Transportation & Logistics Consulting

During mergers, acquisitions (M&A) or other transactions it's important to ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial statements to make informed decisions. M&A advisory services in the T&L sector involve deep industry knowledge to help navigate complex transactions, reduce risks and achieve strategic goals. We help provide expertise in areas like freight forwarding, truck brokerage, warehousing and transportation management to help companies navigate complex transactions, optimize value and ensure compliance with tax regulations.

The increasing emphasis on domestic content, driven by programs such as Build America Buy America (BABA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), has added new layers of complexity to supply chain management. These programs offer significant tax credits and incentives for T&L companies to invest in clean energy solutions. These include credits for solar panels, electric vehicles, geothermal power and energy storage systems. The location of production sites and other supply chain designs will also need to take energy and emission costs related to logistics processes into account. Baker Tilly’s T&L, tax and energy specialists can help guide your organization through the complexities and how to effectively position your project to receive and maximize eligible tax credits.

The T&L industry is facing operational nuances with long lead times and unavailability of materials. To stay competitive, supply chain companies need effective strategies to optimize logistics, procurement and overall operations.

Our teams possess deep expertise in areas such as product development, complexity reduction, supply chain configuration, manufacturing efficiency, procurement and supply chain management and logistics.

The adoption of new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics, equips businesses to navigate through constant competitive challenges and provide opportunities for cost reduction, risk management and increasing stakeholder value. Leveraging available data to make informed decisions is essential when considering major changes to distribution or supplier networks. These technologies help in optimizing routes, predicting demand, managing inventory, and enhancing customer service. AI-driven systems can analyze vast amounts of data to provide actionable insights and automate decision-making processes.

We help in assisting in the selection, implementation, and optimization of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to ensure seamless integration across all supply chain functions.
