DOWNLOAD THE FULL CASE STUDY

JDE UK & Ireland was looking to partner with a sector specialist to optimise their UK green coffee supply chain, whilst improving stock availability and reducing port costs. Developing effective partnerships with suppliers is a key enabler for JDE to achieve their overall business objectives. The timing of the project fell across 2020 and during the Global Pandemic, and the two teams delivered the business change mainly through remote working.

THE OPPORTUNITY

OUR SOLUTION

The Commodity Centre’s team designed a customised process, utilising its propriety technologies to manage and track the flow of inventory into the UK through various storage and handling facilities.

All incoming products can be landed and quality samples taken, prior to storage reconfiguration to suit JDE UK & Ireland’s agile needs.
Utilising a combination of both port centric and full container handling with road & rail links.
Inland storage warehousing, transform container loads into manageable storage units prior to loading bespoke delivery modules.
Supply chain visibility, coupled with accurate reporting unique to JDE, is a key catalyst for stable production management while reducing operating costs.

Real-time reporting of stock positions and quality checks allowed JDE to confidently change production plans.
