Free Supply Chain Consultant
Service Agreement
One botched inventory count or a missed shipping window will bleed your margins dry and leave you holding the bag for thousands in dead stock. Without a bulletproof contract, you're the one paying for a vendor's screw-ups while your reputation rots on a loading dock.
Pro Contractor Tip
Demand a 'Limitation of Liability' clause so a single lost freight container doesn't turn into a lawsuit that bankrupts your entire firm.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Supply Chain Consultant, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the client keeps adding 'quick favors' to my logistics audit?
Shut it down immediately by pointing to your Statement of Work; if it's not on the list, it requires a signed Change Order with a new price tag attached.
How do I ensure I'm not the one paying when a carrier loses a shipment?
Use your contract to define the exact hand-off points of responsibility, making it clear that your job is the strategy, not the physical insurance of the cargo.
The client is sitting on my final payment because the 'savings haven't kicked in' yet—now what?
Your agreement should tie payments to the completion of specific deliverables, not future performance metrics, so you get paid for the work you performed regardless of the market.
