Linfox has renewed its work with New Zealand’s largest supermarket chain, Progressive Enterprises Limited.
Progressive owns and operates 223 Countdown Supermarkets across New Zealand’s populous North Island, and Linfox delivers ambient, chilled and frozen products from the supermarket’s four distribution centres (DCs) in Auckland.
New Zealand country manager, Nick Snelling says Linfox resources – including equipment, vehicles and drivers – are networked across Progressive’s DCs, providing economies of scale and improved customer service.
“Networking our vehicles ensures we deliver the best in customer service. More than 99% of orders are delivered on time,” Snelling says.
“Optimal utilisation of our fleet allows us to lower fixed costs and remain competitively priced,” he says.
Centralised planning ensures the team has full visibility of the entire fleet and can quickly respond to high demand and unplanned events.
“Linfox works closely with Progressive to plan for peak seasons. We have a proven track record of delivering stock around the clock and are well equipped for peak periods,” adds Snelling.
