DFF International Transport and Distribution Consultancy

DFF INTERNATIONAL provide distribution-related consultancy services to manufacturers, service companies and transport operators to help them to solve specific problems or to improve operations and reduce costs.

Management Consultants are usually used for one of three reasons.

●  Because the company’s own management cannot spare time from the business to find the solution.

●  Because the Consultants have specific experience and knowledge which is relevant to the problem.

●  Because an experienced outsider can often identify solutions more clearly than someone immersed in the business.

DFF INTERNATIONAL is staffed by experienced line managers from a variety of transport and logistics backgrounds. This means that, for any problem in this area, we can provide a consultant who can quickly understand the task using relevant experience.

As we specialise only in this area of business, we can hold up to date, detailed information on both the supply and operations markets. We also have a large number of specialist national and international associates on whom we can call for detailed input.

The areas of our experience which are regularly used by UK Own Account and Hire or Reward operators, can be summarised as:

●  Transport and Distribution Operations

●  Vehicle Acquisition and Maintenance

●  Warehouse Design and Operations

●  Transport Costs and Accounting

●  Workshop Operations and Costs

●  Marketing and Tender Preparations

The starting point in any project is for one of our consultants to visit you to hear about your area of concern and to understand the type of project that you might have in mind. Assuming that there is some complexity in the project, we might then suggest a free survey without commitment. We would, then, spend several hours with you gathering information and further understanding. Based on this we will prepare a detailed proposal, fully costed, explaining exactly what your company would get from the project.

During the project we work closely with your management to ensure that they fully support our developing conclusions and that, when our final report is prepared, the findings are fully workable and provide a valuable contribution to your business.

Should any of the suggested areas be a source of concern, now or in the future, please contact Brian Fish : brianfish@dffintl.co.uk, at our Bristol Office to arrange a meeting.
