‘Multiple haulage strategy Ball Packaging, a leading beverage can producer, wished to move from reliance on one lead logistics provider to multiple haulage providers with the aim of reducing transport costs. The Consultancy Company reviewed their arrangements, benchmarked their costs and service levels, lead the initial re-tendering exercise and embedded a robust process so that Ball staff could tender remaining traffic lanes themselves; thus achieving a 15% saving on annual transport costs with no detriment on service and a de-risked operation not reliant on one provider. |
