YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Designing Resilient Networks Across an Island Economy
- The 7,641-island archipelago requires sea and air links between markets; uneven sailing schedules, port capacity and weather disruptions complicate inventory planning.
- YCP maps lane economics, demand and service requirements to redesign hub-and-spoke networks, set inventory buffers and select resilient multimodal partners.
Keeping Urban and Port Flows Moving Reliably
- Metro Manila had 13.5 million residents in the 2020 census, concentrating demand as truck restrictions, congestion and port delays disrupt delivery windows.
- Building on this reality, YCP models flows by time and location, optimizes warehouse and transport footprints, and prioritizes practical congestion workarounds.
Turning Fragmented Logistics Data into Control
- The Philippines scored 3.3 and ranked 43rd of 139 economies in the 2023 Logistics Performance Index, highlighting gaps in tracking, reliability and coordination.
- To close these gaps, YCP assesses control towers and partner data, defines service KPIs, and sequences digital tools around measurable operational gains.
Scaling Last-Mile Delivery Without Eroding Margins
- Philippine e-commerce GMV reached US$16 billion in 2023; rising parcel volumes raise the stakes for last-mile coverage, returns and profitable delivery.
- Against this growth, YCP segments customer and channel needs, designs delivery and returns models, and builds business cases for scalable capacity.
