Discover how Gxpresss UK has helped businesses across industries overcome logistics challenges, reduce costs, and streamline their supply chains.
At Gxpresss UK, we measure our success by the results we deliver for our clients. From automotive manufacturers requiring just-in-time delivery to pharmaceutical companies needing temperature-controlled logistics, our team has the expertise to solve complex supply chain challenges.
Below are four case studies that demonstrate how we have helped UK businesses navigate customs, freight, and logistics with measurable results.
A Midlands-based automotive parts manufacturer was experiencing regular production line stoppages due to delayed component imports from Germany and Poland. Post-Brexit customs requirements had added 2-3 days to their supply chain, and their existing logistics provider was unable to guarantee the just-in-time (JIT) delivery schedules the factory required.
Gxpresss UK implemented a dedicated customs fast-track process for the manufacturer:
| Metric | Before Gxpresss | After Gxpresss |
|---|---|---|
| Average customs clearance time | 18 hours | 3 hours |
| Production line stoppages (monthly) | 4-6 | 0 |
| Transit time (Germany to factory) | 4-5 days | 2 days |
| Annual logistics cost savings | — | £127,000 |
A pharmaceutical distributor based in the North East needed to import temperature-sensitive vaccines and biologics from India. The shipments required unbroken cold chain integrity at 2-8°C from origin to final delivery, with full GDP (Good Distribution Practice) compliance and complete audit trail documentation.
Gxpresss designed a bespoke cold chain logistics solution:
| Metric | Before Gxpresss | After Gxpresss |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature excursion incidents | 3 per quarter | 0 |
| Customs clearance time | 24 hours | 4 hours |
| End-to-end transit (India to UK) | 7 days | 4 days |
| Regulatory audit pass rate | 85% | 100% |
A fast-growing e-commerce brand selling consumer electronics was struggling to manage their Amazon FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon) inbound logistics. Shipments from Shenzhen, China were frequently arriving late, incorrectly labelled, or with customs discrepancies that led to additional storage fees and lost sales during peak season.
Gxpresss UK created an end-to-end FBA logistics pipeline:
| Metric | Before Gxpresss | After Gxpresss |
|---|---|---|
| FBA rejection rate | 12% | 0.5% |
| Average landed cost per unit | £3.45 | £2.80 |
| Stock-out days (annual) | 34 | 3 |
| Peak season delivery reliability | 72% | 98% |
A specialist food importer bringing artisan cheeses, cured meats, and olive oils from Italy and Spain was facing significant challenges after Brexit. New sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) checks, health certificates, and border inspections were causing spoilage, delays, and substantial cost increases.
Gxpresss UK developed a specialist food import service:
| Metric | Before Gxpresss | After Gxpresss |
|---|---|---|
| Spoilage rate | 8% | 1.2% |
| Border delays over 24 hours | 40% of shipments | 2% of shipments |
| Annual product waste savings | — | £89,000 |
| Transit time (Italy to warehouse) | 6 days | 3 days |
