Stalled or failing GXO implementations drain resources and threaten customer confidence. We rapidly assess the situation, stabilise operations, and rebuild a credible path to delivery.
Operator-led recovery for mission-critical logistics programmes.

Project Recovery
Project rescue engagements for GXO often surface deep-rooted issues in operational governance. Our approach focuses on re-establishing clear decision-making frameworks, effective communication channels, and measurable accountability to prevent future recurrence.
Rapidly diagnose project health, identify critical path blockages, and implement immediate measures to prevent further operational degradation or scope creep.
Develop a revised project plan with achievable milestones, re-establish governance structures, and oversee execution to restore confidence and forward momentum.
Prepare internal teams for long-term ownership, establishing robust monitoring, optimisation, and change management processes to ensure sustained success.
Why Cogent2
GXO is a mission-critical component of your retail architecture. When an implementation falters, it impacts every part of the organisation. We bring deep operational experience to rapidly dissect why your programme is failing and implement the necessary controls to get it back on track.

Logistics Perspective
For GXO project rescue, CogentAI provides an essential layer of intelligence, offering accelerated root cause analysis and proactive risk signalling. It helps us pinpoint where the GXO programme deviates from expected behaviour and where underlying integration failures are manifesting.
"When a GXO programme is in distress, every hour counts. CogentAI helps us cut through the noise, identify the true origin of the problem, and focus on effective recovery actions."
Predictive insights for GXO operational health and project stability
Capabilities
Our project rescue capabilities for GXO programmes are built on a framework of rapid assessment, targeted intervention, and robust re-planning. We address both the technical and organisational elements contributing to failure.
Connected Ecosystems
GXO is a critical node in a larger retail ecosystem. Project rescue involves understanding its interaction points with upstream and downstream systems to identify where failures propagate and how to isolate and fix them.

Operational Intelligence
When GXO programmes falter, the symptom often hides the cause. We analyse these common patterns from an operator perspective to get to the root of the issue.
Impact: Inaccurate stock positions lead to overselling, customer disappointment, and significant reconciliation effort.
Cogent Approach: We re-establish clear data ownership, define precise data transformation rules, and implement reconciliation protocols at each handoff point for GXO.
Impact: The critical GXO implementation becomes an unbounded project, delaying vital operational efficiencies and eroding ROI.
Cogent Approach: We freeze the current GXO scope, re-baseline the critical path, and implement a strict change request process with clear impact assessment for every proposed addition.
Impact: Unreliable data flow between GXO and other systems causes operational chaos, delays in fulfilment, and negative customer experience.
Cogent Approach: We audit the full GXO integration landscape, identify critical failure points, and propose a phased approach to re-architecting for reliability, often leveraging an iPaaS like Patchworks.
Impact: Even a well-implemented GXO system fails to deliver intended value if teams resort to old habits or operate incorrectly.
Cogent Approach: We embed with GXO operational teams to understand their pain points, refine workflows, and develop targeted training and communication plans that demonstrate clear benefits.
Deep Integration Expertise
Our team are not just consultants; we're former retail operators who understand the pressure behind a GXO implementation. We diagnose project failures by first understanding the operational and commercial impact, then tracing back to the technical and governance root causes.
Ecosystem Operators
Former Heads of Operations, Fulfilment Leads, Supply Chain Directors who ran large-scale GXO integrations.
Integration Architects
Specialists who design, build, and troubleshoot complex data flows in and out of GXO environments.
Decision Scientists
Analysts who interpret GXO data behaviour to identify anomalies, predict failures, and optimise operational flows.

Future-Ready Operations
A recovered GXO programme isn't just about fixing what's broken; it's about building resilience. We ensure your GXO system is not only stable but also positioned to use future innovations and handle increasing operational complexity.
This often involves reviewing the underlying data architecture, standardising data structures, and implementing observability tools. It's about turning operational data into actionable insights rather than just reactive problem-solving.
We prepare your GXO ecosystem for embedded intelligence, enabling predictive maintenance, dynamic routing optimisation, and smarter inventory placement, all critical for long-term growth and agility.
