Smarter transportation supply chain and procurement solutions
The transportation sector keeps the economy turning. We deliver innovative procurement and supply chain solutions to help transport and logistics companies optimise their operations.
Overcoming your procurement challenges
Complete transportation supply chain solutions
Transportation is a high volume, high cost, high-risk industry in which capacity, capability, reliability and operational efficiency are essential. Rising fuel prices and stricter environmental obligations place even greater pressure on transportation and logistics operators and their margins.
With so many moving parts and tight deadlines to manage, keeping costs down, managing safety and sustainability and streamlining processes are key to enhancing productivity and performance, and meeting end-user demands.
CMCA(UK) can help you achieve these aims by simplifying the complexities associated with transportation supply chain and inventory management. We provide an end-to-end procurement solution which allows you to focus on the critical elements of your logistics operations.
Our innovative, tailored and cost-effective approach to all your procurement requirements will help you ensure service levels, mitigate your carbon footprint and achieve greater efficiency across all your operations.
From procurement and inventory optimisation to on-time delivery and obsolescence management support, we can help with your end-to-end procurement, storage, transportation, delivery and training needs.
How we help
Proactive transportation procurement solutions
Keeping your fleets running smoothly presents unique challenges. Many transport and logistics operators across the value chain often don’t have the in-house resource to manage their procurement and obsolescence management requirements.
Critical parts and components may be difficult to source or may not be available straight away.
These delays can significantly impact operations that rely on tight deadlines to keep customers happy.
We provide bespoke procurement, supply chain and obsolescence management solutions to the transportation and logistics sector to address these unique issues and mitigate the risk of losing access to vital components and equipment, which can have a big impact on scheduling, delivery and operations.
We can source, store and supply a wide range of internal parts and components specific to the transportation sector to help reduce cost and complexity, save time and enhance operational efficiency. Our solutions include:
Obsolescence management
A proactive, tailored, end-to-end approach to obsolescence management designed to enhance the service life of your equipment and systems, delivered in accordance with the International Standard IEC:62402:2019
Procurement
Rapid sourcing and supply of spares, parts and components, including obsolete or difficult-to-find items, to support the sustainability, maintenance and repair of your systems and machinery
