X2 (UK) secures one-stop-shop 4PL packaged oils distribution contract

X2 (UK) has won a £4.5m contract for the distribution of packaged oils across the UK and Ireland for manufacturer ADM in Purfleet.

The 4PL said the three-year contract would simplify ADM’s current multi-haulier solution by providing a single management function, with X2 overseeing the planning, optimisation, customer booking in, delivery, systems administration, warehouse coordination and supplier payments.

The agreement covers chill and ambient distribution from full loads to single pallet deliveries.

Adam Spaull, ADM transport and customers services manager, said: “X2’s 4PL solution was an excellent fit for our needs, providing the flexibility and scalability of a multi haulier solution without the complexities of managing multiple supplier relationships.

“This makes our life simpler by providing a reliable service, reducing costs and overheads and ultimately, giving us a competitive advantage.”
