It doesn't matter how good your brand is if the goods arrive late.

Scandza's industry runs on short lead times, from order to delivery and from production to delivery. "Good logistics is the basis for continuous commercial success," says Lars Lundamo.

The challenge: transport buying needs more than a spreadsheet

Buying transport touches many areas at once: physical goods flow, information flow and cash flow. Tax levels, border crossings and the difference between half and full loads all change the answer. "If you don't know the difference it doesn't matter what the spreadsheet says," says Lundamo.

“Before the collaboration with Kinver, we were a pure transport buyer. We are now a strategically important partner for our carriers.”
Lars LundamoLogistics Manager, Scandza

The solution

Kinver gave Scandza the full picture of its transport and the expertise to read it. Each decision is now based on data and experience, not on the lowest line in a calculation.

The impact

"Now we have better control of the whole picture. We know which carriers we use, the frequency we transport according to, what volume we transport and what requirements we set for the route."

Clear view of carriers, frequency, volume and route requirements.

A stronger position with carriers: a partner, not only a buyer.
