Helping deliver maximum productivity
INBOUND TO PRODUCTION
Operating production plants in the industrial sector is orchestrated to meet the production rhythms of your final customers and deliver promised levels of service. Your inbound supply chain must respond promptly to changes in product specifications and the volatility of customer demand. This can require countless stock keeping units from thousands of suppliers.
The complexity of industrial logistics is stressed by the need to keep production costs under strict control. With razor-thin margins, efficiency is everything. Your production line needs to run like clockwork.

- 2-4% reduction in inventory pipeline costs with faster and more reliable delivery

We understand the complexity of distribution networks for industrial products. Employing multiple decoupling points and served by multiple carriers, these distribution networks offer limited visibility, are vulnerable to disruption, and complicate inventory management.
That is why we offer you reach, speed and transparency of distribution — powered by TNT’s European road network and complemented by our ability to combine this with dedicated first- and last-mile delivery. With market-leading expertise, our industrial people ensure your customers and channel partners receive their orders exactly when they need them.
