More intelligent, profitable and environmentally friendly logistics

Logistics operators face the challenge of providing solutions and strategies that meet the needs of customers. But how to develop high quality and aligned with environmental preservation services, without losing sight of competing values?

Since 2004, a collaborative solution has been implemented with the intention of presenting a positive market expectations. Developed and applied since then in France, FM Logistic, the concept of ‘pooling’ provides a space optimization and delivery with the goal of generating lower logistics costs and preserve the environment.

The application of the ‘Pooling’ allows two or more businesses that have the same starting point and common delivery points warehouses and multi-use industrial distributors that optimize logistics processes. This synergy is an assertive way to gains in terms of cost and quality of service.

Besides the advantages to those involved in financial terms, another plus point is the alignment with the needs of the environment. Imagining a situation of cooperation in the logistics process of freight transportation, for example, is easy to predict that the use of 100% of the space of trucks promote a smaller movement of the vehicle and, consequently, a reduction in emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) . With the complete filling of vehicles, the forecast is A decrease of 30-35% CO2 emission.

The application of the ‘Pooling’ is a smart way out of the difficult equation X return investment, but also requires a structured and competent performance of the logistics operator that intends to offer it. The choice of products and collaborative enterprises, which will share the same spaces for storage and distribution facilities, and precise planning of these services should receive full attention. In this sense, the geographical distance between the members of the ‘Pooling’ companies, the compatibility of the selected products and the nature of industrial distribution are critical for detecting the correct case by case partners. Added to this the maintenance of clear rules of technical management and strict delivery deadlines.

Even with all the challenges that collaborative processes envisaged in the concept of ‘pooling’ are its benefits are undeniable. But the success of the partnership is characterized by the involvement of all stakeholders, with a focus on service efficiency, eliminating waste and optimizing space, equipment and manpower.

With everyone’s commitment, logistics operators and their customers, it can be concluded that this is an operation in which all profits, especially the client, upon receiving a high level of service with a much more competitive cost than traditional processes. FM Logistic already available in several of its plants and services within this concept provides, soon, the service offering in Brazil so that more customers discover the benefits it brings to the business.
