One ambition: to improve the well-being of all A Group organization to serve customer and market needs

High value-added logistics services The sector offers diverse logistics services, organizing the routing of materials to increasingly time-pressed, demanding customers in a more fluid, efficient and environmentally friendly way. For example, the Click & Collect system allows customers to collect materials from the nearest sales outlet at short notice. By pooling their logistics centers, the brands can optimize their stock management and carefully control supply to the different sales outlets, for continuous improvement in terms of product availability. Automation of the centers also means that thousands of order lines can be processed every day,

reducing delivery times to 24 hours, and even just 1 hour in certain major conurbations. The brands are also developing integrated logistics solutions, offering customers end-to-end logistics for a construction or renovation site, from delivery of materials to waste collection. Overall, the ongoing objective of the Building Distribution Sector is to anticipate and respond to its customers’ changing needs, with the aim of simplifying their journey and ensuring their satisfaction. As such, it provides them with increasingly innovative, high value-added products, services and concepts.
