Supply Chain & Logistics Digital Transformation

Build a Supply Chain Control System, Not Just Another Dashboard

Houranium helps operators and executives improve end-to-end visibility, OTIF, inventory health, and cost-to-serve through pragmatic digital transformation across data, systems, and execution teams.

Change, Adoption & Governance

Transformation Focus

Control Tower Operating Layer

Visibility

Milestone events, service-risk alerts, exception queues, root-cause tracking

Execution

WMS/TMS/ERP handoffs, SOP redesign, throughput and dispatch decision support

Governance

KPI definitions, ownership cadence, escalation rules, adoption playbooks

Consulting Mode

Advisory + execution support. Strategy is translated into backlogs, delivery checkpoints, and operating routines.

About

Operator-grade transformation, built for execution

I work at the intersection of operations and technology, helping supply chain organizations turn fragmented processes and disconnected systems into measurable performance improvement. The focus is not transformation theater. It is durable execution.

Cross-network visibility

Ports, warehouses, carriers, planners, and customer service connected through shared signals.

Data trust

Clear definitions and event logic that make metrics actionable.

System pragmatism

Improve what exists before replacing what still works.

Change adoption

Operational routines and ownership that persist after rollout.

What I’m known for

  • Turning KPI debates into an operating cadence with clear owners and thresholds
  • Designing control towers that support decisions, not just reporting
  • Fixing integration bottlenecks across ERP, WMS, TMS, OMS, and partner data
  • Balancing automation ambition with frontline usability and adoption
  • Translating executive priorities into sequenced, delivery-ready roadmaps

Services

High-impact transformation workstreams

Engagements are structured to create measurable operational improvements quickly, while leaving behind stronger systems, governance, and team capability.

8-14 weeks

Supply Chain Visibility & Control Tower

Problem: Leaders lack a trusted, cross-functional view of service risk, constraints, and exceptions across network nodes.

Approach: Map decision moments, define exception logic, unify event and master data, and design role-based workflows for planners, operations, and customer service.

Deliverables

  • Control tower blueprint and KPI model
  • Event ingestion and data model specs
  • Exception management workflows
  • Adoption plan and operating cadence
6-12 weeks

WMS / TMS / ERP Optimization & Integration

Problem: Core platforms exist, but process friction, poor interfaces, and manual workarounds reduce service and inflate cost.

Approach: Diagnose process breaks, redesign integration patterns (API/EDI), harden master data ownership, and prioritize changes with measurable operational impact.

Deliverables

  • Integration and process pain-point assessment
  • Target-state interface architecture
  • Backlog of optimization opportunities
  • Pilot release plan and KPI tracking
8-10 weeks

Network & Inventory Optimization

Problem: Service targets and working capital are out of balance due to static policies, poor segmentation, or weak scenario planning.

Approach: Create a data-backed segmentation model, model scenarios for service/cost tradeoffs, and define policy changes for inventory, replenishment, and transport.

Deliverables

  • Inventory policy segmentation
  • Scenario analysis for service vs. cost
  • Recommended target stock and network actions
  • Implementation roadmap with ownership
4-8 weeks

Process Mining + Automation (RPA)

Problem: Teams spend time on repeatable exception handling, rekeying, and status chasing across systems and partner touchpoints.

Approach: Use process mining to identify high-friction paths, then automate low-risk steps with human-in-the-loop controls and exception visibility.

Deliverables

  • Process mining findings and bottleneck map
  • Automation candidate pipeline
  • RPA design specs and controls
  • Benefit tracking baseline
5-9 weeks

Data Strategy & KPI Operating System

Problem: Metrics exist everywhere, but definitions vary, trust is low, and teams cannot move from reporting to action.

Approach: Define a KPI dictionary, measurement logic, owner cadence, and escalation thresholds linked to decision rights and operational rituals.

Deliverables

  • KPI dictionary and data definitions
  • Executive and operational scorecards
  • Ritual calendar and governance model
  • Analytics roadmap

Case Studies

Anonymized outcomes from complex logistics environments

Examples below reflect typical transformation patterns and measurable results achieved through combined process, systems, and operating-model improvements.

Global FMCG

Challenge: Regional planners and transport teams were operating from conflicting reports, driving late exception response and expediting spend.

Solution: Designed a control tower model for order-to-delivery visibility with role-based alerts, OTIF root-cause slicing, and a weekly service recovery cadence.

Stack
SAP ERPBlue Yonder WMSTMSSnowflakePower BIEDI
Results
  • -12% logistics cost-to-serve
  • +8pp OTIF
  • -31% expedite shipments
  • 2-day faster exception triage

Before

Lagging reports, inconsistent OTIF definitions, email-driven escalation.

After

Single KPI logic, live exception queues, cross-functional control tower rituals.

3PL

Challenge: Warehouse and transport handoffs were manually coordinated across customers, creating charge disputes and poor dock throughput.

Solution: Redesigned integration and event tracking between WMS/TMS, standardized milestone statuses, and implemented operational dashboards with SLA alerts.

Stack
Manhattan WMSOracle ERPTMSAPIsPower BIRPA
Results
  • +14% dock throughput
  • -22% manual status updates
  • -17% invoice disputes
  • +11pp on-time pickup

Before

Manual rekeying between systems and inconsistent shipment milestones.

After

Automated milestones, SLA alerts, and cleaner operational handoffs.

Omnichannel Retail

Challenge: Inventory was tied up in slow-moving nodes while priority SKUs experienced recurring stockouts and volatile fulfillment cost.

Solution: Built SKU-location segmentation and scenario models, aligned replenishment policies, and introduced a service/cost review cadence tied to OTIF and margin.

Stack
ERPOMSWMSSnowflakePython ModelsPower BI
Results
  • -18% inventory
  • +6pp in-stock on priority SKUs
  • -9% split shipments
  • Working-capital release in first quarter

Before

Uniform policy across SKUs and channels with limited scenario testing.

After

Segmented policies and decision cadence tuned to service and margin targets.

Testimonials

Trusted by operators who need results, not slideware

Houranium brought operational credibility and technical discipline. The control tower program moved from concept slides to working routines the teams actually used.
