Twelve years of disciplined logistics expertise — built on data, executed by people, trusted by hundreds of clients.
Supply Chain Acumen LLC was founded in 2012 by logistics professionals who recognized that too many companies were leaving millions of dollars on the table through fragmented carrier relationships, poor freight visibility, and reactive supply chain management.
We built Acumen to change that equation — bringing enterprise-grade analytical capability to companies of all sizes, backed by owned assets and a carrier network that provides real capacity when it matters most.
Today, our team of 120+ professionals serves clients across manufacturing, energy, healthcare, retail, and government contracting — consistently delivering measurable cost reductions and service improvements with every engagement.
Every milestone reflects client trust earned through operational excellence and a relentless drive to improve.
Established by Todd Cavanaugh and Priya Menon as a freight consultancy, initially focused on carrier negotiation and route optimization for DFW manufacturers.
Acquired 20 Class 8 tractors and 40 trailers, transitioning from broker-only to an asset-based carrier with direct truckload and flatbed capabilities.
Opened a 160,000 sq ft distribution center in Fort Worth, enabling 3PL fulfillment, cross-docking, and inventory management services.
Launched a formal supply chain consulting division, bringing network design, TMS implementation, and S&OP advisory to enterprise clients.
Expanded to 150+ fleet units, 900+ clients, and regional operations in Dallas, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City. Workforce now exceeds 120 professionals.
These principles shape how we work with every client, carrier, and community member we interact with.
Every recommendation we make is backed by data. We don't guess — we measure, model, and verify before we advise.
We share the full picture — costs, trade-offs, and realistic timelines. Our clients make informed decisions because we give them complete information.
We own outcomes, not just deliverables. When performance falls short, we diagnose and fix it — without billing you for the correction.
Zero-incident operations are the goal. Driver training, vehicle maintenance, and DOT compliance are non-negotiable standards, not optional items.
We invest in TMS, predictive analytics, and AI-powered routing tools to stay ahead of freight market dynamics and deliver better solutions faster.
Southlake and DFW are our home. We actively support local workforce development, veterans in logistics, and sustainable freight practices.
