Courts has extended its contract with TNT Network Logistics to include the storage and handling of its leather upholstery range from its largest supplier in southern Italy.The two companies have been working together since last May when TNT Network Logistics began to store Courts flat-pack furniture through its Corby depot as an overflow for Courts' National Distribution Centre also based in Corby, Northamptonshire.
"Courts' sales of leather upholstery saw significant growth last year and they initially asked us to look at just a four week short-term storage arrangement for upholstery," explains David Bermingham, Managing Director, TNT Network Logistics. "But now they want us to manage the whole inbound supply chain from Italy."
TNT Network Logistics' award-winning IT team is developing an IT solution which will ensure total visibility throughout the supply chain as the goods are shipped from factories in Italy, into the TNT Corby depot, and then delivered on a fixed weekly booking direct into Courts stores throughout the country.
TNT Network Logistics has the most extensive multi-user network in the country, ensuring it can quickly adapt to provide more capacity in the supply chain for individual clients, such a Courts, who experience growth in sales and throughput.
