The manufacturer needed reliable market data to inform decisions on warehousing costs, a last-mile delivery strategy for large appliances, road transport cost optimization, and quality standards.
What We Do
A benchmark of warehouse real estate costs and logistics operations.
Market analysis of last-mile delivery for large appliances across Europe.
A road transport tender involving several dozen carriers.

Results
A vacancy rate of 5 percent identified in the analyzed warehouse market.
Collected volume data pointing to 15–20 percent annual growth in the delivery market.
Target freight rates gathered from several dozen carriers, forming the basis for negotiations.
