About Gavin Douglas

Senior IT consultant & enterprise architect.

22+ years delivering complex ERP, WMS, MES, and digital transformation projects across logistics, pharma, manufacturing, and professional services — operating as an independent ZZP consultant through LeanLogix Innovations from Hilversum, Netherlands.

I've worked across the full enterprise technology stack — from PLC and SCADA on the shop floor to ERP and cloud platforms at the enterprise layer. That breadth is rare, and it's what allows me to design solutions that actually work end-to-end, not just on paper.

  • ⚖️
    Vendor-independent advice
    No reseller agreements, no referral fees. I recommend what's right for your situation — including when an existing system is good enough.
  • 🎯
    Architecture to execution
    From solution design through to go-live — I stay with the project, not just the proposal.
  • 🔗
    IT & OT bridging
    Rare capability spanning enterprise software and industrial systems — MES, PLC, SCADA alongside ERP and cloud.
  • 💬
    Honest communication
    Problems get surfaced immediately, not in a retrospective after go-live.
