Wincanton: ideas for transport
Wincanton has provided Panasonic with a consistent solution for transport across the UK, from containers to road and rail, improving service levels and reducing associated costs.
Key benefits delivered include:
-
A 9% reduction in costs through the utilisation of core fleet on inbound containers - sharing loads and double shifting vehicles.
-
Availability of off-quay container storage, reducing port demurrage costs.
-
A single point of contact across all transport - container, road and rail.
-
Introduction of a rail service for deliveries into Scotland, reducing carbon emissions by 82% annually.
-
Improved lead times and security of Scottish deliveries through the use of rail
Panasonic continues to work with Wincanton, collaborating to ensure that the transport operation is efficient and responsive to seasonal variances.
