Since 2014 Thesgi is involved in fresh vegetable production under the brand
name “thesgi fresco”. The main products are broccoli, cauliflower and lettuce.
The total production is on average 2 million kilos.
Currently, the coop is working with a 3rd party logistics company in order to
transport its products to its customers. Although the partnership seems to
work fine, there are some issues that need to be addressed.
● Specific pick-up time: Due to the way the logistics company functions,
the pick up of the products is made at specific hours which makes the
handling of the goods difficult.
● Time delay: Moreover, it creates delays to the delivery times at the
coop’s clients which has an impact on the product’s freshness and
quality.
● Price: After analyzing the data, the management has discovered that
logistics companies charge a lot for their services and this increases
the overall price of the products.
Solution: One way for the coop to solve this problem is by creating an
in-house logistics company and manage its own supply chain, thus having a
more efficient overall management of the products. It is also possible to
lower the transportation fees and improve the trading income.
