With supply chain resilience and ESG performance now defining competitive advantage, James Ross Consulting has been named a winner at the Consultancy Awards 2025 for its ground-breaking impact on packaging and logistics optimisation.
The award recognises the success of its proprietary platform, PackDevPro (PDP), a data-led tool that’s helping global businesses unlock hidden savings, reduce carbon emissions, and build smarter, more sustainable supply chains. The results are compelling: clients using PDP have cut truck usage by an average of 14%, saving millions in freight costs and eliminating thousands of unnecessary road miles. To date, the consultancy has helped deliver more than €150 million in verified savings.
Developed in-house by James Ross Consulting’s specialist packaging engineers and supply chain experts, PackDevPro models real-time performance across palletised supply chains. It generates heat maps and simulations to pinpoint inefficiencies, from warehouse layout and product handling to transport configuration that would typically remain hidden in spreadsheets or outdated specs.
Where traditional packaging tools focus on materials or cost-per-unit, PackDevPro takes a systemic view, showing how packaging impacts the entire supply chain, and how to improve it. For operations, supply chain, and R&D teams, it unlocks measurable ESG gains while enhancing speed, resilience, and efficiency.
“This award is a testament to the strength of applied science and technology in solving real business challenges. Our clients are under pressure to do more with less; less cost, less waste, less complexity. PackDevPro gives them the clarity and speed they need to make strategic decisions with confidence.” said Ross Collins, Director at James Ross Consulting.
With global supply chains under strain from trade uncertainty, packaging regulations, and rising demand for sustainable solutions, James Ross Consulting offers a rare combination of deep technical expertise and future-focused thinking; turning packaging from a sunk cost into a source of value.
