Operations Audit · Logistics & Distribution

Your back office is leaking hours. In one week, I'll show you exactly where.

A fixed-price diagnostic for Charlotte-area logistics, distribution, and freight operators. I map the three biggest time and money leaks in your order-to-cash and dispatch workflow — then hand you a prioritized plan to close them. No "AI strategy" deck. A specific list of what to fix and what it's worth.

Sound familiar?

If your team runs the operation out of a spreadsheet and a group text, you're paying for it twice.

01

Dispatch lives in someone's head

Loads get assigned by the one person who “just knows.” When they're out, throughput drops and nobody can cover.

02

AR follow-up happens when someone remembers

Invoices age past 60 days because chasing them is manual, so cash sits on the street that should be in your account.

03

Inventory and the system disagree

What's on the floor never quite matches what the software says, so every count becomes a reconciliation project.

04

The same data gets re-keyed three times

Order intake → TMS → accounting, typed by hand at each hop. Every keystroke is a chance for an error you'll find later.

How the week runs

Five days. One real answer: where's the bottleneck, and what's it costing you.

The wrong question is "what can AI do for us?" The right one is "what's actually slowing us down?" Here's how I find it — without disrupting a single shipment.

Days 1–2

Sit with the operation

I walk your order-to-cash and dispatch flow with the people who run it. Where does work pile up, get re-typed, or wait on one person? I'm naming the constraint, not theorizing.

Days 3–4

Quantify the leaks

I put hours and dollars against the top three: what each is costing in payroll, delayed cash, and errors — and what it would take to fix each one.

Day 5

Hand off the plan

You get a prioritized build roadmap, ranked by ROI, with effort and rough cost for each. Yours to keep and act on — whether you build it with me or not.

What you walk away with

A document your operations lead could act on Monday morning.

Investment

Fixed price. Fixed scope. No open-ended consulting.

$4,500One week · paid up front · flat fee
If the audit doesn't surface savings worth more than its cost, you don't pay.

What's included: on-site or remote operational review, the full bottleneck map, the quantified leak analysis, the prioritized roadmap, and the live walkthrough.

If you decide to build: the audit fee is credited toward the first build engagement. You're never paying twice for the same thinking.

This isn't theory

Measured results from production systems running inside real operations.

18 hrs

Recovered weekly for one finance team by automating reporting workflows — eliminating three manual analyst roles.

~50%

Cut in release effort at a Cornelius logistics company through automated pipelines and hardened backend services.

100+

Live internal users supported by an MCP server and agent system built for inventory and truckload orchestration.

The work I'm proudest of is the kind where, six months later, a team can't remember how they operated before.
Is this for you?

Built for mid-market operators — not the Fortune 500, not a two-person shop.

A fit if you're…

  • A logistics, distribution, freight, or field-services firm doing $3M–$50M
  • Running real volume on manual or spreadsheet-driven workflows
  • Feeling the squeeze: more orders, same headcount, no room to hire
  • An owner or ops lead who can act on a plan once you have one

Not a fit if…

  • You already have an internal engineering team solving this
  • You want a tool recommendation, not a look at your actual process
  • You're pre-revenue or just exploring “AI” with no real bottleneck yet
  • You want a year-long retainer — this is deliberately scoped to a week

If you're done leaving it on the table, let's find the leak.

No pitch, no hype. A short conversation to confirm there's a real bottleneck worth a week of work — then we book the audit.
