Case Study: a leading Australasian home storage distributor achieves end-to-end UK supply chain control with Ligentia

Full end-to-end supply chain management for a furniture supplier

Ligentia partnered with one of the largest privately owned furniture suppliers in Australasia, which was looking to expand into the UK market. The customer faced significant challenges; it relied on a single retail partner to manage its supply chain, which led to massive shipping backlogs, stock shortages, and lost sales due to market volatility and insufficient warehouse capacity. With a small UK team, the customer needed to gain independent control over its ocean freight, warehousing, and last-mile delivery.

Ligentia implemented a complete end-to-end supply chain solution, including a centrally located UK distribution center and its Ligentix visibility platform. By taking over freight operations, optimizing routing from multiple Chinese ports, and managing last-mile delivery, Ligentia provided the needed control and scalability. The results included shipping 844 TEUs in the first year, securing capacity to handle growing volume, and creating a robust platform for the customer's future B2B and B2C growth in the UK.
