TNT Logistics Italy and Scarpe&Scarpe have signed an agreement to renew and extend their partnership.Under the contract, which is worth over 4 million euros, TNT Logistics will manage a range of logistics activities at its specialised hub in Scarmagno (Turin), including product receipt and quality control, goods storage and handling, and order preparation and distribution to the cus-tomer's 95 sales outlets throughout Italy, seven of which are new stores that opened in 2005.
Overall, 12,000 m2 of warehouse space will be dedicated to the customer at the Scarmagno hub, where over 7,500,000 items will be handled each year.
TNT Logistics Italy will also provide the customer with added-value services by collecting re-turns from the customer's stores and processing them, which could entail, for example, up-dating product prices.
"We are extremely proud of the fact that Scarpe&Scarpe have reconfirmed the faith that they put in our organisation two years ago," commented Andrea Rocco, General Manager of TNT Logistics Italy's Consumer Division, "as confirmation of our skill as logistics operator and the professionalism of our people and organisation. In turn, TNT Logistics will continue to ac-tively support the growth of our customer's business, providing highly flexible solutions, designed to meet our customer's specific needs."
TNT Logistics Italy has been managing Scarpe&Scarpe's logistics business since 2004.
