GXO combines deliveries for several retailers
The contract logistics provider GXO has entered into a partnership with the UK’s largest specialist fragrance retailer, ‘The Perfume Shop’. Under the cooperation agreement GXO will handle weekly high street deliveries to more than 200 shops in the UK through its shared transport network.
Its transport fleet combines deliveries for multiple retailers, helping reduce the number of vehicles driving in and out of already busy city centres. On average, GXO will operate vehicles with deliveries for five different customers, stopping at eight to ten locations per journey, making them more efficient than dedicated delivery services. Dedicated transport solutions that aren’t full can cost a retailer 5 kg of CO2/l more than shared vehicles, GXO said. (ben)
