TDG's tailored 4PL platforms deliver real cost savings

Together we create a leaner, more agile supply chain

TDG’s 4PL (Fourth Party Logistics) platform improves efficiencies and reduces costs through the centralised planning of your existing supply chain and utlitisation of sub contractors.  4PL replaces silo-mentality logistics planning with a streamlined approach across multiple divisions, creating a leaner, more agile supply chain, without the need to invest heavily in assets such as tractors and trailers.

From conception to implementation, TDG will work closely with your team to create a strategically aligned solution. We develop bespoke IT logistics applications and employ experienced personnel to match orders, routes, hauliers and kit in the most cost-effective way – all in real time. We can work with your existing suppliers, systems and personnel to retain valuable knowledge and minimise risk. And, for companies seeking to reduce investment in high cost assets, we can source and manage multiple sub-contractors within the platform. This approach is ideal for operations that involve lots of deliveries each day to many customers.
