Bluepeak Logistics: Finding 21% Growth
Consulting
medium45 min0 submissionsBain
Scenario
Bluepeak Logistics (logistics, Southeast Asia) has grown at 2% a year for three years. The new CEO has committed the board to 21% growth — a gap of roughly $89 M of incremental revenue in year one.
What we know.
- Current revenue: $467 M
- 3430 active customers
- Annual customer churn: 13%
- Estimated share of existing customers' relevant spend: 21%
- The core market is growing at 2% — so the company is roughly holding share
The CEO's instinct is to enter a new geography. The CFO thinks the answer is in the existing base. Nobody has yet sized either.

Hint
Reveal suggested structure
Decompose growth into five sources and size each:
- Retention — reducing 13% churn
- Penetration — raising 21% share of wallet
- New customers in existing segments
- New products to existing customers
- New geographies or segments
Score on size, speed, cost and risk. The first two are usually cheapest and fastest; the last is usually slowest.
