Sales and the 'Talent Magnet'

A lot is written about being a ‘Talent Magnet’, either as a company, or as President. It’s all good practice – listen, mentor, reward, provide clear goals and career maps. Good practice for the employer, but what about the employee?

Value added logistics :

The excellent geographical situation in the centre of Europe, in the container terminal of the Dunkerque Port, between Great Britain, Benelux, France and Germany, makes us a strategic partner for the distribution of goods all over Europe. The strategic position next to the terminal gives us a big advantage in container transport from stack to the warehouse.

The Conhexa groupe has a multimodal, multi-temperature facility on the same site. One single contact for all your logistics needs.

An integrated quality department controls the incoming goods and drives the quality of our service. The goods will be liberated for delivery by the quality department. Tasting of products by our tasting committee to validate the products before delivery to the supermarkets is a possiblity. We also do chemical analysis to validate conformity with the legislation.

An up-to-date warehouse management system pilots and optimises all the flows, without any paper work.

Integrated transport solutions, partial and full loads, will deliver your goods on time.

Custom clearance service.

Packaging and co-packing facilities available.

Voicepicking and orderpicking to prepare your commands.

Cross-docking and door-to-door deliveries.

EDI communication between the customer and the Conhexa groupe.

The big advantage of our geographical situation, on the other side of the channel to the UK, gives us a very high, daily capacity of empty trucks from all over Europe, coming back from the UK, by boat DFDS to Dunkirk/Calais or the Chunnel (train) to Calais. These trucks can be reloaded in all directions across Europe. Calais is only 40km from Dunkirk.

Customers of the Conhexa groupe :

  • Importers/exporters
  • Retailers
  • Wholesaler
  • Catering
  • Industrials
  • Home service

Exemples of value added logistics solutions :

1° Distribution of products (industrial, importer) coming by containers to Europe, from all over the world. Picking up the container, custom clearance, quality control of the goods, warehousing, order-picking, and delivery to the end customer.

2° Distribution hub for retailer : organise the necessary deliveries of the goods to avoid stock brokeage, EDI commands by the retailer shops, voice-picking of the commands, and delivery by our own trucks six days a week.

3° Consolidation centre of the European suppliers for a wholesaler in the UK. Deliver by full-load truck every day the distribution platforms in the UK ( multi-reference). Optimisation of the truck capacity and the just-in time delivery of the needed goods for the distribution platform.
