Leverage the scale of our entire ecosystem
At Primary Connect+, we understand that one size does not fit all. That’s why we work with our partners to find transport solutions that fit their needs and cost objectives. Our services are constantly improving to stay ahead of network changes.
Our infrastructure handles 1.7 billion cartons each year. We’ll connect you with the right services, optimising loads with high productivity equipment. Our team minimises turnaround times, and when transport services are scarce, we have the scale to find solutions.
01 Road Transport
Be supported by our extensive network of road carrier partners
Thanks in part to our trusted road transport network, we consistently achieve Delivery In Full On Time (DIFOT) of 98-99% for our customers. By optimising delivery loads (such as consolidating LTL (less-than-full truck) loads and optimising order profiles), we will simplify your workload and improve your replenishment times.
Our unique infrastructure includes dedicated swing trailer operations and high productivity equipment for heavy or oversized loads. We offer solutions to help you continuously optimise your supply chain through truck rounding, secondary fleet utilisation and more.
Gain access to:
- 80 trusted carrier partners who are required to consistently meet our superior safety and fleet requirements
- A fleet of over 1,200 road trailers
- Solutions to help maintain business continuity during network outages
- Efficient end-to-end tracking via MyPC
02 Direct Rail
Improve efficiency and mitigate disruptions with direct rail
We’re always looking for new ways to expand our end-to-end supply chain solutions. That’s why we’ve established ourselves as a rail freight forwarder. Thanks to our scale and extensive network, we work to provide better service at more cost-effective rates.
Our rail services offer strong contingencies against road disruptions and natural disasters. At the same time, we’re reducing trucks on the road and mitigating driver shortages, while our specialised temperature controlled equipment works to minimise stock loss.
Gain access to:
- Improved visibility and end-to-end tracking
- Strong contingency solutions and capability during road transport disruptions
- Simple management of bookings, train capacity, pickup, and delivery
- Specialised temperature controlled equipment to help minimise stock loss
A vast network and experienced team
To ensure consistent service, our rail network uses Primary Connect containers managed and monitored by our experienced team. We have expanded our direct rail engagement and container ownership model, proudly managing a fleet exceeding 500 containers. This ensures efficient and seamless transportation nationwide.
