In times of COVID-19 and rising energy costs, many of our customers have chosen to reduce their inventory levels in order to remain financially flexible throughout the season. While smaller stock levels often lead to longer delivery times and can reduce planning security—especially when it comes to pricing—direct deliveries with Gum-tech® offer several key advantages. Because we maintain large in-house inventories of products such as Puzzle Mat 3D® and Grass Grid Hexagon®, our customers benefit from stable pricing and reliable availability. In many cases, it is even more cost-effective to ship materials directly to municipal yards or active construction sites.
More and More Customers Are Shifting Toward Smaller Inventory Levels
BTG Olching demonstrated outstanding performance during the 2021 safety-surfacing boom. Through consolidated shipments from Eastern Europe, we were able to supply numerous job sites directly and on time. Despite the current difficulties in the logistics sector, this model has remained resilient. With patience and flexibility, we were able to share approximate routing updates with customers and coordinate timely deliveries through direct communication with the drivers.
Both BTG Olching and our customers showed remarkable organizational skill—ensuring that forklifts and installation teams were on-site at the right time. That is why we are pleased to continue working with BTG Olching in 2023 to support efficient, stress-free direct deliveries for our partners.
