Enhancing Productivity and Efficiency through Collaborative Solutions at Aramex

Enhancing productivity and efficiency through collaborative solutions at Aramex

When global logistics firm Aramex acquired US shop and ship company MyUS, they turned to AJ Products to help re-purpose existing warehouse space into a dedicated area for handling the UK-based service, MyUK. With requirement for shelving, workbenches and picking trolleys, they needed efficient solutions to optimise both productivity and ergonomics.

Company overview

Aramex is a global logistics powerhouse founded in 1982. With a strong presence in over 70 countries and a network of 600 offices worldwide, Aramex is at the forefront of revolutionising the logistics industry. Their comprehensive range of services includes freight forwarding, integrated logistics solutions, and innovative e-commerce services.

The challenge

Last autumn, Aramex acquired MyUS, a shop and ship company based in Florida, USA. As part of the acquisition, Aramex gained the MyUK service, which required meticulous inspection of items shipped into the UK to comply with customs regulations. Aramex identified the need for efficient shelving solutions to store and consolidate items during this inspection process and when handling orders from multiple manufacturers.

Identifying the right solution

Recognising the success of MyUS's shelving system, Aramex sought AJ Products' expertise to identify suitable shelving options for their UK operations. AJ Products, known for its dedication to providing tailored solutions, promptly recommended shelving options that aligned with Aramex's requirements.

The shelving from AJ Products was more fit for purpose than any of our initial suggestions, which justified the initial expense, making it the best solution for us.

Understanding that introducing modern furniture and equipment is an investment in the future, AJ Products offered tailored product suggestions accompanied by a minimum 7-year guarantee. This commitment to quality and durability aligned perfectly with Aramex's objectives.

Building a new operations area

As Aramex established a new team in the UK and dedicated a portion of their existing warehouse for MyUK operations, they once again turned to AJ Products for sourcing suitable items. This time, they sought simple yet spacious workbenches without complicated shelving requirements. AJ Products' workbenches with adjustable legs provided the ideal solution, allowing employees to easily customise the height according to their individual needs. "It is paramount to us that our employees have access to ergonomic designs for their health and comfort," says Glen.
