Packaging and Logistics Focus
When the responsibility for purchasing is distributed across multiple sites, communication can readily become disjointed, leading to a diminution of efficiencies.
When autonomous sites are situated in disparate global locations, this challenge is exacerbated, and business owners frequently fail to even realise its occurrence. This scenario precisely characterised Automated Packaging Systems (Autobag) with their multinational, multilingual operations and logistics.
Thanks to ERA Group, a full review of packaging and logistics led to substantial savings, increased efficiencies across the globe and a more robust supply chain.
This outcome was achieved through the dedicated efforts of Lorraine Gannon and her team (Simon Phippen – Packaging and Kevin Fryer – Logistics).

"ERA’s review was strategic in its assessment of achievable outcomes. A straightforward communication deficit resulted in a detrimental impact on some of our margins. Thanks to their holistic approach and the strength of ERA’s procurement expertise, they were able to capitalise on savings where we were unable to. When one presumes a task is being executed effectively, scrutiny is often overlooked – we now possess a revised understanding!" [Peter Wylie, Managing Director, Autobag]
