Herman Supply Chain Solutions was founded on a simple premise: most logistics operations have significant, untapped savings — they just need someone who knows where to look.
Herman Supply Chain Solutions is an independent logistics consulting firm specializing in transportation cost reduction, operational efficiency improvement, and supply chain performance optimization. We serve companies ranging from regional distributors to national 3PL providers across food service, healthcare, retail, industrial, and e-commerce sectors.
Founded in 1994, our firm has completed over 200 operational engagements and recovered more than $180 million in transportation and labor savings for our clients. Our methodology combines forensic cost analysis with practical operational expertise — we don't just identify the problem, we stay until it's solved.
What makes Herman different is our willingness to go deep. We embed with your operations, learn your lanes, understand your drivers, and analyze your costs at the route and stop level — not from 30,000 feet. This ground-level perspective is how we find what others miss.
Our firm is led by logistics executives with hands-on experience running multi-state transportation networks, directing 3PL operations, and managing fleets of 500+ vehicles. Every engagement is led by a senior consultant with direct carrier, shipper, and operations management experience — not junior analysts learning on your dime.
We bring McKinsey-caliber analytical rigor with the street-level credibility that only comes from decades of actual logistics leadership. Our clients respect us because we've done the job ourselves.
We work across all sectors where ground transportation, last-mile delivery, and supply chain efficiency drive competitive advantage:
We measure our success by the savings you capture and the performance improvements you sustain — not by the size of our reports.
Every recommendation is grounded in data, benchmarked against industry standards, and validated before we commit to a number.
We speak the language of logistics because we've lived it. No translation needed between your team and ours.
Client data is sacred. We operate under strict confidentiality protocols and never share operational information across engagements.
We prioritize quick wins alongside long-term transformation. Most engagements identify initial savings within the first 30 days.
We build the systems and capabilities your team needs to maintain improvements after our engagement is complete.
