Maersk Logistics wins Mercury Award
January 2008
This award is given to third party logistics providers that deliver significant competitive advantages to their customers through innovative approaches. In this instance it was for Maersk Logistics’ improvement initiatives with Unilever, Australia. Unilever is a leading global company in foodstuffs, home and personal care.
Mr. Peter Smidt-Nielsen, Head of Supply Chain Management at Maersk Logistics, said:
“I’ve recently had the pleasure of experiencing first-hand how satisfied Unilever in Australia is with the service provided and, in particular, the development of their supply chain. This is a perfect example of executing our customer intimacy strategy: excellent operations, being close to the customer, listening to their business requirements, then acting and developing accordingly.”
The award-winning supply chain initiatives were developed by a dedicated Maersk Logistics team of experts using the innovative information management tool Spective™, which provides visibility all the way down to the single shipment product line level. Using Spective™, Unilever has gained the necessary insights into their daily processes and enabled them to make proactive decisions about supply chain events.
In addition, the reporting functionality of Spective™ has enabled Maersk Logistics to compile statistical overviews of Unilever’s overall supply chain health. This helped develop improvements, provide Unilever with full confidence in their supply chain and eliminate unnecessary costs and excess carbon emissions.
