La logique des transports urbain
During this period, taking advantage of its position of intermediary between manufacturers and distributors, FM Logistic identified emerging trends regarding the acceleration of flows and the demands to reduce stocks in wholesale distribution.
A dedicated team is then set up and, in collaboration with its manufacturing clients and distributors, and a coordination service with added value, awarded with an innovation in logistics prize, is born: Deliveries from several manufacturers with compatible finished products and destined for the same distribution networks are pooled together, ideally leaving a shared site.
FM Logistic currently coordinates the largest pool in Europe:
Thanks to pooling flows, deliveries to wholesale warehouses are more frequent. This ensures that products are always on the shelves while reducing storage the requirements of stores.
Regular deliveries in full HGVs and a fixed delivery schedule allow the reliability of transport to be increased and routing costs to be controlled. Furthermore, this helps significantly to reduce CO2 emissions.
A solution that brings together the logistic and transport processes of several manufacturers and has been developed and improved on by FM Logistic since the start of this century.
