Global Logistics & Supply Chain
Supply chain performance is now a strategic issue. 23.5 Strategies helps companies and investors assess logistics, procurement, network design, vendor exposure, working capital, resilience, transportation economics, and the commercial impact of how products move.
Perspective
How we think about logistics & supply chain.
Global logistics and supply chain strategy has moved from a back-office function to a board-level concern. Cost, reliability, resilience, working capital, procurement exposure, vendor concentration, trade flows, infrastructure capacity, and customer service all shape competitive performance.
23.5 Strategies advises companies and investors on logistics strategy, supply chain optimization, distribution models, procurement exposure, transportation economics, storage, vendor and customer concentration, operating cadence, and risk assessment.
The firm's approach connects the commercial side of the business with the physical realities of how products move. In energy, fuels, chemicals, manufacturing, infrastructure, industrials, and distribution businesses, supply chain decisions are not just operational matters. They affect margin, customer retention, asset utilization, cash conversion, resilience, and strategic flexibility.
23.5 helps clients move beyond generic supply chain language and focus on practical questions: Are we serving the right customers through the right channels? Are logistics costs eroding margin? Is vendor concentration creating hidden risk? Is inventory helping or hurting cash flow? Is the operating cadence strong enough to manage disruption? Is the network aligned with the commercial strategy?
