Freight

1) Primary Freight & Benefits

Primary Freight is the management of transporting freight from our vendor facilities to our Distribution Centres (DCs). This is managed by the Transport Management System (TMS).

There are many benefits of Primary Freight which includes integrated management of replenishment, reduced administration, simplified financial processing, reduced trucks at both the vendors sites and Progressive sites, rigorous COR compliance and auditing and optimised order consolidation measured only by stock availability not on time delivery.

2) Pallet Control Model

Progressive Enterprises Limited (PEL) currently follows a ‘Transfer Model’ for deliveries into the DC’s.

A transfer model provides several benefits:

• Quicker turnaround time of trucks at our DCs
• Truck queues at our DCs should reduce
• Consistent pallet management across grocery industry
• Vendors/carriers/3PL will have no need to physically manage pallets after delivery to PEL
• Vendors/carriers/3PL will no longer be responsible for any poor quality pallets received from PEL
• Vendors with automated sites will no longer need to return pallets received from PEL
• Trucks can continue onto other work without having to dehire or relocate empty pallets
