Toll wins “Asia’s best 3PL Supply Chain Provider” Award
2 December 2010
Toll’s Global Logistics Division has been awarded the Global Supply Chain Council’s award for best third party logistics (3PL) supply chain provider in Asia.
Toll Group is one of the Asia Pacific region’s leading logistics providers, and its Global Logistics Division won the award at the CHaINA awards ceremony held in Shanghai on 18 November. In a joint award, Toll with key customer, Colgate-Palmolive, was commended for its proven excellence in developing and delivering supply chain solutions throughout China.
The award recognises Toll’s first-class operations with Colgate-Palmolive in China.
In its nomination submission, Toll Global Logistics successfully demonstrated the scale, importance and transparency of its Delivery Schedule System program started in 2008 for Colgate-Palmolive’s operations within China.
The Delivery Schedule System is a joint effort between the customer and Toll’s account management team, which used Toll’s continuous improvement plan model. Some benefits included:
A more structured approach for placing purchase orders
More environmentally friendly back-end operations , reducing paper usage
Reduced emissions due to better planned delivery schedules, and
Improved efficiencies for the customer’s field sales team in China.
Stuart Han, Director of Customer Service and Logistics at Colgate-Palmolive in China, praised the joint effort. “Toll Global Logistics has been an innovative 3PL provider to Colgate-Palmolive for over 12 years and the Delivery Schedule System program is another example of how they have helped us to optimise our China supply chain.
“The Delivery Schedule System program brought significant benefits to many parts of the supply chain, including savings in back office finance and administration, and enabled the sales team to be much more efficient than previously.
” Wayne Hunt, President and Chief Executive Officer at Toll Global Logistics said, "This award is testimony to our team’s tireless efforts and commitment to supply chain operational excellence. Following on from a successful rebranding exercise in China in August this year, the award is recognition of Toll’s capacity to lead and manage our customers’ supply chains.
“Winning the award of the best 3PL supply chain provider in Asia further shows our competence as the lead logistics provider in the retail and consumer sector both in China and across the region," Mr Hunt concluded.
