Supply Chain Consulting

Turn Your Supply Chain Into a Competitive Advantage

Most companies know their freight costs are too high — they just don't know where to start fixing it. MyExpressFreight's supply chain consultants bring deep operational expertise across ocean freight, customs, warehousing, and distribution to give you a clear picture of where your money is going, where you're overpaying, and exactly what to do about it.

Whether you're importing from Asia, exporting to Europe, or managing a complex multi-modal domestic network, our consulting team identifies practical, measurable improvements — not just theoretical frameworks — and helps you execute them.

• • Trade lane analysis and routing optimization
• • Landed cost modeling and total cost of import analysis
• • Carrier selection and rate benchmarking
• • Customs compliance audits and duty recovery
• • Free Trade Agreement qualification and tariff engineering
• • Incoterms review and contract term optimization
• • Nearshoring and reshoring feasibility analysis
• • Supply chain risk assessment and resilience planning

What a Supply Chain Review Can Find

Companies that conduct a structured supply chain review with MyExpressFreight consistently find significant cost and performance improvements they weren't aware of.

• • Overpaid freight rates compared to current market benchmarks — often 10–25% above competitive levels for companies that haven't renegotiated in 12+ months.
• • Misclassified HTS codes resulting in overpaid import duties — recoverable through protest filings going back up to one year.
• • Unclaimed FTA benefits — USMCA, US-Korea FTA, US-Chile FTA, and others that could reduce duties to zero on qualifying goods.
• • Suboptimal routing — wrong port of entry, inefficient transshipment points, or inland routing that adds days and dollars unnecessarily.
• • Incoterms mismatches — paying freight and insurance costs that should contractually sit with your supplier or buyer.
• • Excess inventory carrying costs from safety stock built to compensate for unreliable transit times that better carrier selection could fix.

How Our Consulting Engagement Works

We keep our consulting process straightforward and action-oriented. You get clear findings and a concrete implementation roadmap — not a thick report that sits on a shelf.

Step 1 — Discovery Call:

We learn your business, trade flows, current pain points, and goals. No charge, no commitment — just a focused conversation about your supply chain.

Step 2 — Data Collection:

You share freight invoices, customs entries, carrier contracts, and shipment data. We handle everything confidentially and securely.

Step 3 — Analysis:

Our team conducts a structured review across your freight costs, routing, compliance, carrier performance, and total landed costs.

Step 4 — Findings Presentation:

We present specific findings with quantified savings opportunities, compliance gaps, and prioritized recommendations.

Step 5 — Implementation:

We help you execute — renegotiating rates, correcting HTS codes, filing FTA certificates, restructuring Incoterms, and optimizing routing — using our own operational capabilities.

Step 6 — Ongoing Review:

Supply chains change. We offer ongoing monitoring and quarterly reviews to ensure your performance and savings hold as market conditions evolve.

Supply Chain Risk & Resilience

The disruptions of recent years — port congestion, blank sailings, geopolitical tariff shifts, and pandemic-driven bottlenecks — have exposed just how fragile single-source, single-lane supply chains can be. MyExpressFreight helps you build resilience without sacrificing efficiency.

Supplier Diversification:

Identify alternative sourcing regions and model the cost and lead time implications of multi-country sourcing strategies.

Multi-Carrier Strategy:

Reduce dependency on a single ocean carrier or airline with a diversified carrier portfolio and contingency routing plans.

Inventory Positioning:

Determine optimal safety stock levels and US warehouse positioning to buffer against transit time variability without excessive carrying costs.

Trade Policy Monitoring:

Stay ahead of tariff changes, trade agreement updates, and sanctions with proactive compliance monitoring and fast response planning.

Business Continuity Planning:

Build documented contingency logistics plans so your team knows exactly what to do when a lane, carrier, or port is disrupted.
