XPO, a leading provider of innovative and sustainable logistics solutions in Europe, has announced a new three-year partnership with global crop protection leader UPL. XPO will provide a comprehensive fourth-party logistics (4PL) solution to manage transport orders for UPL in the region.
The Key-PL® solution offered by XPO will streamline UPL’s operational performance by efficiently managing transport plans through a network of over 1,400 carriers and 180 loading points. This will result in significant savings and improved performance for UPL.
Key-PL® is built on three key capabilities: engineering and management of customer flows, transparent procurement management, and a control tower for complete visibility. The partnership with XPO allows UPL to benefit from an end-to-end digital solution with integrated pricing methodology and uniform visibility across all flows, without the need for additional staff or systems.
UPL’s Head of Logistics Europe, Christophe Busca, praised the seamless transition to XPO’s 4PL solution, highlighting the teamwork and professionalism of XPO. The partnership has enabled UPL to offer a more proactive customer experience and improve cost management, making them more competitive in the market.
XPO’s tailored 4PL solution for UPL includes pre-billing and freight audit services, as well as a focus on sustainability through CO² emissions measurements. Remy Guyot, European Business Development Director at XPO, expressed excitement about the partnership and highlighted XPO’s expertise in sustainable agriculture solutions.
In addition to 4PL solutions, XPO Logistics offers a range of end-to-end logistics services in Europe, tailored to the specific needs of its customers in various sectors.
