About Us
Our Mission
Warehousing, distribution, fulfillment, whatever the specific field may be - more often than not it is an afterthought for most companies. Between marketing, sales, regulatory compliance, product development, and a whole host of other worries, it seems it's always assumed that getting the product from the shelf to the customer is simple. Quite frankly, it should be, and that's why Jacobs Consulting exists: to take the headache out of your warehousing operation and let you focus on things that drive the needle, whatever that may be.
Robert Jacobs
I have a strong technical background in data analysis and SAP and have led IMS/WMS implementations for InFlow, Skuvault, and ShipHero; however, I also have over a decade of real-world warehousing experience where I've led teams ranging from 80+ members in Fortune 100 distribution centers, to 3PL's looking to modernize their practices and systems half-way across the world, to small companies looking to start tracking their inventory for the first time in ~3000 sq. ft. operations. While I emphasize data-driven thinking and enjoy building out dashboards to track KPI's and getting into the granular details to reach the best strategy for a client, I also know that the people are the determinant of the success or failure of any warehousing project - so I also focus on coaching and developing management staff and leaders to make the team as cohesive as possible.
