomes and aligning people, processes, policies, and technology to achieve them. We assess your current state, design your future operating model, and build a quantifiable business case with ROI projections and risk scenarios. The result is a pragmatic, actionable roadmap that gives you confidence in every major decision, including whether to build or buy, retain and enhance, or outsource for competitive advantage.
Turning Strategy into Action
Orchestration turns strategy into an actionable plan. As your objective advisor, we help ensure the right partners, processes, and proof points are in place to move from design to delivery with confidence. Together, we refine the business case, lead vendor evaluations, manage proofs of concept, and map timelines, costs, and responsibilities. Whether you’re buying, building, or enhancing a solution, our role is to keep decisions objective and execution aligned with measurable outcomes. We also embed change management and readiness planning into every project plan—because success depends as much on people and process as on technology.
Guiding Execution With Precision
Delivery is where strategy becomes reality. It’s more than turning on new technology—it’s about bringing people, processes, and data together to perform seamlessly. JBF leads with accountability, managing every detail from design through go-live. We coordinate vendors and internal teams, oversee system build and integration, and guide testing and validation to minimize risk. Just as importantly, we prepare your people through training, communication, and change leadership so adoption takes hold. With disciplined project management and pragmatic execution, delivery becomes a confident, well-orchestrated step forward—not a leap into the unknown. The outcome: a resilient solution, a ready team, and a launch you can trust.
Evolving Logistics Technology at the Speed of Your Business
Even the best logistics systems lose effectiveness if they aren’t continually maintained and improved. JBF’s Continuous Improvement services keep your technology aligned with changing business needs—so it remains a competitive advantage, not a constraint. Acting as an extension of your team, we provide proactive support, targeted enhancements, and integration updates that protect performance and extend platform life. We also identify opportunities for optimization, analytics, and cost savings that deliver measurable impact. As your business evolves, we make sure your systems evolve with it—staying resilient, efficient, and ready for what’s next.

We Aren’t Your Average Consultants
Here’s What Makes Us Special
JBF is the partner of choice for organizations seeking to transform, optimize, and deploy adaptable
transportation systems that deliver measurable value while being ready to take on whatever is next.
Logistics isn’t one thing
we do, it’s the only thing
Other vendors try to be everything to everyone. Logistics is our only focus, so nothing competes for our expert attention.
Our team of experts has a dual-sided perspective
Our principals have sat on both sides of the logistics ecosystem—leading operations as enterprise shippers and shaping solutions within software vendors—giving us a pragmatic view of what works and what doesn’t in real-world operations.
We understand that it takes more than just technology
That’s why we align business objectives with technology, people, policy, and processes to create a clear, actionable roadmap.
JBF’s methodology provides unique transparency to identify and mitigate risks
We identify real roadblocks–data quality gaps, resource constraints, policy conflicts–early, with strategies in place to prevent delays
Our approach is 100% vendor agnostic meaning we’re in it only for you
Our vendor agnostic approach means we don’t take commissions from software vendors. Our advice is 100% focused on what’s best for you—always.
We focus on stewardship, not just delivering a strategy, plan or system
We work alongside your team to transfer knowledge, build confidence, and embed practices so you can sustain and grow the solution independently or with our on-going support and advise.
