Renault European Showrooms
An international in-store provider of music, digital signage, and interactive mobile marketing solutions approached Exertis SCS to support the fulfilment and installation of its products within the pan-European sites of a major automotive dealership. By outsourcing these elements to Exertis Supply Chain Service (SCS), our client was able to benefit from the following:
- Reduced Total Cost of Install, Complexity & Capital Exposure
- Efficiency improvements
- Better inventory management
- Reduced E&O (Excess & Obsolescence) levels
- Improved delivery quality and consistency
- Improved process & process adherence
- Central control (one partner delivering consistent pan-European solution
Hyster-Yale Project
Our second nomination was a result of our efforts in supporting Hyster-Yale; a leading, globally integrated, full-line lift truck manufacturer. The initiative has had a direct positive impact on our client’s supply chain performance and sales volumes, specifically resulting in:
- Increased availability of materials inventory, enabling Hyster-Yale to meet aggressive production schedules, resulting in higher units sold and maximised revenues.
- Improved supply chain quality, with near zero product defects and shortages as a result.
- An increase in Hyster-Yale’s overall daily production output.
