worst part of being a consultant? Needing to use social media, it's all about marketing. I'd rather be building something than scrolling.

@typesfast who doesn't remember Moon shoes. Those were the best

@Reinfish Try Hermes. I am very impressed with that platform it can do some crazy things.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

Why bring on a consultant? Fresh eyes that don’t play politics or protect their own job. They’ll actually tell you the hard truths.

Big firms love buzzwords. I’m a solo operator who builds real systems in warehousing, retail, and food service.

Running operations audits now. Peak is coming fast — if you’re not prepping, you’re already behind.

Most 3PLs aren’t broken , they’re just carrying a lot of friction they’ve gotten used to.

Same headaches every day: late picks, constant firefighting, people working around broken processes.

The owners who reach out usually say the same thing: “I knew we could run better, I just didn’t have the outside eyes to see exactly where.”

That’s what the Fulfillment Turnaround Audit does. I come in, find the highest-impact fixes, and give you a short, prioritized list. No fluff. No 80-page report.

Taking on a couple more audits this month.

If you run a $5M–$25M 3PL and want the real blockers fixed, DM me.

@neerajjj6785 Get your process dialed in first. If you bring in clients/customers and your product sucks, then what is the point? Quality will always lead to long term growth

@boardyai as long as you listen and put the ego away. This will be your power story

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@cleanwithmike every industry is saturated! You are right though, the companies that got the basics done and their processes in place will always rise to the top.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@FlippedRay You have to start somewhere!

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@irentdumpsters A new fancy system will never help you grow, you need solid processes that are being followed. That is how you get REAL traction and growth.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@JoeWelstead That can be an expensive mistake. You can't do everything, so why not pay the people that can do what you cannot.

@oliverkenyon All my sites still run on the backbone of geocites!

@Seanfrank @rachcorrine Good thing I do not care about looking cool, since I am naturally cool. I prefer efficiency over looks everyday. Nothing beats a good backpack.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

I help mid-market 3PLs fix operational chaos and build systems that actually scale.

Most 3PLs hit a ceiling where their current workflows, labor models, and processes stop supporting growth. I work with leadership teams to restructure operations so they can scale profitably without breaking.

If you’re running a 3PL and growth is starting to feel painful, let’s talk.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

Having the right team around you is massive! This is going to be an amazing year. I'm revitalized right now! let's get after it.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@ChadCarleton Your son going to make a great manager someday!

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@ChadCarleton The social echo chambers we create for ourselfs is what seperates us.

[Ken Wicklein @KenWicklein]

@aaronrubin not at our warehouse. we're still getting Black Friday weekend like numbers. it's insane
