Building Loads for Building Products
Problem:
With significant export sales of their commercial grade gypsum board to countries all over the globe a reliable and responsive partner with a high level of service quality is a must-have for our client. And that’s compounded by the fragility of the product, the high price sensitivity of their markets and
An ordinary warehouse operation isn’t an option though – before the material can be loaded for export a significant amount of product manipulation must be performed to maximize the sheet count in each container, and ensure that the product arrives at foreign construction sites in perfect condition, ready for installation. And in such a competitive market, with customers placing orders based on cost changes in the order of cents per sheet, an economic logistics solution can literally make-or-break a sale. That’s where Dockside comes in.

• Material manipulation:
– Re-stacking material to client-specific bundle counts
– Re-orienting bundles to maximize container usage
– Packaging for handling at destination construction site
– Destination-specific markings (country of origin etc)
• 1,000 containers per year
