Transport and Logistics
Transport and Logistics are essential components of the supply chain. They focus on execution operations (preparation, storage and movement of products) and involve managing and coordinating the company’s internal (logistics) and external (transport) flows.
Transport and logistics account for a significant proportion of capital expenditure (CAPEX for warehouses – construction, automation, etc. – and means of transport) and operating costs (OPEX: salaries for operators/drivers or outsourced transport and logistics services), the distribution of which is a matter of strategic choices of the “make or buy” type, with risk management to be apprehended in each case.
The evolution of Transport and Logistics is facing the following challenges:
- Digitization: the choice and implementation of digital tools to control flows, and the management and use of large volumes of information in real time.
- Warehouse automation
- Operational risk management
- Carbon footprint and decarbonization solutions for transport and logistics
Our consultants and managers have extensive operational backgrounds and have led numerous projects across various business sectors. This enables them to swiftly identify our clients’ transport and logistics challenges and develop effective, tailored solutions for implementation.
The service, cost and social responsibility challenges associated with transport and logistics reveal considerable scope for progress, which we are keen to explore with our customers.

Freight procurement involves selecting the service providers who will offer the best mix of cost-efficiency, service (on-time delivery, flexibility, etc.), capacity (reliability, meeting commitments, etc.) and CSR commitments.
During our customers’ Supply Chain, Logistics and/or Transport diagnostics, we observe current practices, understand needs and constraints, and analyze the data collected. Our consultants and transport experts, backed by their operational experience and numerous transport projects, identify and quantify the levers for transportation performance.
The environmental impact of freight transport is now well known. Depending on the activity of each company, the origin of the raw materials/products and the modes of transport used, the carbon impact of transport will be more or less significant.
The transport plan allows you to plan your transport by organizing the movement of goods. Newton.Vaureal Consulting mobilizes its optimization department to define the best transport response.
Today, the transport plan is based on the TMS tool. We can help you make its dialogue with the warehouse WMS more dynamic.
