LOGISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION
To contribute to reducing our carbon footprint, we take measures to streamline our logistics and distribution flows. This requires close co-operation from the entire supply value chain - from purchasing to delivery. We apply forecast driven planning through the sales and procurement phase before proceeding to logistics. This helps us to avoid surplus stock which contributes to a more sustainable distribution.
Transportation
Transportation of our products includes all transport between suppliers in our supply chain, incoming transport from main suppliers to our warehouse and outgoing transport from our warehouse to our customers. Our aim is to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from transport activities contributing to climate change. By selecting waterborne transport, we can achieve lower emissions as it is considerably more environmentally friendly than road transportation. Through careful logistics planning and the use of different co-freight solutions, we can minimise our environmental impact when transporting our products.
Effective warehouse system
By adopting sustainable warehouse logistic strategies, we try to achieve a significant reduction of time and costs required to perform logistics activities and to increase the environmental performances of our logistics systems. We use automated order picking and integrated digital solutions for more precise deliveries. This results in a reduction in returns which reduces our transportation footprint. From the start of 2023, Tranemo has been utilising AutoStore, a robotic storage and order processing solution.
AutoStore - DORIS
Since early 2023, Tranemo has been using AutoStore, which we refer to as DORIS, to streamline our warehouse and order management processes. Doris stands for “Deliver Orders, Rapidly, Instantly, and Securely” and has provided us with numerous benefits – both for our customers and for our working environment. One of DORIS’ greatest advantages is how it boosts delivery efficiency. Thanks to the system’s automated processes, we have significantly reduced picking errors and incorrect deliveries, while also responding faster to volume fluctuations. This has resulted in considerably shorter delivery times, which is crucial for our large international clients who demand accuracy and speed. DORIS has also allowed us to expand our storage capabilities and improve our picking and delivery efficiency by 30-50%.
"With AutoStore, we have been able to streamline processes, reduce our environmental impact, and improve the working environment and the customer experience."

» Improved working environment
DORIS has greatly improved our working environment. By freeing up around 1,000 square metres of space, we have been able to create a more spacious layout for our processing areas. This has led to better ergonomics with picking. It is now always done at waist height rather than from floor level or above shoulder height, which was sometimes the case previously. Additionally, we have reduced the physical strain that came from walking long distances on hard industrial floors. Today, our staff work in a stationary position at ports, combining picking and packing tasks, ensuring they are not standing still for long periods. We have also significantly decreased forklift traffic in the warehouse which has reduced the risk of traffic-related accidents.
» Faster deliveries
For our customers, DORIS means faster deliveries and increased accuracy, as we are now far better equipped to handle large scale orders than before. Doris enables us to scale up operations without downtime, which is crucial for meeting our customers’ demands.
» Positive environmental impact
DORIS has also made a positive environmental impact. By choosing AutoStore instead of expanding the warehouse by 4,000 to 5,000 square metres, we have avoided a substantial environmental burden. This decision has resulted in energy saving and has proven to be a sustainable long-term solution for our business.
