Savills USA | Supply Chain Solutions

Insight-Led Strategy. Tactical Execution Driving Positive Outcomes.

Backed by decades of cross-industry, real-world expertise, Savills brings a future-focused lens to every engagement—grounded not in theory, but in firsthand experience. Our supply chain advisors have walked in your shoes—many have led distribution, manufacturing, and logistics operations themselves. That means our recommendations are more than abstract models, they’re field-tested strategies built to perform under real-world conditions.

We combine this hard-earned operational insight with proven methodologies and advanced analytics to help occupiers align their industrial footprints with both current performance goals and long-term business strategy.

Whether you're scaling operations rapidly, navigating M&A-driven integration, or resolving inefficiencies from outdated infrastructure, Savills is uniquely equipped to guide your next move. We support occupiers across the entire journey—from strategic network design and site selection to design-build execution and solution implementation.

To thrive in today’s complex and fast-changing environment, your network must be agile, efficient, and resilient. Our Operations Strategy experts evaluate every facet of your supply chain to identify opportunities for competitive advantage, cost savings, and service-level improvement.

Through network optimization, location analytics, and scenario modeling, we align your operations and facilities with evolving business needs — from strategic expansion to omnichannel integration.

Typical engagements deliver 10–20% in operating cost savings and 20–40% improvement in service levels.

Network Optimization

Our network optimization process identifies operational cost savings and enhances service levels, unlocking greater value from your real estate. By combining network modeling, data analysis, and extensive supply chain expertise, we help you assess the cost, service, capacity, and productivity impacts of strategic expansion, realignment, or consolidation. We model your existing network as a baseline, then evaluate future-state scenarios that account for growth strategies, mode or channel shifts, potential M&A opportunities, and changes in product mix your client network may experience. Paired with our insights into real estate, labor, utilities, and economic development incentives, these scenarios empower you to make confident, informed location decisions.
