Improved on-time performance
02 March 2021
Plastic pipe manufacturer Wavin has awarded a renewed transport operations contract to XPO Logistics.
The two companies have worked together since 2018. XPO manages Wavin products' delivery from plants in Chippenham (Wiltshire), Doncaster (South Yorkshire) and Crow Edge (South Yorkshire) to destinations throughout the UK.
Three services are integrated on XPO's technology platform as a single solution: dedicated truckload transport, less-than-truckload pallet transport and a bespoke parcel delivery service. The solution gives Wavin end-to-end visibility of deliveries to merchants and construction projects, the flexibility to adjust its volumes and the scalability to accommodate future demand.
Wavin global director of indirect procurement Andrew Crosby said: “XPO's transport network has elevated service to Wavin customers across the UK. Since our collaboration, XPO has improved on-time performance in all delivery streams, reduced our transport costs and provided us with valuable digital visibility.”
