Our Services

  • Purpose

    Determine whether a broker exit is worth exploring.
    This assessment is a high-level qualifier, not a full diagnostic.

    What This Does

    • Screens for broker dependency

    • Evaluates high-level readiness

    • Identifies whether deeper analysis is justified

    What This Does NOT Do

    • Identify detailed process gaps

    • Prescribe technology

    • Recommend specific solutions

  • Purpose
    Develop a true, tailored understanding of your transportation operation before any solution is designed.
    This is the core consulting engagement.

    What This Involves

    • Stakeholder interviews across functions

    • Review of freight execution, decision rights, and controls

    • Process and workflow mapping

    • Evaluation of internal capabilities and constraints

    • Identification of operational, technical, and organizational gaps

    On-Site Component (Recommended)
    For organizations serious about insourcing transportation, IHFB strongly recommends on-site time to:

    • Observe real-world execution

    • Validate assumptions

    • Identify risks that do not surface remotely

    What You Get

    • A comprehensive diagnostic summary

    • Clear identification of gaps and risks

    • A tailored roadmap for next steps

    • Informed recommendations — not generic advice

  • Purpose
    Execute against the roadmap developed during the diagnostic.

    Scope May Include

    • Transportation org design

    • Process and SOP development

    • Carrier strategy and onboarding

    • TMS evaluation and implementation

    • Training and change management

  • For organizations that want continued strategic support as their network evolves.

    This is not outsourcing — it is disciplined, targeted advisory.
