As a result of increasing demands for greater flexibility and cost reduction within the logistics sector, the UK’s leading supplier of materials handling solutions is pioneering a new approach that maximises the benefits of outsourcing and collaboration.
NextGen Logistics has been developed by Briggs Equipment specifically for warehousing and logistics businesses and aims to provide a platform for encouraging successful collaborative relationships.
The pioneering initiative has been developed following consultation with the UK Warehousing Association (UKWA) and carries its full endorsement.
In order to deliver added value, cost reductions and genuine fleet flexibility, customers become part of a unique collaborative ‘buying group’ that allows them to adapt their fleet to satisfy business needs at any given time, saving them money.
After taking additional forklift trucks to deal with peak period demand, they can then rationalise when equipment is surplus to requirements – without any hidden penalties.
As well as providing businesses with flexible solutions to their materials handling needs, NextGen Logistics will help them to forge relationships that will help them better serve their own customers.
“If you’re not prepared to collaborate you run the risk of other suppliers targeting your customers with creative solutions that you can’t match, let alone beat,” explained Bill Goodwin, Sales Director at Briggs Equipment.
“With NextGen Logistics we intend to help customers save money whilst achieving key objectives and developing strong partnerships that are going to be very difficult to break down.”
Whilst Nextgen Logistics is in its infancy, and to help ensure it delivers solutions to suit the market, Briggs Equipment is inviting logistics companies to participate in a series of Nextgen Logistics forums.
“The forums are designed to give logistics companies a voice in the shaping of the industry in the future and enable businesses to discover the benefits of outsourcing and collaboration,” Bill said.
“No-one can say what works for one company, will work for another, and that’s why these forums will no doubt provide an interesting basis for a logistics debate.”
Branded as ‘The Big Logistics Debate’, the NextGen Logistics forums are open to all logistics companies, regardless of their size, and will take place in a wide range of venues nationwide, throughout the year. These events are free to attend.
For further details, including dates and venues of a forum near to you, please contact Claire Kyereh on 03301 23 96 76 or e-mail nextgenlogistics@briggsequipment.co.uk
