This niche is one of the more exposed areas of consulting because it is highly structured, data-driven, and relies on deterministic optimisation logic. AI already excels at route optimisation, load planning, warehouse layout modelling, and last-mile distribution analytics. Deliverables are typically models, dashboards, and reports, which can be generated by AI-enabled tools. Human defensibility remains in stakeholder buy-in, balancing trade-offs between cost, service levels, and resilience, and managing implementation complexity across organisations.

Logistics & Distribution Optimisation scores 68, placing it at the upper end of medium risk and on the threshold of high disruption risk. AI tools are already strong at automating logistics optimisation, leaving human consultants mainly defensible in change management, cross-functional alignment, and tailoring solutions to complex real-world constraints. Significant opportunities remain to leverage AI for innovation and differentiation within this category.
