NETHERLANDS-based CEVA Logistics has signed a one year agreement worth EUR4 million (US$4.94 million) with Dogus Cay, a leading tea manufacturer to manage its distribution in annual volume of 10,5000 truck loads throughout Turkey.
Under the agreement, CEVA will collect goods such as tea, sugar, sauces and potato chips from Dogus Cay factories situated in Ordu, Gebze, Eskisehir and Odemis daily and transport them to the chain stores and distributors of Dogus Cay products.
A vital part of the operation is CEVA's ability to distribute all products without being restricted by a maximum or minimum order amount. The integrated and scalable solution means that Dogus Cay is able to respond to its customers' orders in real time, using CEVA's partial network (LTL) service, and therefore ultimately decrease its logistics costs.
Alpaslan Karakan, Dogus Cay's CEO said CEVA is the right choice because of its customer focused approached and extensive network. "CEVA provides us with exactly what we need - operations excellence and robust procedures to get our deliveries where we want, when we want. We look forward to developing this new partnership in the year ahead."
Aslan Uzun, CEVA's general manager in Turkey and the Balkans said in a company statement that in choosing CEVA rather than reliance on its own regional warehouses, trucks and staff Dogus Cay is responding to customer orders "in a more timely fashion, regardless of the size, through our partial network."
