Driving Predictability in Furniture Fittings & Hardware Distribution
India’s furniture hardware market is evolving rapidly, driven by urbanization, the rise of modular furniture, and increasing demand for high-quality, design-led solutions. Growth is concentrated in urban hubs, particularly in the South and West, reflecting a clear shift toward organised, premium, and specification-driven offerings.
Moving premium, precision-driven products across a vast and complex market like India while keeping costs low, timelines tight, and damages near zero was a key priority for our customer, a 137-year-old global leader in furniture fittings and hardware.
Driving Control & Consistency with our Surface Logistics Solutions
We implemented a comprehensive transformation to enhance efficiency, reliability, and product safety across the supply chain with our B2B express services.
Structured Part-Truck Load Transportation (PTL) Solutions:
We restructured the operating model into a more structured and optimized Part-Truck Load (PTL) framework, enabling more streamlined and cost-efficient movement of goods. Strategic routing and consolidation were strengthened through dedicated connectivity between Vadodara and Bhiwandi, with Gurgaon as a key distribution node.
Improvements in warehouse coordination and route planning further enhanced predictability and operational consistency. This was complemented by specialized packaging solutions for delicate hardware and reinforced handling protocols across transit points, significantly improving product safety throughout the journey.
Technology & Automation-Led Operations:
We enabled end-to-end visibility, real-time control, and intelligent planning across the network through integrated digital systems and automation-led decision making.
- LOGI-XPS, our B2B surface express platform was deployed as the core shipment tracking and control platform, enabling complete end-to-end visibility across all movements.
- Real-time performance dashboards provided continuous operational monitoring and actionable insights.
- System-driven scheduling and route optimization improved planning accuracy, enhanced on-time performance and enabled efficient peak-load management.
Igniting Success for Consumer Durable Supply Chains
The transformation delivered measurable improvements across transportation network.
- Enabled pan-India deliveries within a 5-day transit window
- Achieved consistent service levels of 95%–97% across the network
- Delivered significant transportation cost efficiencies through optimized network design and improved load utilization.
Through our express logistics solutions, we continue to enable scalable, data-driven supply chain transformations that enhance speed, reliability, and product integrity across complex distribution networks.
