JCB Equipment sign three year contract to reduce transport costs
Construction manufacturer JCB has signed a three-year contract with 3t, a British transport management company, to help direct its transport operations as part of an initiative to reduce supply chain costs whilst improving its services.
As part of the contract, involving the processing of over €12m transport activity, 3t will be responsible for carrier selection and fulfilment, reporting transport activity and implementing cost and service improvement initiatives for the JCB service division which distributes parts worldwide across its network of 16 warehouses. The manufacturing company is also committed to reducing 35% of its carbon emissions by 2020.
3t will oversee the outbound transport and delivery of replacement parts from the UK based World Parts Centre, European Parts Centre in France and the Czech Parts Centre to dealers across the globe.
"JCB Service set very high standards of customer service and aims to fulfil 95% availability of all urgent parts within 24 hours," said Tim Fawkes, Business Development Manager at 3t. "The company has an international customer base shipping to around 90 countries, resulting in a complex and highly demanding distribution network. Having worked with JCB for some years, we have proved that it is possible to make substantial transport savings without compromising the high standard of customer service that JCB are known for."
