Fractional VP of Logistics

Fractional VP of Logistics from TriAxis Consult gives your life science business senior logistics leadership without the permanent executive headcount. You gain a GDP-savvy partner who treats your products and patients with the same rigor a big-pharma logistics team would - only right-sized for an SME budget.

We provide logistics leadership consulting that strengthens how your internal team thinks and acts. That may mean redesigning roles, setting clearer expectations for planners and warehouse staff, or coaching quality and operations leaders on where logistics risks actually sit.

Strategic logistics planning is a core part of the engagement. We create a practical, multi-quarter roadmap that connects your growth plans - new indications, new sites, new geographies - to the transport and packaging capabilities you will need. You see not just what to fix now, but what to prepare for next.

On the ground, we bring operations management oversight. We review how orders are released, how shipments are packed, how exceptions are handled, and where delays start. Then we help your team adjust daily practices so service levels improve without burning people out.

Vendor relationship management often unlocks significant value. We assess your current carriers and 3PLs, tighten up service expectations, refine KPIs, and prepare you for more effective negotiations. The aim is simple: better performance, less fire-fighting, and spend that actually supports your risk profile.

Finally, we drive logistics performance improvement through clear metrics and simple routines. Together, we define the few KPIs that truly matter - on-time pick-up, excursion rate, complaint rate, cost per shipment - and establish a cadence for review and corrective action.

The result is an outsourced logistics leader who organizes the chaos, guides your team, and builds a scalable structure, while you keep your focus on science, commercialization, and patient outcomes.
