Next-Level Logistics: 3M's journey to cross-docking excellence with MIXMOVE

3M is known for its diverse range of innovative products and solutions across various industries. The company operates in over 70 countries and employs over 90,000 people worldwide.

Ensuring that the goods they produce are delivered swiftly and efficiently from their factory to their customers, is a key factor to their continued success.

3M used to produce pallets for each customer at the same factory where the goods were produced. However, with more than 60 000 products, these pallets were irregular and not possible to stack efficiently for transportation. Consequently, the trucks and containers were only about 35-45% loaded. For 3M, this situation was not sustainable, neither in terms of cost, nor emissions.

Since 2012, MIXMOVE’s X-Dock cloud software has enabled 3M to optimise their logistics network with smart algorithms, resulting in:

• Improved fill rate
• Reduced transport costs 
• Increased delivery accuracy
• Decreased carbon footprint
• Improved productivity and full visibility of operations across all carriers and hubs in the EMEA region.
