About Kineo Advisory

We fill a gap that most firms don’t.

Companies making expensive supply chain decisions usually choose between two kinds of help. Large consultancies that arrive with a method and a team of juniors, or providers who advise for free because they are selling something at the end of it.

Neither is much use when the numbers have to hold. We are small and intend to stay that way. Every engagement is run by the person who scoped it — so you get senior attention, direct answers, and work you can put in front of a board without rewriting it first.

How We Work

Five principles. No exceptions.

01

Independent

No commissions, no referral fees, no rebates from carriers, forwarders or software vendors. Our advice costs a fee and nothing else.

02

Senior Only

The people who scope the work do the work. You get the person you met, not someone they manage.

03

Numbers Attached

Every recommendation carries the cost, the saving, the risk and the effort. Opinions without figures are not our business.

04

Clear About Uncertainty

We separate what is known from what is estimated and what is still open.

05

Discreet

Most of what we do never carries our name, and that suits us.

What We Do

Three ways we work.

Some clients come to us for an answer, some for a decision, and some for the hands to see it through.

Research & Market Studies

Independent research on markets, trade lanes and operators, in a form you can put in front of a board.

Starts with a scoping call, then a fixed-fee proposal. Most studies run two to six weeks.

Logistics Advisory

Practical advice on how your goods move, what it costs, and what to change first.
Starts with a 2–3 week diagnostic on your own data.

Value Chain Advisory

Where value is created along your chain, where it leaks, who controls what, and what to do about it.

Starts with a mapping exercise on one product line.

Get in Touch

Tell us what you are deciding.

We will tell you plainly whether we can help. If it is not our work, we will say so. First conversations cost nothing and stay between us. We will sign an NDA before you share anything material.
