EPG Consulting offers customized warehouse and logistics strategies tailored to your needs, from analysis through to implementation of strategic measures.
We identify untapped potential and help you achieve maximum efficiency and quality. We analyze your existing warehouse processes and optimize them sustainably.
Whether it’s about updating outdated systems, increasing efficiency, or improving safety – with a retrofit or targeted modernization measures, your automated systems remain future-proof and state of the art.
Up to 25% of your logistics costs are generated by the construction and operation of a warehouse. This represents enormous potential to effectively reduce costs. We show you how to achieve sustainable savings through targeted optimization of your warehouse processes.
We support you in planning and implementing your logistics and warehouse construction projects and take care of tasks such as tendering and awarding contracts to partners or managing approval procedures.
Growing companies often struggle with complex transport management, inefficient capacities, rising costs, and challenging route planning. An effective Transport Management System (TMS) is therefore crucial.
Complex invoicing processes involving many parties carry the risk of financial losses and loss of trust. Our consulting solutions maximize transparency, efficiency, and cost savings.
Sustainable and efficient transport logistics are the future. We support companies in increasing productivity, reducing kilometers, routes, and fleet size, and lowering CO2 emissions.
Whether it involves forecasting, capacity planning, or automated decision support: AI enables transparency and enhances the steerability of your transport logistics. We analyze your processes, define concrete application scenarios, and ensure a resilient implementation—from the initial use-case definition to full-scale rollout.

Professional logistics consulting assesses a company’s entire logistics setup and translates the findings into actionable improvement measures and investment decisions. Depending on the scope of the project, this may include locations, warehouse and transportation processes, capacities, systems, cost structures, and organizational structures. The key is to align operational challenges with the company’s long-term strategic objectives. EPG CONSULTING supports companies throughout the entire process, from analysis and concept development through to implementation.
External logistics consulting is particularly valuable when operational limits are being reached, costs are rising, or major investment decisions are approaching. Typical triggers include business growth, changing order profiles, limited warehouse capacity, new locations, automation projects, or increasing coordination requirements between warehousing and transportation. An independent perspective helps companies assess root causes and potential solutions separately and avoid committing too early to a specific technology or vendor.
A logistics consulting project typically begins with an assessment of the current data, processes, and objectives. Weaknesses and bottlenecks are then analyzed, alternative scenarios are developed, and the options are evaluated in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility. This results in a prioritized action plan or a detailed target concept. The scope and level of planning detail should reflect the actual significance and complexity of the decision at hand.
The duration depends on the scope of the assignment, the availability of data, and the number of scenarios to be compared. A clearly defined warehouse check or initial potential assessment can be completed significantly faster than comprehensive site, warehouse, or logistics network planning. The involvement of different departments and the coordination of decision-making rounds also affect the timeline. EPG CONSULTING structures projects so that robust interim findings are available as early as possible to support upcoming decisions.
The cost of logistics consulting depends on the project scope, the required level of planning detail, and the analyses involved. Key factors include the number of locations, data preparation requirements, simulations, alternative concepts, and whether support is required through the tendering or implementation phase. The consulting scope should be proportionate to the economic and strategic importance of the decision ahead.
The data required depends on the specific objectives of the project. However, relevant information typically includes order, SKU, inventory, material flow, cost, and capacity data. Additional information on facilities, workforce, suppliers, customers, the existing IT landscape, and planned changes can also be valuable. Not every analysis requires fully prepared data sets, but any missing information must be taken into account when evaluating the results. At the outset, it is therefore important to identify which information gaps could affect the reliability of the analysis and determine how they can be addressed effectively.
