How Can CATTAN Put Its Logistics & SCM Experience to Work for You?

When it comes to logistics, knowledge is power: the more you know about the “big picture,” the better you can maximize a specific function. Since our staff have all served in upper middle management to senior level executive positions, we can take a conceptual, philosophical, and strategic approach to understanding your organization’s processes, methodologies, and expenditures. Our insights are based on independent, objective viewpoints which have been validated by our experience with other organizations and business sectors.

How Can CATTAN Put Its Logistics & SCM Experience to Work for You?

Our familiarity with defining logistics processes as related to supply chain management practices allows us to know where to look and what to look for when analyzing an operation. We use that knowledge to help our clients identify specific problems as well as opportunities, followed by a recommended course of action to address them.

CATTAN has an excellent track record in guiding organizations toward their supply chain management goals and logistics objectives and in providing value-added counsel and advice. We are not just purchasing, inventory, traffic, or warehousing consultants but are true logistics and supply chain synthesizers.
