A multinational manufacturer of differentiated chemicals required a single logistics service provider to manage global ocean freight volumes in excess of 50,000 TEUs annually. Agility implemented a regional control tower solution with global lead tower oversight to ensure consistent visibility, compliance and performance management. The solution also delivered systems integration, procurement leverage and drove continuous improvement.

With three manufacturing sites at the extremities of Europe, this specialty products business wanted to implement a true 4PL solution with total cost transparency. The cloud-based, integrated TMS solution was configured quickly to handle hazardous and non-hazardous, bulk and packed, FCL and LCL cargoes optimizing service and efficiency, while also driving significant cost savings. Following successful implementation, the 4PL TMS solutions is now being rolled out to other division across Europe all managed from a single control tower.

The site produces more than 5.4 million liters per annum. Agility manages all the site logistics, and inbound, intermediate and outbound handling. Agility’s WMS is fully integrated with the plant and manages inventory to meet the demanding outbound export order schedule.

Agility’s experienced network modelling consultants using their chemicals sector experience, analytical skills and networks modelling software to halve the number of warehouses to 16 and reduce total costs by 10% while maintaining service levels.
