Our Freelance Supply Chain Consultants analyze existing supply chains for structural weaknesses, develop robust sourcing strategies, and support operational implementation through to measurable improvements in results. Typical deliverables include supply chain assessments, supplier evaluations, risk matrices, process optimizations along the entire value chain, and concrete action plans with KPI tracking. For companies facing margin pressure, supply disruptions, or regulatory requirements such as the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), this expertise is directly relevant to decision-making.
Companies typically turn to our profiles when a critical supplier relationship breaks down, a nearshoring or reshoring project needs to be structured, or the internal supply chain function lacks sufficient capacity for a transformation project. External expertise is also needed for M&A transactions requiring supply chain due diligence or in the wake of crises such as raw material shortages—and it’s needed immediately, not in three months.

Our experts analyze material flows end-to-end and identify the real cost drivers. They integrate procurement, planning, production, logistics, and sales into a consistent operating model. This results in measures that work in your specific context.
With these profiles, you receive not just concepts, but actionable backlogs. Typical metrics include OTIF, days of inventory, forecast accuracy, lead time, and expedite rate. Management is driven by clear responsibilities and pragmatic reporting.
Our profiles operate reliably within ERP and planning environments and systematically resolve master data issues. They define parameter logic, test scenarios, and provide transparency regarding bottlenecks. This restores planning’s reliability and auditability.

We work with you to determine the exact scope: Is it supplier consolidation, inventory optimization, risk management, or support for a transformation project? Based on your industry, company structure, and the desired deliverables, we define the technical and personal requirements for the right profile.
We match your requirements with our verified profiles—based on industry experience, methodological expertise, and availability. You’ll receive suitable recommendations within 24–36 hours, personally curated and accompanied by a specific assessment of their suitability for the project.
What matters to us isn’t the length of a candidate’s resume, but whether their profile actually delivers results in your specific supply chain context. We support the onboarding process and are available as a point of contact if the scope or requirements change as the project progresses.
Supply chain consultant specializing in S&OP/IBP and inventory optimization in the industrial and consumer goods sectors. Areas of expertise: forecast improvement, service level/safety stock models, ABC/XYZ segmentation, KPI setups (OTIF, DOS), workshop facilitation, and implementation.
Supply chain consultant specializing in production planning, bottleneck management, and MRP parameterization. Areas of expertise: capacity planning, sequencing/setup optimization, WIP reduction, root cause analysis for schedule deviations, process design, and control logic in ERP/APS environments.
Supply chain consultant specializing in supplier performance and end-to-end delivery capability. Areas of expertise: OTIF programs, supplier development, escalation management, inbound logistics processes, Incoterms/transportation concepts, and the development of robust KPI dashboards.
Supply chain consultant specializing in logistics and transportation costs, network and warehouse optimization. Areas of expertise: freight tenders, carrier management, warehouse processes and layout, track-and-trace, cost-to-serve analyses, and implementing quick wins in day-to-day operations.
You’ll receive an initial selection of suitable profiles within 24–36 hours. To do this, we match your requirements with availability, industry fit, and the relevant sub-processes (planning, procurement, logistics, production). We then coordinate interviews and present the profiles to you in a structured manner, with a focus on measurable results.
First, we clarify the target state, scope, and the critical supply chain metrics that need improvement. You will then receive our profiles, which include clear areas of expertise, project experience, and start dates. Finally, we guide the selection process through to engagement and provide support during the kick-off, role clarification, and target KPIs.
We don’t just match based on job titles, but on process domains such as S&OP/IBP, MRP, supplier management, production planning, or transportation. Our experts are evaluated based on specific deliverables, such as parameter logic, KPI dashboards, or S&OP meeting designs. Additionally, we assess their familiarity with systems (ERP/planning tools), adaptability to change, and ability to execute effectively in an operational environment.
In weeks 1–2, we establish baselines and ensure data quality so that key performance indicators are reliable. In weeks 3–4, initial quick wins should become apparent, such as a reduced expedite rate, more stable delivery dates, or cleaner scheduling parameters. Using these profiles, you’ll also define a KPI routine that makes weekly progress transparent.
A structured onboarding process begins with stakeholder mapping, process assessment, and access to relevant data sources and reports. Our experts document decisions, parameter changes, and new routines so that your team can continue to implement them. Knowledge transfer takes place via playbooks, templates (e.g., S&OP agenda, KPI definitions), and joint handover workshops.
The daily rate for our profiles ranges from €1,000 to €1,400. The specific rate typically depends on the scope of the project, the profile’s seniority, the required level of system expertise (ERP/APS), and the level of implementation responsibility required. You’ll receive profiles with clearly defined areas of expertise, allowing you to accurately align price with expected impact.
Common deliverables include a prioritized action backlog, a KPI dashboard (OTIF, inventory levels, lead times), and a consistent governance process for planning and escalation. In addition, there are parameterization decisions for scheduling/MRP, such as lot sizes, lead times, and safety stock levels. With these profiles, you’ll also receive templates and documentation to ensure the improvements remain in place.
