Background
One of Europe's leading furniture retailers operates a high-frequency outbound logistics network across multiple distribution centres, moving substantial daily volume to stores and direct-to-customer deliveries.
The challenge
- Trailer space booked on historical averages, not actual load data.
- No visibility into effective m³ or load-metre utilisation per departure.
- Systematic over-ordering of trailer capacity, driving avoidable freight costs and excess CO₂ emissions.
Outcome
- 2% transport cost savings realised within the first month of go-live, growing to 5%.
- Trailer space booked on statistically superior load parameters, eliminating guesswork from capacity planning.
- Full visibility into m³ and LDM utilisation per departure, replacing estimation with accurate real-time load data.
- Reduced CO₂ emissions, directly supporting the retailer's sustainability strategy.
