Your Trusted Partner in FMCG Logistics

At Kammac, we take pride in being a leading logistics company based in the UK, specialising in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) logistics. In the dynamic FMCG industry, we understand the crucial role that efficient supply chain management plays in ensuring the seamless flow of goods from manufacturers to retailers and, ultimately, to the hands of the consumers.

FMCG Logistics: Simplifying the Process

FMCG logistics involves the management and coordination of the supply chain for fast-moving consumer goods also known as consumer-packaged goods. The process begins with the procurement of raw materials, followed by manufacturing, distribution, and finally, reaching the end consumer. At Kammac, we simplify this process by ensuring timely and secure storage and movement of goods at any stage you require

Keeping You Compliant

Kammac’s warehouses are all BRC AA rated, the highest grade for storage of human consumables, so you can have the confidence that your product is being well cared for both while in storage and for distribution.

Additionally, Kammac has both AEO status to ease international customs and a Premise Licence, allowing us to distribute your products directly to your customers. Kammac is even part of the McDonald’s Distributor Quality Management Programme (DQMP) one of the most stringent quality management systems in the world, and fully licensed and certified for the storage of medical devices and products. In short, whatever your requirements, Kammac is up to the job.

Achieving Traceability and Visibility

With consumers placing increased emphasis on transparency, manufacturers and suppliers in all industries are turning to digital systems to trace the journey of products from production to the hands of consumers. 

For the FMCG industry, this can involve implementing comprehensive tracking methods, including assigning batch and serial numbers, stock keeping units (SKUs), and a licence plate system. End-to-end visibility, facilitated by Transport Manager Systems (TMS) like those at Kammac ensures that products can be monitored throughout the distribution process, offering reassurance to all industry stakeholders in the event of issues or product recall.

If palletised freight is required, such as United Pallet Network (UPN), we provide complete transparency of all freighttracking every pallet and consignment from collection point to delivery destination.

FMCG logistics challenges you face

The FMCG industry faces a unique set of challenges, and effective logistics is paramount in overcoming them. Here are some common challenges that FMCG businesses may encounter:
