XPO Logistics (formerly Norbert Dentressangle) has extended the reach of Radius Systems’ supply chain to include daily distribution service to Ireland and Northern Ireland, after it signed a five year contract with the piping manufacturer earlier this year.

The process will increase the delivery frequency of pipe fittings from twice weekly to daily.

Through its next-day pallet network, XPO has expanded its existing solution to include direct deliveries into Belfast and Dublin within 48 hours.

Steve Ellis, head of supply chain at Radius Systems, said: "We've been working closely with XPO Logistics to consolidate our logistics operation by putting in place more efficient systems and work practices to improve our delivery targets."

"With this new integrated process, we are a stage further in developing and implementing smarter solutions to move our logistics operation by putting in place more efficient systems and work practices to improve our delivery targets."

Dave Finnie, business unit director at the transport division of XPO Logistics, said: "With our flexible in-house pallet distribution network, we are providing a seamless one-stop solution for Radius Systems, which integrates daily deliveries of fittings to Ireland and Northern Ireland alongside dedicated plastic pipe deliveries in the UK."
