JCB awards multi-million-pound contract to Norbert Dentressangle
Norbert Dentressangle Transport Services has secured a new three year multi-million-pound contract with construction equipment manufacturer, JCB. Norbert Dentressangle makes evening collections of stock and VOR (vehicle off-road) orders from JCB’s World Parts Centre (WPC) in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire. Using its dedicated trunking fleet, Norbert Dentressangle then delivers to its network of nine depots across the UK. Orders are packed into pallet boxes and integrated into the shared-user network for through-the-night deliveries to guarantee dealers receive orders before they open at 07h00 the next day. The operation involves distribution to 100 JCB dealerships across the UK, with drivers accessing lock-up facilities using keys and security codes. To optimise empty return legs, drivers also collect warranty returns and reusable packaging left by the dealers in the overnight facilities, for delivery back to the WPC. To support the operation Norbert Dentressangle has heavily invested in new vehicles and trailers. Norbert Dentressangle transportation management system, miSHARP, enables JCB to track its consignments throughout the whole process, providing real-time information including dealer balances, proof of delivery and data to measure against agreed KPIs.
