The challenge

Faced with congested maritime traffic and the high cost of air transport, a premium furniture company based near Lyon, France, is looking for an alternative solution to supply its 35 stores in China.

  • PRECISE AND REGULAR DELIVERY TIMES

With two to three containers per month, the furniture company wants to deliver to its outlets in China as soon as possible after the actual order date. In addition, the company's just-in-time inventory strategy requires warehouses to be planned to the day, ideally in order to serve Chinese consumers, who are very demanding when it comes to French luxury goods.

  • A DOOR-TO-DOOR TRANSPORTATION PLAN

A factory near Lyon and 35 shops in China. The Duisburg  route is a huge freight opportunity, but it must be part of a transport and logistics plan designed from the point of departure to the various delivery points.
