Case Study: a leading PPE supply provider rapidly builds a PPE supply chain with Ligentia

Leading PPE Supply Provider - Customer Case Study

A leading PPE supply provider was awarded multiple government contracts to source and supply medical and non-medical personal protective equipment (PPE) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The urgent challenge was to directly source approved products from manufacturers in China and manage a complex international supply chain during a period of severe global disruption, which was beyond their existing capabilities. They engaged the supply chain management firm Ligentia for its expertise and on-the-ground support.

Ligentia built the entire sourcing and import framework, finding approved manufacturers, negotiating purchase orders, and managing all logistics from factory pickup to delivery in Australia. This solution facilitated the movement of hundreds of millions of PPE items. The measurable impact included Ligentia delivering over 2.7 million kg of airfreight and 550 ocean containers on time and within budget over six months, enabling the customer to fulfill all its critical government contracts.
