From Project Rescue to Product Launch

Updated Date: 12 June 2025

When logistics projects stall, mid-sized firms need more than code; they need calm, capable partners who can take them across the finish line.

It’s a hard truth in digital transformation: many logistics and supply chain tech projects don’t go to plan.

Timelines drift. Costs spiral. Deliverables stall.

And too often, the internal teams left holding the reins don’t have the time, or resources, to course correct.

If you’re a growing logistics business trying to build or modernize your tech stack, you’ve likely faced it already:

A vendor overpromises. A platform underdelivers. The “agile team” isn’t so agile.

And now the leadership wants answers and results.

This is where Cozentus comes in.

Not just to rescue your project, but to rebuild delivery momentum, stabilize execution, and get you back on track toward real outcomes.

The Reality: Most Tech Projects Don’t Succeed

The data is sobering, especially for companies in fast-moving sectors like logistics:

Only 31% of IT projects are considered successful, delivered on time, on budget, and with expected results. ¹
35% of project failures stem from lack of clearly defined deliverables and skilled delivery resources. ²
17% of large IT projects go so badly they threaten the very existence of the company. ³

For supply chain and logistics firms, the risks are amplified:

Systems are business critical.
Customers are time sensitive.
Delays mean operational disruption, not just missed deadlines.

Yet the biggest risk isn’t always failure. It’s stalling. Projects that drag on in limbo, burning budget without value, draining internal focus and morale.

The Cozentus Difference: Execution with Precision

At Cozentus, we specialize in delivery excellence, especially when the stakes are high.

Whether we’re brought in at kickoff or mid-crisis, our approach is grounded in clarity, calm, and technical leadership. We move fast, but we don’t cut corners.

Here's what sets us apart:

✅ Rapid Assessment – We start with a focused discovery sprint to identify where breakdowns are happening (people, process, tech, or all three).
✅ Delivery Stabilization – We embed expert delivery leads, business analysts, and engineers to replan, reprioritize, and reestablish velocity, often within the first two weeks.
✅ Transparent Governance – We establish real-world agile reporting, realistic expectations, and direct C-level communication, no smoke and mirrors.
✅ Domain Fluency – We bring deep logistics expertise to the table, so you don’t waste cycles onboarding generic consultants.

Real-World Rescue: A FreightTech Turnaround

One fast-scaling FreightTech platform came to Cozentus after burning through 9 months of development with an outsourced vendor, without a working MVP.

They had:

Missed two launch milestones
No usable codebase
Frustrated investors
Internal teams losing faith

We deployed a Cozentus core team (technical architect, scrum master, three developers, one QA) within 10 business days.

In the next 12 weeks, we:

Rebuilt the architecture
Defined a true MVP based on business outcomes
Delivered an integrated shipment quoting engine + carrier rate API
Established a delivery rhythm and reporting model they now use company-wide

The product went live 3 months later. The funding round closed 6 weeks after that.

Why Clients Call Us

Cozentus isn’t a vendor you “give work to.” We’re the team you bring in when it needs to be done properly.

Whether it’s:

A platform on the brink
A backlog no one can close
A roadmap no one can read
A delivery team in disarray

We don’t panic. We deliver.

Need to course-correct a digital project, or build one the right way from Day 1?

Let’s talk. You’ll find Cozentus to be calm, capable, and relentless about getting it right.
