CEVA wins €30 million contract to streamline Triumph Motorcycles’ supply chain

CEVA Logistics has signed a three year contract worth €11 million per annum with Triumph Motorcycles, the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer which produces 50,000 motorcycles a year.

CEVA will work in partnership with Triumph to streamline, integrate and optimise their international logistics flows of components, accessories and finished motorcycles. The logistics operator will handle the ocean shipment of motorcycles and the movement of components from suppliers in Asia and Europe to Triumph’s global manufacturing network.

Key to the successful partnership will be CEVA’s Ocean Plus solution which will deliver comprehensive management of product movement from order placement to final delivery.

CEVA’s Ocean Plus team will provide global visibility and control of over 50,000 purchase orders per year from more than 380 suppliers. The management of component supply against key milestones is critical to ensure production lines are fed while stock levels are optimized.

The Ocean Plus solution CEVA is deploying will facilitate Triumph’s growth plans by providing a scalable solution across multiple geographies and modes of transport. CEVA will be combining purchase order management, vendor compliance and optimization programs to deliver a truly efficient, reliable yet dynamic solution for Triumph’s international transportation.

Leigh Pomlett, CEVA’s Executive Vice President, UK, Ireland & Nordics said:

“We are delighted that Triumph has chosen CEVA as their logistics partner. Our Ocean Plus solution was one of the key elements that motivated Triumph to select us. A flexible and scalable logistics solution, supported by our integrated and end-to-end capability, and our ability to flex modes of transport to meet dynamic delivery dates is critical to ensuring that Triumph can respond quickly to take advantage of changes in the market.”
