Case Study: Houlihan Lokey achieves over 10% operating cost reduction and 25% improvement in service levels with anyLogistix

Enabling strategic vision through network design

Houlihan Lokey, a global investment bank specializing in capital markets and strategic consulting, was engaged to revitalize distribution for a leading North American healthcare distributor whose single-point manufacturing and distribution footprint was stretched across 2,000+ customer locations. The network faced East Coast capacity constraints, rising West Coast costs and expedited delivery demands, plus complexity from varied product manufacturing requirements and diverse customer demand profiles. Houlihan Lokey selected the anyLogistix platform to model the complex requirements and design a fit‑for‑purpose distribution network.

Using anyLogistix, Houlihan Lokey ran Greenfield analysis and scenario modeling on a year of transactional demand data to evaluate point‑to‑point and hub‑and‑spoke configurations, enforce customer/product service constraints, and test growth scenarios. The recommended design — including a new West Coast facility — delivered measurable impact: over 10% reduction in operating costs (primarily transportation), a 25% improvement in customer service within target shipping times, and clear ROI reporting for capital investments to stakeholders.
