Challenge
Legrand faced several logistical challenges managing the delivery of their cable management systems. They needed to efficiently transport raw materials to their manufacturing facilities and distribute the finished products to their national distribution centre.
Additionally, delivering out-of-gauge lengths of up to 6 metres to various electrical distributors and construction sites nationwide requires a specialised and reliable delivery service.
Real-time tracking and proof of delivery were essential for maintaining transparency and accountability. Meeting stringent delivery timelines and ensuring high performance were also critical to avoid any disruptions in their supply chain.

- Feeding the National Distribution Centre: we ensured the efficient transportation of manufactured products from Legrand’s two manufacturing facilities to their national distribution centre.

- Performance Monitoring: Weekly performance reports are provided to Legrand, ensuring continuous improvement and accountability.
