A worldwide impact
For over 20 years, DELTABLOC have been making roads safer across the world.
From permanent and temporary safety barriers to noise protection systems and steel guardrails, it’s their mission to create a safe environment for all road users.
With extensive knowledge and experience in moving time-critical goods across Europe, our Accelerate solution was the perfect choice to get DELTABLOC’s goods to their destination, in one piece and on time.
High-volume & tight deadlines
DELTABLOC’s project required the delivery of high volumes of concrete blocks to various locations in Europe. This undertaking involved transporting 30-32 loads within just 4 days.
Our Accelerate Team demonstrated exceptional capability in managing this high volume within such a short period.
A significant aspect of the project was cost-saving, and through only utilising European hauliers to move the goods across Europe, we were able to ensure meticulous control and reporting whilst minimising expenses and maximising efficiency.
This strategic approach not only reduced costs but also ensured compliance with local regulations and optimised delivery times.
All of which enabled us to deliver all of DELTABLOC’s loads on time, helping maintain the project’s tight schedule.
Overcoming challenges and designing solutions
Logistics comes with its hurdles, but it’s our mission to not only overcome these, but to create solutions to provide real benefits, and find the hidden value. From ferry cancellations, to clearance into Europe, we were able to add value in more than one way.
Ferry Cancellations and Deadline Adherence:
One of the major challenges faced during a project in Germany, was the cancellation of ferry services to Rotterdam. Despite these disruptions, we ensured that all deadlines were met. This was achieved by increasing vehicle availability and maintaining flexibility with suppliers, ensuring that the project stayed on track.
Comprehensive End-to-End Solution:
We worked hard to provide an end-to-end solution for DELTABLOC, encompassing all elements from project management to customs clearance. By offering a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) service, we ensured that goods were cleared into Europe hassle-free, streamlining the entire process.
Value Addition:
The value addition to this project extended beyond logistics. Our comprehensive project management services ensured seamless execution, from planning to final delivery. The one-stop-shop approach provided proved to be instrumental in managing large-scale contracts, particularly in the EU market.
