Chemist Warehouse’s David Brennan and Jude Thomas talk about why the pharmaceutical wholesaler is using Linde Material Handling Australia’s lithium-ION solution.
Chemist Warehouse has partnered with Linde Material Handling since 2008, and over the years, both companies have worked together on multiple projects that have continuously improved Chemist Warehouse’s operations.
David Brennan, GM of Supply Chain at Chemist Warehouse stated, “Chemist Warehouse’s journey with Linde started as a short-term rental only. Over the years that expanded based on the excellent customer service we received, the reliability of their trucks, the technology advancements they could provide, and their ability to quickly and efficiently service our needs which in turn allowed us to service our customers.”
The partnership has adapted to suit the changing needs of the business. The most recent upgrades include the introduction of FleetFOCUS, Linde’s Telematics system, and the rollout of a Lithium-ION battery technology solution across their national fleet.
Upgrading from lead-acid to lithium-ION batteries
Chemist Warehouse made the decision to upgrade its entire fleet from lead-acid to lithium-ION battery technology based on the recommendation of trusted advisers at Linde who knew the intimate details of Chemist Warehouse’s application needs.
Introducing Linde’s FleetFOCUS telematics solution nationwide
Another recommendation from Linde to Chemist Warehouse was the introduction of their FleetFOCUS telematics software.
Jude Thomas, National Safety & Facilities Coordinator at Chemist Warehouse commented, “It’s been very important to have FleetFOCUS in place because of our large fleet and the number of operators we have.”
