> Outbound Logistics.

As ESG compliance obligations are being introduced into governmental legislation, it's impacting the automotive supply chain. As OEMs take actions to reduce their emissions using ESG metrics, they must include the actions of those in their supply chain. This means suppliers will need to undergo an ESG self-assessment questionnaire, and take relevant actions for its compliance.

Our expertise in this area can help you confidently navigate through the many layers and apply what's needed, where, quickly and efficiently.

Despatch stock management is a difficult balance between holding surplus warehouse stock and wasted costs, or limited stock which makes meeting customer demands difficult.

Despatch stock management is all about finding a happy medium between customer satisfaction and capital preservation. Our team have developed robust systems, processes and tools to ensure managing stock levels both meet performance and demand targets, while minimising inventory costs.

Contracts spell out needs for special handling, often driving the requirements for specialist repeat-use packaging and transportation cradles.

Reverse logistics is the return of specialist packaging and cradles from their end destination within the manufacturing plant back along the supply chain. As an expensive Tier 1 resource and essential to the outbound logistics process, it’s essential you have visibility on the packaging and cradles through the supply chain cycle.

There may be extensive transport and logistics savings to be made, whether it's shipping too many part loads instead of full loads, other consequences of your supply chains not being optimised.

Although outbound vehicle logistics costs represent a small fraction of your total costs, they negatively affect the bottom line. Our experience will help identify potential savings through working smarter, not necessarily providing lower cost transportation services.
