The following anonymised summaries reflect the scope and outcomes of recent client programs. Figures are representative of the engagements described.

Agriculture & Agri-Food

Consolidated export program for a pulse-crop exporter

Client: Prairie agri-food exporter

Challenge

A Manitoba-based exporter faced fragmented carrier relationships and inconsistent container availability during peak shipping windows, resulting in demurrage exposure and missed vessel cut-offs.

Our approach

We consolidated ocean procurement under managed carrier agreements, introduced a booking calendar aligned to vessel schedules at Vancouver and Prince Rupert, and implemented milestone tracking from inland load to overseas discharge.

Outcomes

On-time vessel cut-off

Energy, Mining & Resources

Heavy-haul delivery of processing equipment to a remote site

Client: Northern resource operator

Challenge

A processing-plant expansion required the delivery of over-dimensional modules to a Northern site with seasonal road access and limited crane availability.

Our approach

Our project team completed a route survey, secured provincial OD/OW permits, scheduled movements within the winter-road window, and supervised heavy-lift placement under an approved method statement.

Outcomes

Retail & Consumer Goods

Import consolidation and Prairie distribution hub

Client: National retail group

Challenge

A retailer importing from multiple overseas origins needed faster customs release and a central distribution point to serve stores across Western Canada.

Our approach

We established a CARM-aligned clearance program, consolidated freight at origin, and stood up a Winnipeg distribution hub with WMS integration and store-level order management.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Just-in-time inbound program for a continuous-production plant

Client: Industrial manufacturer

Challenge

Our approach

We designed an inbound control tower with carrier SLAs, cross-border customs pre-clearance, and exception alerting, supported by quarterly performance governance.

Outcomes
