Human Insight, Amplified: How We Cut Delivery Costs by 32% While Boosting Market Share

Human Insight, Amplified: How We Cut Delivery Costs by 32% While Boosting Market Share

A large logistics and delivery organization partnered with Thco to address rising delivery volumes, cost pressure, and operational fragmentation that were limiting growth and service quality. The transformation focused on redesigning network operations, automating highvolume workflows, improving real-time visibility, and embedding disciplined execution allowing leadership to scale profitably while maintaining service reliability.

The Challenge

The organization operated a complex, high-velocity delivery network supporting ecommerce, enterprise, and cross-border flows. Demand was growing rapidly, but execution struggled to keep pace.

Key challenges included:

  • Rising last-mile and fulfillment costs

  • Fragmented routing, tracking, and operations systems

  • Manual coordination across hubs and delivery partners

  • Limited real-time visibility into network performance

  • High workforce churn in frontline and operations roles

  • Inconsistent service levels impacting customer trust

Growth was available but execution inefficiency was eroding margin and reliability.

The Thco Approach

Thco was engaged to redesign execution across the logistics network combining senior operational expertise, custom technology, workforce enablement, and embedded operations support.


1. Network & Operations Diagnostic (Advisory)

Thco conducted a rapid diagnostic across routing, fulfillment, hub operations, customer support, and back-office processes to identify:

  • Cost leakage across the delivery network

  • Bottlenecks impacting speed and reliability

  • Manual coordination points slowing execution

  • Workforce capacity and planning gaps

This produced a prioritized execution roadmap focused on cost reduction, service reliability, and scalable growth.


2. Custom Automation & Systems Integration (Technology)

 Thco redesigned operational workflows and built custom automation to support high volume execution.

Key initiatives included:

  • Proprietary technology assisted route optimization and capacity planning

  • Integrated tracking across hubs, partners, and customers

  • Automation of dispatch, exception handling, and reporting

  • Real-time dashboards for network and executive leadership

This replaced reactive firefighting with predictive, data-driven control.


3. Workforce Enablement & Planning (Academy)

To ensure consistent execution at scale, Thco delivered targeted programs focused on:

  • Digital workflow adoption for operations teams

  • Clear role ownership across hubs and routes

  • Workforce planning to reduce churn and variability

  • Performance accountability tied to service outcomes

This improved execution consistency while reducing dependency on manual oversight.


4. Embedded Network Operations (Operate)

Thco assumed responsibility for selected network coordination, support, and backoffice functions applying standardized execution, performance tracking, and continuous optimization.

This stabilized operations and reduced cost volatility as volume scaled.

The result

Within six months, the organization achieved measurable improvements across growth, cost, and service quality.


Revenue & Growth
  • 23% increase in revenue, driven by higher service reliability and expanded capacity

  • Improved enterprise customer retention and contract expansion

Cost & Margin
  • 32% reduction in operating costs across targeted logistics functions

  • 55% reduction in manual operational workload

Market Share & Brand Strength
  • 15% increase in market share in priority delivery corridors

  • Improved brand perception driven by reliability and transparency

Operational Performance
  • 41% improvement in on-time delivery performance

  • Faster exception resolution and reduced service disruptions

  • Real-time visibility across the delivery network

  • Clear accountability embedded across operational workflows


Impact at a Glance

  • +23% increase in revenue driven by improved service reliability and capacity

  • –32% reduction in operating costs across routing, fulfillment, and support functions

  • +15% market share growth in priority delivery corridors

  • 41% improvement in on-time delivery performance

  • 55% reduction in manual operational workload


Why This Worked

This engagement succeeded because Thco treated logistics execution as a system, not a series of handoffs.

  • Strategy, technology, workforce, and operations were aligned

  • Automation reduced friction without reducing control

  • Workforce capability was upgraded alongside systems

  • Execution discipline was embedded into daily network operations

The result was scalable growth with improved margin and service quality.
