Logistics
Overview
DX Logistics is our specialist partnering offering, providing expert and agile rethinking of the possibilities for more productive and transformational use of logistics within your business.
Whilst the self-managed or fully outsourced services provided by conventional 3PL and 4PL operators may be viable only at enterprise scale, DX Logistics provides strategic consulting, deployment and ongoing service provision in a way that is realistic and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes. ...
Our process begins by consulting with each department in your business, acquiring their input and building understanding. Through this, we develop a solution which embraces your entire operation, built around smart use of logistics expertise and resources wherever maximum gain can be made. Using our specialist in-house IT team, we develop all software required to implement each component of your solution, and work with your IT team to ensure its successful integration with your systems.
Our solutions draw on both the experience and expertise gained in decades of running our own commercial delivery operations, and our considerable experience in partnering with existing client companies to provide this kind of logistics partnering.
We are expert in delivery services covering distribution of mail, packets, parcels and freight; fleet and driver compliance management; specialist handling; fulfilment; and time-critical deliveries. However, our expertise also encompasses end-to-end supply chain management and management of 3PL relationships and installation services (e.g. for kitchens and bathrooms, including services like plumbing, electrics, gas works, flooring, plastering, tiling and joinery).
We provide warehousing of stock and pick and pack delivery solutions. We also deliver specialist handling equipment for manufacturers that require preparation before delivery with mechanical procedures to be carried out at the point of delivery. We return stock for routine servicing to the manufacturer and store new stock awaiting delivery.
Each company with which we partner presents its own, unique opportunities for improving efficiency and gaining competitive edge. Our skill lies in uncovering these and implementing solutions able to leverage their advantage.
