Frequently Asked Questions about the Interim Logistics Director
In what situations should you bring in an interim Logistics Director?
An interim Logistics Director is called in when the existing director departs suddenly, during a supply crisis, when the distribution network is being reorganised, or when a logistics service provider is being changed. At Delville Management, these profiles cover inbound and outbound logistics, transport, warehousing, and 3PL provider management, across a range of sectors including manufacturing, retail, food and beverage, and e-commerce.
What fees should you expect for an interim Logistics Director?
The daily rate for an interim Logistics Director typically ranges from €900 to €1,500, depending on experience, the complexity of the logistics network, and the nature of the assignment. For assignments involving international logistics or a multi-site supply chain, this range may be adjusted. At Delville Management, the fee is determined during the briefing phase, taking into account the scope and objectives of the assignment.
How is the handover managed at the end of an interim Logistics Director assignment?
The exit is planned from the outset. The manager documents the optimised processes, transfers logistics dashboards, and supports the successor in taking over relationships with service providers. For assignments that have involved a change of 3PL provider or a network reorganisation, this handover phase is particularly critical to ensure operational continuity.
Can an interim Logistics Director work in the regions or internationally?
Yes, Delville Management has offices in the main French logistics hubs — Paris, Lyon, Lille, Nantes, Toulouse, Strasbourg — as well as internationally. For assignments involving cross-border flows or logistics platforms across Europe, the firm selects profiles with experience in the relevant markets and a command of customs and international transport regulations.
