Family supplies brand Clorox has chosen to outsource distribution of its products around Australia to DHL Supply Chain.
According to a statement, the partnership reflects Clorox’s focus on customer service, innovation and consistency.
Clorox’s decided to outsource its warehousing operation to achieve a more standardised and customer-centric approach, allowing the company to meet customer demands while removing the stress of distribution.
“We were looking for a partner who understands its customers’ business and responds quickly,” said Mike Fraser, Regional Logistics Manager, Clorox. “DHL Supply Chain has enabled us to maintain high levels of speed, reliability and quality control in our logistics processes, allowing us to stay competitive in the industry and help transform our end-to-end logistics operations.
“Our goal is that when a customer reaches for a product at the supermarket, it’s there. With DHL Supply Chain, we are confident that all of our products will be delivered on time and in full. We continue to look to them as a logistics partner of choice for future growth.”
DHL Supply Chain implemented a range of warehouse and supply chain improvements to Clorox’s operations across Australia, including warehousing, value-added services and inventory reduction, helping Clorox improve productivity by developing a more flexible operating model.
“The implementation of the 3PL (third-party logistics) service provided to Clorox has been achieved in just over three months, a process that would traditionally take six,” said Saul Resnick, CEO, DHL Supply Chain Australia and New Zealand.
“For fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) businesses, the logistics process is critical as consumer purchasing decisions are largely based on availability. We ensure all stock is delivered to stores when promised and with as little manual intervention as possible,” he concluded.
