What distribution teams report after a route review
These accounts reference specific engagements, corridors, and outcomes. Names appear with client permission or in anonymized form where requested.
We brought Hazel Way in because our Suwon corridor consistently missed the 11:00 completion target despite showing adequate drive time on paper. The corridor study identified stop-sequence congestion through a market street we had not flagged internally. Reordering six stops recovered roughly one truck-day per week. The memo was direct—no filler paragraphs.

The depot handoff review was narrower than a full audit, which suited our budget that quarter. Min-jun's team found a 22-minute average gap on Tuesday inbound transfers at our Bupyeong depot. The cause was bay sharing with outbound staging—a local practice our network planners had never documented. We reallocated a bay within a month.

Kang presented to our regional directors in under two hours with charts we could hand around the table. The briefing did not replace a full audit—we still commissioned one afterward—but it gave leadership enough context to approve the field observation budget. One director asked whether the findings would hold for our Daegu corridor; Kang was honest that the briefing data covered Busan routes only.

The full audit took four weeks as quoted. Field days ran smoothly alongside our drivers. The written report ranked recommendations by estimated time recovery, which helped us prioritize. We have not yet implemented the third recommendation—dock negotiation with two anchor stores—because those conversations are still ongoing with retail partners.

Case account: Busan cold-chain corridor timing review
A pharmaceutical logistics firm operating along the Busan–Changwon corridor contacted us after morning runs repeatedly missed a 10:00 completion target. Internal analysis blamed driving time, but GPS segments showed drives within four minutes of estimates. The firm suspected dock waits but lacked separated timing records.
Our analysts rode four delivery days in January, logging temperature readings, driving segments, and dock wait periods independently. Driving averaged within plan. Dock wait averaged 19 minutes against a planned eight. Retail locations shared a single refrigerated dock occupied by larger grocery inbound shipments until 09:15 most mornings.
We charted planned versus observed stop times for twelve locations and presented findings at an executive briefing at the client's Busan office. The firm shifted depot departure 40 minutes earlier and opened staggered receiving negotiations with two anchor stores.
On a follow-up observation day three weeks later, completion times fell inside the 10:00 target on three of four runs. The client noted that staggered receiving remained unresolved at four smaller stores—a limitation we had flagged in the report's reservations section.
