| Purchasing Success & Network Development Ran strategic purchasing and contract negotiations for warehousing, and transportation services such as rail, sea, road and home delivery with yearly contract value of 15 MEUR and average 5% savings. |
| Supply Chain Network Design INITIAL STATE: •Old and obsolete logistics network with limited capacity. •Poor support for sustainability goals and CO₂ reduction. ACTION: •Mapped current inbound flows and customer deliveries across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Baltics. •Identified transport modes (road, sea, rail), warehouse locations, and lead times. •Developed multiple future distribution scenarios, analyzing: •Delivery lead times •Volume distribution •Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) •CO₂ impact •Warehouse rates and regional availability •Assessed service levels, costs, and environmental footprint for each scenario. RESULT: •Best scenario approved: •Multi-WH solution 2 days average lead time reduction. •3% total logistics cost savings. •20% improvement in environmental performance (CO₂ reduction from fewer km per delivery and optimized location setup). |
| Strategic Warehouse Expansion Project — Sweden CDC INITIAL STATE: •Capacity constraint at the Central Distribution Center (CDC) in Sweden. •Lease expiration approaching, urgent need for a strategic decision. •Project personally led from analysis to Board approval. ACTION: •Conducted full market review (vacancy, greenfield sites, rental trends). •Developed and compared 3 scenarios: •Extend CDC, CDC + external storage, New greenfield warehouse. •Evaluated Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): labor, transport, IT, investment. •Launched RFQ, negotiated best pricing and terms. •Built detailed NPV models for long-term impact assessment. RESULT: •Presented findings to Board of Management (BoM). •Extension of current CDC approved as most cost-effective option. •Construction project launched, go-live December 2024. |
| 3PL Warehouse Provider Re-Negotiation — Denmark 2023 INITIAL STATE: •3PL contract expiring, 60,710 TSEK value, ~496,878 m³/year. •Strong service, but high-cost growth, low liability protection, poor flexibility. ACTION: •Market screening and RFQ with updated terms. •Negotiated: •CPI-capped indexation •Price reduction commitment •Stronger liability terms •Flexible storage volume options •Used tactical purchasing: benchmarking, TCO modeling. RESULT: •Same 3PL reselected — no transition costs (€0). •Immediate 7% cost reduction. •Future cost reduction clauses secured. Improved service flexibility. |
| Freight Tenders INITIAL STATE: •Difference in contract terms for different LSPs in different country •No Service level targets defined •No liability for quality performance ACTION: •Launched pan-Nordic RFI/RFQ process: •68 LSPs prequalified via RFI •38 LSPs invited for RFQ •Tender scope: LTL / FTL / Construction deliveries. •Assessed and benchmarked offers on cost, contract terms, and operational capabilities. •Negotiated: standard fuel surcharge formula, quality liability, service level targets and responsibility. RESULT: •New LSPs selected with no service interruption. •Cost reduction: -8,7% annually → €9 682 424 → €8 841 434 •Standardized contract terms Aligned transition start with operational rollout in all Nordics & Baltics. |
