Process, Physical Distribution & Logistics Consulting
ZIGR provides end-to-end logistics consulting services focused on process optimization, physical distribution design, and supply chain transformation. We serve both defense-sector clients and commercial enterprises undergoing M&A, expansion, or realignment of their logistics operations. Our approach is rooted in operational engineering and quantitative modeling, combining data-driven analysis with boots-on-the-ground experience to architect scalable, resilient, and cost-effective logistics frameworks. ZIGR evaluates everything from inbound supply flows to outbound fulfillment and reverse logistics, with special attention to regulatory alignment (e.g., DFARS, ITAR, EAR) and operational continuity across CONUS and OCONUS theaters. Our consulting engagements typically result in increased velocity, lower working capital, enhanced security postures, and improved performance-to-cost ratios across the entire logistics stack.
ZIGR identifies inefficiencies across warehousing, transport, order fulfillment, and inventory management processes using Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, simulation modeling, and time-motion studies. We benchmark current-state performance, model future-state scenarios, and develop phased implementation roadmaps aligned to business objectives and compliance requirements. This is critical for defense primes managing government KPIs and for commercial clients seeking post-M&A integration or margin recovery.
Our team designs physical distribution networks to optimize facility location, transportation modes, and service levels. We conduct network modeling using factors such as freight costs, lead times, customer demand profiles, and regulatory zones (e.g., FTZs, HUBZones). ZIGR supports clients in facility layout optimization, terminal capacity planning, and cross-dock implementation—often integrating automation and advanced WMS/TMS platforms to increase throughput and reduce OPEX. Defense customers benefit from our ability to design distribution networks that comply with government transportation corridors and wartime readiness mandates.
ZIGR leads logistics strategy initiatives that align supply chain capabilities with mission, growth, or divestiture strategies. This includes make/buy assessments, logistics outsourcing decisions, and contractor-owned vs. government-owned model evaluations. We provide support for contract transitions, sustainment logistics for federal programs, and long-term strategic planning for logistics-heavy industries such as energy, aerospace, and national security infrastructure. Whether optimizing the logistics backbone of a new acquisition or replatforming a legacy network for digital modernization, ZIGR delivers actionable strategy with measurable ROI.
