Our Global NetworkAustralia

A major manufacturer of packaging for the health, food and beverage industries wanted to improve its supply chain management across more than 50 manufacturing sites in Australia and New Zealand. We implemented our control tower system to increase visibility into shipments, documents and key milestones. We consolidated invoicing through EDI and provided custom brokerage services. Supply chain costs savings amounted to $2 million during the first two years of the contract and have continued pacing at $1 million annually. In addition to improving visibility through the Agility tracking system, we also reduced transit times by streamlining processes for importing and exporting.

The world’s leading glass packaging maker needed help managing its supply chain through local and regional agreements. Agility put into place a system that saved the company $3 million over three years. It included an online portal for tracking all customer quotes and reporting. We improved visibility of shipments through Agility Tracking, streamlined processes for importing and exporting to improve transit times, and consolidated invoicing at each manufacturing site via EDI linkage. We provided labor support and management of third-party providers. We also handled international freight forwarding (air and ocean) and customs brokerage. Agility’s procurement processes cut overhead costs by 20% and improved the transparency of logistics across all the manufacturer’s sites in the region.

A major manufacturer of transmission equipment for the telecommunications industry needed a new way to control inventory with special attention paid to requirements for unique product serialization. Using a Warehouse Management System specifically developed for the client, Agility was able to cut the value of inventory held in stock from $40 million to $18 million. At the same time, we achieved nearly perfect stock accuracy of 99.97% and reduced transport costs by 20%. We achieved this by sourcing a warehouse facility close to the client’s business and managing the inventory with radio frequency technology. Our solution was focused on meeting customer requirements and offering SKU and component level visibility. As always, Agility also provided trained and skilled manpower.
