FRACTIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN / LOGISTICS / TRANSPORT LEADERSHIP

Get the expertise of a part-time Director, without the overhead of a full-time hire on the ground.

Fractional Supply Chain / Logistics / Transport Leadership for US and international companies operating in Europe

Your growth changes the equation: flows become more complex, decisions become more strategic, and the organization you had in place in Europe starts showing its limits β€” often just as it becomes harder to manage from your US headquarters. Hiring a full-time Director on the ground isn't always the right answer, or the right moment.

STRANEXO's Fractional Supply Chain / Logistics / Transport Leadership lets you quickly access leadership expertise tailored to your needs and your pace, with someone based in Europe. Depending on your organization, this can take the form of a part-time Supply Chain Director, a part-time Logistics Director, or a part-time Transport Director.

I work alongside your leadership team to structure your organization, strengthen the management of your Supply Chain, logistics or transport, and durably improve the performance of your flows in Europe. Your company remains the sole principal and direct contracting party with its carriers; I do not act as a freight forwarder.

WHEN DOES THIS SOLUTION BECOME RELEVANT?

Not every company needs a full-time Supply Chain, Logistics or Transport Director on the ground in Europe. That said, certain stages of growth call for extra leadership support, without justifying an immediate hire.

πŸ“ˆ Supporting strong growth

Domestic, European, international: your providers keep multiplying without centralized management.

A key person leaves the company or is unavailable. You need leadership expertise to keep your operations running.

Client case

Initial situation: Within a manufacturing company, import operations management was scattered across several teams (accounting, procurement, warehouse, Supply Chain assistant), with no dedicated function and no consolidated view.

Diagnostic: No centralized import expertise, a scattered organization, unidentified extra costs.

Actions: Built an Import function, an Export function and a Transport function from the ground up. The Export function covered international sales strategy, structuring commercial offers, defining the right Incoterms for each target country, and regulatory analysis of target markets to secure entry into new markets. The Transport function covered negotiating air, road and ocean freight, for both import and export (pallet, parcel, integrators, international multimodal).

Results: Average margin improvement of 40% on international transport (FCL, LCL, air, rail) and 25% on LTL/FTL, across all import and export flows, measured over 12 months. Secured entry into new export markets through structured commercial offers and regulatory analysis of target countries.

Answers to the main questions about Fractional Supply Chain / Logistics / Transport Leadership.

Do you act as a freight forwarder?

No. I work only in advisory and management support. Your company remains the sole principal and direct contracting party with the carriers.

What's the difference between Fractional Leadership and a consultant?

A consultant typically works on a specific issue or a one-off assignment. Fractional Leadership supports your company over the long run, with a global view of your organization in order to structure it, coordinate it and help it progress.

What's the difference with the Transport expertise?

Transport is a targeted assignment aimed at analyzing a situation and supporting the implementation of improvement levers. Fractional Leadership consists of supporting the management of your organization over the long run, a few days a month.

Do you work full-time?

No. The principle is to adapt the time commitment to your company's real needs. A few days a month is often enough to bring leadership-level expertise, while keeping a high degree of flexibility.

Do you make the decisions instead of the company?

No. My role is to bring an outside view, contribute to the thinking, facilitate trade-offs and support the implementation of decisions. Strategic choices remain with your leadership team.
