Pall-Ex makes stationary move for ASDA
September 22nd 2008

ASDA has named Pall-Ex as a nominated carrier. The network will collect freight from ASDA’s UK stationery vendors, consolidate at its Leicestershire based central Hub, then deliver to ASDA’s own distribution centre in Doncaster every week.

This will mean that ASDA’s Doncaster distribution centre will receive fewer deliveries of small consignments, which are crucial to its sales effort, but can slow the flow of distribution, due to their irregular delivery patterns.

With total UK and European coverage, Pall-Ex says it is well positioned to undertake nominated carrier schemes of this type, where it collects, consolidates and delivers small consignments to customers’ distribution centres or even direct to stores at pre-arranged, convenient times. Customers improve efficiency with a smoother flow of logistics and have a single point of contact for freight traceability. They also benefit from cost savings and a reduction in administration.
