Supply Chain Transformation Advisory Partners

What Supply Chain Transformation Advisory Partners does

Supply Chain Transformation Advisory Partners (SCT Advisory) is a privately held, U.S.-based boutique advisory firm founded in 2020 and headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with additional offices in Florida, Illinois, and Oregon. The firm provides vendor-neutral supply chain transformation consulting to enterprise clients, organized across three service pillars: Advisory Services (supply chain strategy, opportunity assessments, transformation strategy, organizational development, IT strategy, and automation strategy), Strategic Services (sourcing excellence, transportation excellence, warehousing and distribution excellence, and asset performance optimization), and Consulting Services (operations consulting, facilities and automation design, and technology consulting including system selections and control tower design). SCT Advisory does not build or resell software; instead, it monetizes senior-executive-led advisory engagements covering planning, transportation management, warehousing, order management, automation, and supply chain control tower design, with expertise across Enterprise Planning, IBP, OMS, TMS, WMS, WES, Labor Management, Control Towers, Digital Twins, Modeling, and AI/ML-enabled supply chain solutions.

The firm is led by Managing Partner Matt Butler (25+ years), Partner Scott Saunders (30+ years at Fortune Brands and HAVI/McDonald's), Strategy Practice Leader Steven Lustig (25+ years), Chief Revenue Officer Mark Dorn (40+ years), Warehousing Practice Leader Victoria Brown (15 years; Nike, P&G, FritoLay, Blue Yonder, Infios), and Transportation Practice Leader Jim Nortz (25+ years in 3PL and TMS), supported by an advisor network including former President of Ryder Supply Chain Solutions Gene Tyndall. Customer logos span industrial automation (ABB), 3PL/freight (DB Schenker, Uber Freight, Pegasus, Americol), retail/grocery (Kroger, The RealReal), CPG/food (Kellanova), SaaS (Cin7), and education (Kaplan). Revenue mechanics are quote-based professional services fees billed against strategy, assessment, selection, and program management engagements; the firm embeds subject-matter experts within client organizations rather than delivering from offshore. SCT has assembled a partner ecosystem spanning consulting (Tompkins Ventures, Netlogistik, Plantensive, Thruput, Connors, MFC) and technology innovation (SVT Robotics, Transfix, Paccurate, PorterLogic, Labor AI, Cycle Labs, Autoscheduler, Sendflex, Matilda, Mashtank), and has expanded AI capability through a strategic partnership with NextGen Invent.

It competes for the same enterprise transformation programs as SCT but at vastly greater scale and with global delivery capability.

• Gartner Supply Chain Practice: Gartner provides research, benchmarking, and advisory for supply chain executives — overlapping with SCT's strategy and technology selection work, particularly at the assessment and roadmap stages of transformation.

Direct peers

• Plantensive: Plantensive provides supply chain and operations consulting across planning and execution — listed as a partner in SCT's ecosystem and competing for the same enterprise transformation advisory work.

Emerging players
