What We Do
GSG's operations practice is where strategy meets execution. We work alongside your team to improve the way your facilities, fleets, and processes actually run day to day. Whether you're looking to drive cost out of an existing operation, integrate a newly acquired business, or redesign workflows that have been patched together over the years, we bring hands-on operational expertise and a results-first approach.
Warehouse Facilities & Private Fleet Optimization
Warehouse
We
evaluate your warehouse facilities and private fleet operations end to end, from space utilization and labor productivity to vehicle routing and maintenance scheduling. Using data-driven analysis and deep operational experience, we identify the changes that will have the greatest impact on cost, throughput, and service levels. Our recommendations are practical, not theoretical, designed for implementation with your existing team and infrastructure.Process Automation & Reengineering
Many
GSG
helps companies map their current-state processes, identify waste and redundancy, and design improved workflows that take advantage of available technology. This can range from automating manual data entry and reporting tasks to redesigning order management, freight payment, or warehouse receiving processes. We focus on changes that deliver measurable results quickly while building a foundation for long-term operational improvement.Continuous Improvement
One-time
We
help organizations establish continuous improvement programs rooted in Lean and Six Sigma principles, adapted for supply chain and logistics environments. This includes defining the right KPIs, establishing review cadences, training internal teams on problem-solving methodologies, and building the governance structures that keep improvement efforts on track after we leave. The goal is not to create dependency on outside consultants. It's to build internal capability that drives ongoing performance gains.Post-Acquisition Integration
Acquisitions
GSG
provides hands-on post-acquisition integration support for the supply chain and logistics functions. We help acquiring companies develop integration roadmaps, prioritize quick wins, manage the transition of vendor and carrier relationships, and align operational processes across legacy organizations. Our team has supported integrations for both corporate acquirers and private equity portfolio companies, and we understand the urgency and complexity that come with getting it right under tight timelines.Our Approach
Every engagement follows a structured, repeatable process refined across hundreds of projects:
Operational Assessment.
We spend time on-site and in the data to understand how your operations actually function today, not how the org chart says they should. We map processes, measure performance, and identify the root causes behind operational friction.
Prioritized Improvement Plan.
Not every problem needs to be solved at once. We develop a phased plan that sequences improvements by impact and feasibility, so your team sees results early while building toward larger structural changes.
Hands-On Implementation.
We don't hand off a slide deck and walk away. Our team works alongside yours to implement changes, troubleshoot issues, and adjust course as conditions on the ground evolve.
Sustainment & Knowledge Transfer.
We don't hand off a slide deck and walk away. Our team works alongside yours to implement changes, troubleshoot issues, and adjust course as conditions on the ground evolve.
Sustainment & Knowledge Transfer - Before we disengage, we ensure your team has the tools, training, and processes in place to sustain the gains and continue improving independently. Lasting results, not consulting dependency.

We’ve Done the Work – Our team members have held senior operational leadership roles managing warehouses, fleets, and distribution networks. We understand the difference between what looks good on paper and what actually works on a dock.
Results Over Reports – We measure success by operational outcomes, not deliverable volume. If a recommendation doesn’t move a KPI, it doesn’t make the cut.
Integration Expertise – We’ve supported post-acquisition supply chain integrations for PE-backed and corporate acquirers, bringing structure and urgency to a process that often stalls without experienced guidance.
Scalable to Your Size – Whether you’re a mid-market manufacturer with one facility or a multi-site distributor, we scale our approach to fit your operational footprint and budget.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to be on-site for operations engagements?
For most operations work, yes. Effective process improvement and facility optimization require time on the floor observing workflows, talking to frontline teams, and understanding the physical environment. We typically structure engagements with concentrated on-site time during the assessment and implementation phases, with remote work for analysis and planning in between.
