CPG Logistics

CPG Logistics is a long-established firm specialising in Logistics Warehousing and distribution. Their main clients are pharmaceutical companies for whom they distribute point of sale and merchandising materials. These are ordered through CPG’s highly automated supply chain management systems with parcel delivery fulfilled by Parcelforce Worldwide.

How Parcelforce Worldwide has made a difference

With over 200,000 parcels to distribute to GPs, hospitals and field-based representatives annually, CPG finds that Parcelforce Worldwide offers just what it needs to satisfy its customers. Urgent requests can be fulfilled with express9 and globalexpress and convenient delivery means that CPG can offer UK customers the option of collecting their parcels from a nominated Post Office® branch. Flexibility for its own people is just as important - and expresscollect allows field representatives to collect parcels from depots in their local area.

The strong relationship with Parcelforce Worldwide is one of the key factors in CPG’s ongoing success

CPG regards Parcelforce Worldwide as a business partner rather than a supplier and over the 14 years of their relationship, CPG has consistently been impressed by their excellent customer service and account management. CPG has worked with a number of other carriers but has found them to be less reliable and commercially viable.

CPG prides itself on its state-of-the-art IT systems and Parcelforce Worldwide has ensured that its own system can ‘talk to’ CPG’s. A constant exchange of data and exception reporting allows CPG to contact its clients proactively to advise when parcels have not been collected or delivered.

The Parcelforce Worldwide Account Manager works on site with CPG one day a week and, as well as providing regular opportunity for review, helps resolve any issues as they arise. Flexibility has been key in developing CPG’s relationship with Parcelforce Worldwide. Direct trailer collections are supplemented with added vehicles at short notice when demand is at its highest and bespoke customer needs taken into account – one CPG customer required different delivery speeds on their parcels which Parcelforce Worldwide was able to accommodate.

Tracy Tollervey, Commercial Director of CPG says: “We have stayed with Parcelforce Worldwide for over 14 years and this is because they have consistently delivered great service and great customer management, whilst always remaining a really strong option for us. Their reliability and their flexibility have been a key factor in the strength of our relationship.”
