Transportation, Logistics & Distribution
As legislation, consumer demands and supply chains evolve, we help the transportation, logistics, and distribution industry minimize disruption, optimize tax credits and harness data-driven technology.
Transportation, Logistics & Distribution
In a dynamic and evolving regulatory landscape, businesses across transportation, logistics, and distribution must embrace the latest trends while anticipating where obstacles may lie.
Distributors work tirelessly to provide knowledgeable sales representatives, exceptional customer service and quick turnaround on order placement. At the same time, global supply chain complexity continues to grow, making automation, compliance management, stock keeping unit (SKU) proliferation, financial integration and forecasting essential for future readiness.
Transportation, logistics, and distribution solutions
Our advisory services are tailored to the challenges you face every day. Whether it’s business intelligence and visual analytics in easy-to understand dashboards, automating processes with robotic process automation (RPA) or addressing cybersecurity and information technology risks, our consulting advisors guide you each step of the way.
Cybersecurity
With the increasing reliance on digital technologies, transportation, logistics, and distribution companies are highly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Baker Tilly’s risk advisory services offer a proactive approach to managing risk by delivering internal control reviews, cybersecurity assessments and forensic accounting to detect and mitigate fraud. We help transportation, logistics, and distribution companies build resilient operations that safeguard assets and enhance governance and compliance frameworks to avoid financial losses and reputational damage.
Digital solutions
The adoption of new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics, equips businesses to navigate constant competitive challenges and provides 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.
Baker Tilly stands as a trusted advisor, guiding businesses through these digital transformations for a sustainable competitive advantage. 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. Depending on the new features or functionalities your business needs, cloud solutions enable you to seamlessly adjust and expand your ERP requirements as necessary.
