Logistics consulting for Canadian shippers, 3PLs, and distribution operators.
CSMG helps Canadian logistics organizations make sharper decisions about network, carriers, and operations. Senior partners run every engagement — in the Vancouver-area DC, on the dock, and inside the data — to turn supply chain complexity into measurable cost and service gains.
Where we create value.
Canadian logistics is shaped by a sparse network, a small number of major gateways, and cross-border dependence. Network footprints set for the 2010s don't fit 2026 demand patterns, carrier relationships are being reset, and customers expect tighter promises with thinner inventory behind them. Every node in the chain is being re-priced.
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with operating teams — modeling the Canadian network, walking the DC, sitting in on carrier negotiations, and pressure-testing the 3PL contract before it gets signed. The deliverable is a decision the leadership team is ready to act on, not a study.
Every engagement is led by a senior partner with operating experience inside transportation, distribution, and rental businesses, based in Vancouver and available to teams across BC and Canada.
