Keyan has been an excellent partner for us on all projects. In particular, we recently completed a switch of 3pls in the EU, and he led this process start to finish including sourcing candidates, vetting prospective 3pls, and negotiating rates. We just kicked off the same process in the AU and UK as well.
He does a great job of fully understanding our needs and pivoting as necessary to best meet our goals. It never feels like working with a 3rd party, but more like a fractional ops lead on any project we have.
I highly recommend Keyan and his team for any supply chain needs.

I started Iron Margin after seeing the same shipping cost problems across multiple businesses: brands trapped in bad contracts, 3PLs reselling marked-up rates, and zero leverage to negotiate better terms.
Most shipping consultants show up with a rate sheet, take their cut, and disappear. That approach burns carrier relationships and leaves you worse off by Year 3.
I manage your carrier relationships over multi-year timelines, negotiate sustainable contracts, and run the same structured RFP process enterprise shipping teams use, applied to mid-market shippers who don't have an in-house logistics team.
