Reducing the delivery time by 50%
Business Case
Company: IPSO Agricultura
Industry: Heavy Equipment

The German importer of agricultural equipment IPSO was looking for a logistics partner to improve the delivery times of its products to Romania. GEFCO was chosen thanks to its strong network in the region and its ability to optimise Door-To-Door Logistics schemes.
Challenge
Until now, delivery times to dealerships in Romania were between 3 and 4 days from the plant in Germany.

Results
- Integrated solution including the collection, transshipment and distribution of parts
- Deliveries reduced to 24 and 48 hours depending on the delivery zone (compared with 4 days previously), that if a gain of 2 days.
- Reliability of delivery leadtimes ensured guaranteed: 98,4%
