In large volume and complex supply chains where forecasting and planning can be complex, cost control and flexibility of service and visibility are critical to facilitate in-time store availability.
Our physical distribution and logistic solutions are designed to support and complement such demands in a highly competitive market place. Horizon seeks every opportunity to bring added value to customers’ supply chains through a portfolio of cost-effective and flexible single sourced solutions spanning the globe, from international logistics, systems solutions and distribution, to in-store logistics.
Within a Retail supply chain visibility is essential; Horizon provides this through a sophisticated and mile stone driven systems solution. The system enables customers to manage purchase order status and progression, in transit visibility and inventory. The functionality enables these elements to be viewed and managed in a generic format through all stages ensuring optimum visibility.
The systems facilitate tracking and inventory management by Purchase Order, Unique Supplier Code, Model or Serial Number, Store Location or Customer and can further be designed to meet the customer’s requirements. KPI Reporting and exception reporting tools are also incorporated into the system to enable our customers to concentrate on the key issues within their supply chain.
Reducing cost is also an essential element and therefore Horizon support customers through initiatives such as Consolidation at origin (Vendor Management), bundling deliveries from different suppliers to a single customer, optimisation of containers, minimising LCL shipments and providing status reports are all key to the services provided.
