Independent logistics advice. Not a forwarding product.

LOGISTICS ADVISORY PTY LTD is a Queensland consultancy. We read freight cost, import-export design and warehouse networks for importers, manufacturers and distributors, then leave you with a decision you can defend. We do not sell trucks, sheds or ocean space.

Door-to-door cost Lane and Incoterms Node choice Contestable 3PL Named holds

What this practice does

Rebuild a door-to-door cost baseline from invoices and volumes
Design import and export programs that match Incoterms to the physical move
Test one-node versus two-node warehouse designs against service, not rent
Run a contestable 3PL or freight selection without a favoured incumbent
Put customs process, concentration risk and hold response on one page

Practice areas

What we will not sell you

Our own trucks, warehouses or ocean allocations
A rate card dressed up as a strategy
A second office that does not exist
A commission from the supplier you appoint
A staff directory or a sales overlay

The firm

Five files, one practice

Start with the question you actually have to answer. The rest of the work follows from that, not from a catalogue of products.

Supply chain review and cost optimisation

Where the money sits once you stop looking only at the base rate.

Open 02

Import and export logistics advisory

Lanes, documents, brokers and inland haulage treated as one program.

Open 03

Warehouse and distribution network design

How many nodes, where they sit, and what that does to service.

Open 04

3PL and freight supplier selection

A contest, a scorecard that matches the work, a contract you can manage.

Open 05

Supply chain compliance and risk

Holds, concentration and the failure that would actually stop you.

Six notes from the practice

Australian freight, customs and network design.

Where freight cost actually sits

Line-haul is the visible part. Detention, storage and booking discipline usually are not.

Importer obligations and ABF

The declaration sits on the importer, even when a broker lodges it.

Supply chain risk after the last disruption

A hedge that cannot name its failure mode is a comfort purchase.

What a 3PL contract should actually say

If the data sits only with the supplier, you do not have a contract you can exit.

Inventory is a transport decision

Buffer stock in the wrong node is not a buffer. It is an invoice.

Incoterms that match the physical move

Copying FOB from the last purchase order is not a logistics program.
