Strategic Design

What Strategic Design Encompasses

Strategic Discovery & Assessment

We take a holistic view of your current logistics landscape—assessing maturity, strengths, opportunities, and unique requirements. This grounds your strategy in operational reality rather than theory, ensuring recommendations are practical and achievable.

Clear Outcomes You Can Count On

Every engagement concludes with tangible deliverables that provide clarity,
confidence, and an actionable roadmap for long-term sustainable success.

Confident Execution

With aligned objectives, data-driven priorities, and an operational blueprint guiding decisions, your team will execute with confidence.

Why Trust JBF

Unlike generalist consultants, logistics isn’t one of many things we do—it’s all we do. Our team brings
deep cross-industry expertise and a proven methodology that balances strategy with execution.

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.

Unbiased
Guidance

Recommendations are grounded in your business goals, not vendor hype. We never accept commissions or hidden incentives.

Hands-On
Expertise

We’ve implemented and operated logistics technology ourselves, giving us a pragmatic view of what works—and what doesn’t—in real-world operations.

Risk-First
Methodology

Transparency and risk mitigation from day one.

Holistic Lens

We don’t just look at technology—we factor in people, process, policy, and data.
