"Our first project (with NLA) was a Network Optimization Project to reposition our warehouses and transportation modes to meet our cost and customer service goals. NLA's experience in the area of transportation cost and warehouse mapping helped us quickly narrow the scope of locations. NLA conducted a detailed analysis, strategic guidance, and a plan for Nukote to realize savings of $2M. I would recommend the NLA team to any company who is looking for real and tangible results."
