Transportation

Comprehensive consulting for the transportation industry

Transportation of people and goods has come a long way. And so has Roland Berger's expertise in this area. From our company's beginnings, we have been involved in shaping and advancing the industry.

Our Transportation, Logistics and Tourism Competence Center offers the concept of "Omni-transportation" that covers all passenger and logistics related industries, including aviation, shipping, public transportation, logistics, supply chain and tourism.

As the transportation industry undergoes major changes such as deregulation, privatization, mergers and acquisitions and alliances, as well as challenges and opportunities emerging for both new and old businesses, Roland Berger has always stood in the forefront of these significant changes and has been providing customers with innovative growth strategies and optimal operational performance. As competition intensifies and product differentiation becomes increasingly difficult in the transport and logistics industries, it is even more important to create effective alliances, service strategies, pricing and revenue management, sales plans and channel management in order to win market share.

As the market developed, many enterprises have realized the importance of creating effective internal supply chains and logistics support, as well as understanding how they can directly impact sales performance, customer satisfaction and revenue. Roland Berger creates value in the supply chain, including purchasing, production, and logistics. We offer comprehensive services to companies in manufacturing, retail and logistics industries.

The rising global importance of China as a tourist destination as well as a major exporter of tourists has brought unprecedented opportunities and challenges. While the industry is experiencing fast growth, it is also facing problems of homogenous competition and inefficient use of tourism resources. As far as tourism operators are concerned, the most important factors toward a sustainable future include the formation of differentiated products, effective channel development, and effective use of resources and integration of resources. Roland Berger has long been focusing on tourism and is committed to offering innovative strategies and operation optimization solutions.
