GXO Logistics, a contract logistics provider, has helped the UK’s National Highways reduce costs by a reported 28% through improved storage, inventory tracking and delivery accuracy since its contract began in 2010.
National Highways is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving motorways and major A roads, as well as developing highway standards.
GXO’s end-to-end logistics solution includes a weekly delivery service for 10 regional stores, in addition to requirement support for asset temperature testing to help ensure highway safety in the changing climate.
“We’re pleased to continue our 12-year partnership with National Highways, helping manage and continuously improve England’s strategic road network,” said Gavin Williams, managing director for UK and Ireland at GXO.
“Working closely with National Highways’ Regional Stores, we have consistently exceeded delivery and collection targets, achieving a standard of 99% OTIF (on time in full).
“From administration of road salt deliveries to IT development, we’re working with National Highways to make motorways safer, smoother and more reliable while also delivering meaningful savings.”
Since the partnership began, GXO has supported National Highways in cutting costs across a range of its operations. This includes the storage of spare parts for motorway projects and road users, including message signs, telephones, underground cables and weather station consolidation.
