Specifically, Kinaxia has deployed a fleet of more than 40 vehicles to provide a 24/7 service to Eurocell, a manufacturer, recycler and distributor of uPVC products for the construction industry.
Kinaxia is now trialling night fulfilment to ensure optimum stock levels are maintained at key Eurocell branches.
To further improve efficiency, Kinaxia and Eurocell will be implementing new artificial intelligence software to improve routing and reduce delivery miles and emissions by analysing real-time traffic information, congestion and distribution data.
Kinaxia shunts stock from Eurocell’s manufacturing facilities in Derbyshire to the customer’s national distribution centre in Alfreton. From there, Kinaxia undertakes daily deliveries to more than 200 Eurocell branches and fabricators.
As part of the contract, Kinaxia also provides on-demand flexible warehousing – which gives Eurocell the ability to scale storage up and down – and import and export services.
Eurocell’s product range includes doors, windows, roofline, rainwater, decking, flooring, fencing, conservatories and garden rooms. It supplies more than 10,000 home improvement products through its branch network and online to trade customers, homeowners and housebuilders.
