Logistics to rely on. Solutions to build on.

Working with a temporary fencing manufacturer based in Rotherham, England, Garda Anleggsikring faced difficulty delivering these products to its construction clients. Delivery direct to building sites has historically been challenging, and the manufacturer’s strict, time-slot oriented schedule only compounded the issue, as it meant all Garda Anleggsikring’s export deliveries needed to be picked up in the evening or at night. Carrying out 190 semi-trailer pickups a year from this supplier, the tight window for pickups proved difficult to accommodate.

We began by taking over all communication with the fencing supplier and setting up a day-to-day planning system to streamline the pickups. Tailoring the system to fit with the supplier’s rigid schedule, we also took on the task of reporting and solving errors directly with the supplier. We standardised the shipments to simplify the pickup process, recommended Garda Anleggsikring use mega trailers for the transport and ultimately showed our experience and reliability in delivering to hard-to-reach building sites without any issues.

Our parternship minimised the resources spent on freight, saved costs and cut emissions by reducing the number of trucks needed for transport. Garda Anleggsikring now uses mega trailers for all its shipments from the UK. Following this collaboration, Garda Anleggsikring brought us on as a full-time strategic partner. We now provide them annual logistics audits, offer advice on how to lower expenses, and give recommendations for freight services based on Garda Anleggssikring’s unique needs.
