Trusted by Industry Leaders
Real results from supply chain and logistics teams who've partnered with Avance to transform their operations.
"Avance transformed our last-mile operations entirely. The AI route planning implementation cut our cost-per-delivery by 31% within three months — results we simply couldn't have achieved internally."
"The supply chain resilience consulting Avance delivered during our China supplier restructuring was exceptional. Their scenario modelling gave our board the confidence to commit to a Vietnam-Mexico dual-sourcing strategy."
"Our omnichannel fulfilment accuracy jumped from 91% to 99.2% after implementing Avance's distributed order management framework. The multi-warehouse coordination system paid for itself inside six months."
"Avance's trade compliance team navigated our India market expansion with zero customs delays. Their real-time visibility platform gave us end-to-end shipment tracking we'd never had before across multimodal routes."
"The warehouse automation roadmap Avance built us was exactly what we needed — no vendor bias, just rigorous ROI analysis. We selected the right AMR system and hit payback in 18 months instead of the projected 24."
"Their ESG and fleet electrification planning gave our sustainability team credible data to present to investors. Avance bridged the gap between operational reality and the ambitious targets our board had set."
