We work with haulage and logistics businesses on Mandata, Paragon and Microlise - and we speak plain English, not programme governance.
We take on a limited number of engagements each quarter.
Route, asset and delivery data fragmented across TMS, WMS and finance systems means planning is done on gut feel and experience rather than reliable data. When you cannot see fleet utilisation, load margin and customer performance in one place, the business is running blind on its most important decisions.
When efficiency numbers are calculated differently across depots or contracts, you cannot compare them reliably. You end up defending decisions in a board meeting with data you do not fully trust - or avoiding the conversation altogether.
Transport and warehouse management system decisions carry long implementation tails and significant operational disruption risk. Whether you are evaluating Mandata, Paragon, Microlise or any competing platform, vendor selection needs independent evaluation of operational fit before momentum builds - and before the contract is signed.
If you do not know your margin by contract with confidence, you are renewing at the wrong price or walking away from the right customers. Most logistics businesses find out at review time - which is too late to do anything about it.
Network expansion is easier to commit to than to operate. Adding depots or new contracts to an operation that is already stretched creates problems that compound quickly - and are expensive to unwind.
Fleet replacement, depot fit-out, and technology programmes in logistics are almost always more complex than the project plan suggests. Independent oversight keeps cost and timeline visible before the overrun becomes a board conversation.
The Business Review is a 2 to 4 week diagnostic that works around your depot schedule. It gives you a plain-English view of where operational, data and system risk is concentrated - and what to do about it in a sensible order. Most engagements are triggered by a TMS decision, a network expansion, or a major customer asking for data you cannot currently produce.
Follow-on work typically covers contract MI redesign, TMS or WMS selection support, and independent programme oversight for infrastructure or fleet change programmes. Scoped to the findings, not sold as a package.
"We were about to replace our TMS based on what the vendor told us. The Business Review showed us the problem was actually in how we were using the system we already had. Saved us a six-figure implementation."
"We had three depots and no reliable way of comparing performance across them. Within two weeks they had found the root cause and given us a fix we could actually implement. No jargon. No 50-page report. Just the answer."
In logistics, they often do - because the independent oversight is missing from day one. Assured Velocity provides the programme governance that keeps a TMS or WMS project on track, on budget and aligned to your operational requirements rather than the vendor's delivery plan. We have seen what goes wrong, and we stop it going wrong.
The Business Review takes 2 to 4 weeks with minimal disruption to day-to-day operations. It is structured to work around your depot schedule. The alternative is a TMS go-live, a network expansion or a major customer ultimatum that you were not ready for.

“We were about to replace our TMS based on what the vendor told us. The Business Review showed us the problem was in how we were using the system we already had. Saved us a six-figure implementation.”
“We had three depots and no reliable way of comparing performance across them. Within two weeks they had found the root cause and given us a fix we could actually implement.”
“Delivery was drifting. Within three weeks the programme had clear governance, a reset plan, and board confidence.”
“We could not tell which contracts were making money. The Business Review found the root cause in the pricing model. Fixed within a quarter.”
“Our IT project had already cost double the original budget. Assured Velocity stabilised it and got us to go-live on the reset plan.”
“Plain English, practical recommendations, and a realistic timeline. Exactly what this business needed.”

The right diagnostic depends on whether you have a specific concern or need a broader view across routes, systems, and margin.
