Construction goods: optimized cost per cbm and sped up distribution
ТОО «BuildPro Distribution»
Challenge
High freight cost due to poor packing efficiency (“air”), peak inbound overload and damage claims.
Solution
Packing/palletizing standards + cbm-efficiency audit + cross-dock distribution with receiving windows and claims control.
Results
Approach
Context
For heavy and bulky goods, logistics costs often consume margin—especially when packaging and palletizing are not optimized and a lot of empty “air” is paid for.
Task
- Reduce delivery cost per cbm.
- Speed up distribution to sites/points.
- Reduce damages and claims.
What we did
1) Packing audit. Measured cbm losses and root causes (voids, unstable stacks, non-standard pallets).
2) Standards. Implemented packing and palletizing rules aligned with transport constraints.
3) Cross-dock. Split by direction and dispatch quickly without a long warehouse tail.
4) Receiving windows. Agreed site receiving windows to avoid downtime at unloading.
5) Claims control. Photo evidence and root-cause analysis of damages.
Outcome
- Cost per cbm: −12%
- Warehouse dwell: −40%
- Damage rate: −20%
Why it worked
For heavy goods, the biggest lever is packing standards and cbm efficiency. Less “air” means a lower cost per usable volume and fewer damage risks.
