Cloud Software, Implementation and Optimisation Services for Warehouses
Andrew J Clark – “The Logistics Optimiser” Founder of Logistics Cloud Co.
Why I Started Logistics Cloud Co.
I started Logistics Cloud Co. to create a platform for a bigger impact in the world of logistics and supply chain where I have worked most of my career. My first (career) love has been warehousing since I worked at Baxter Healthcare as a lowly warehouse supervisor, driving forklifts, picking orders and making sure the hospitals got their stock on time. I also learned to bridge the gap between operations and IT to make sure the code they created worked on the warehouse floor.
Later I had the opportunity to work as a logistics consultant with the privilege of helping out (and learning from) many businesses from large global corporates to small startups.
Now I’m making what I have learned more accessible to more small and medium businesses who need the expertise and tools I have developed to perform at their best.
Recommendations for Andrew
We engaged Andrew to facilitate an RFP to identify suitable new 3PL. Considered mission critical for us we were working against very tight timelines. I was impressed with Andrew’s experience, insights and tenacity to engage with potential partners. Andrew spearheaded a thorough and objective evaluation and went above and beyond to ensure we obtained the best outcome. Andrew was transparent and honest throughout negotiations and delivered on his promises. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrew for similar engagement.
Andrew was recommended to Vodafone to help advise on a major 3PL transition project. This project included business process redesign, ERP upgrade, demand planning system design & build, multiple warehouse transitions and clear budgets and timelines. Andrew was the lead on the project, and directed the transition, implementation and closure of the project activities. His ability to advise clear direction for success was valued and the project's success can be attributed to Andrew's expertise in all areas of supply chain. I highly recommend Andrew and if the opportunity came to engage Andrew's skill again, I would not hesitate.
I have known Andrew since 2001, he was invaluable in helping us manage our supply chain growth when I was GM at Clifford Hallam, and I can highly recommend him to any organisation in this industry who needs support with their logistics operations.
We thought we might have to move to a new site or build a mezzanine to cope with our growing level of activity. The new layout designed by Andrew from Logistics Help not only looks much better but has really improved our ability to process our orders faster with less handling effort. The extra storage has meant that we could delay the expense of building the mezzanine floor until we really need it and we now expect to be able to avoid the disruption and expense of relocating for some years. I thoroughly recommend Andrew to anyone looking to get more out of their existing facilities.
Andrew has performed a number of projects for us, most notably a warehouse set up and relocation where we brought all our stock in from a 3PL into a new site that Andrew set up for us. Andrew led the project which included design, fit-out, SAP WM implementation, staffing and running the warehouse for the first few months of operation. His experience and ability to bring all these elements together successfully was key to our ongoing success during a period of rapid growth.
Our business was suffering from crowded conditions and poor inventory control in our old store rooms above our shop. We needed a new warehouse and asked Logistics Help to help with the design and process improvement. The results speak for themselves - our online business tripled in 7 months!
Andrew undertook a logistics consultancy assignment for me when I was head of a government agency. This particular consultancy was undertaken at a high standard and the results exceeded my expectations. Although Andrew was working for another company at that time, it was very clear that Andrew was the person responsible for the excellent outcome. Andrew has a very good understanding of logistics and was able to understand, and respond to, our requirements . In my view the quality of that assignment was one of the best private sector consultancies undertaken for my agency during my eight years as CEO.
At Novo Nordisk we needed to know whether continuing our distribution in house was the right decision for the future. Andrew’s expertise in the pharma industry was exactly what we needed to help us run an independent RFP process. Andrew managed the process for us and presented the results which really helped everyone in the senior management team understand the value of our current operation compared to outsourcing and we are confident we made the right decision.
Recommending Andrew Clark as an outstanding consultant. His generous efforts and directions helping me to have a successful job interview and find a desirable career.
Andrew formed part of my team that undertook a review of the Logistics and Supply Chain operations at one of Carinya Group's clients.
His analysis was excellent and his insights were very valuable. He made a very significant contribution to the successful completion of this project.
Long Term Success Needs a Long Term Approach
We believe small and medium businesses need high level expert help over time to help them grow with the support of a highly efficient and effective warehousing operation. As an alternative to short term consulting projects we developed a Warehouse Optimisation Program where we have more skin in the game, and you don’t pay big fees up front for an uncertain outcome. If we don’t add value with measurable results, you can stop at any time.

Continuous Innovation
We’re in the thick of it with our clients. They keep us sharp, and we constantly improve our work to meet their evolving needs.
Why Now?
The pace of change is accelerating and it’s hard to keep up. Many businesses are working with old software to run their businesses. Their processes are analogue; dependent on people and paper, delivering slow and erratic service. If they don’t act soon, their business will be disrupted by newer, cheaper, faster businesses that scale rapidly because they work in the digital world.
The new businesses will take their customers away whilst they watch, powerless to respond. New strategies to serve your market better require the near limitless capability of modern cloud software.
The digital transformation of the customer-facing side of the business has leapt far ahead of the analogue operational capability of many businesses. A website and an old PC based accounting package is a recipe for pain, not progress. That’s where we come in. Your customers have upgraded their expectations. It’s time to upgrade the processes and systems that run your business and deliver your products to your customers.
