Case Study: Australian office supplies company achieves 20% time-travel savings with Toll Group supply chain optimisation

Australian office supplies company - Customer Case Study

Toll Group worked with an Australian office supplies company that had a large retail network and strong online presence. The customer wanted to review its logistics and supply chain operations, consolidate distribution centres, and simplify its supply chain. Toll Group provided supply chain consultancy and modelling support to assess the existing network and identify efficiencies.

Toll Group delivered a comprehensive strategy using data collection, operations modelling, and analysis of the customer’s freight task and distribution network. By combining ordering data with fleet, road, and operations modelling, Toll Group proposed a consolidated distribution centre solution. The changes removed inter-facility transfers and optimized delivery routes, resulting in an anticipated 20% saving in time travelled and a 13% reduction in distance travelled for deliveries.
