Many industries are benefiting from the service and cost improvements that are possible when integrated premium transport solutions are part of a global service quality strategy. It’s a new, highly efficient way of working, enabled by the trust that major manufacturers have in our world-leading capabilities.

AVIATION RESOLVING AOG QUICKLY AND COST-EFFECTIVELY Airlines today operate increasingly complex flying programmes where any unplanned delay can lead to rapidly escalating costs.

An Aircraft On Ground (AOG) situation must be resolved quickly, which often means delivering goods, from a tiny switch to a complete engine, from grounded aircraft to anywhere in the world.

MARINE RETURN VESSELS TO SERVICE MORE QUICKLY The substantial financial impact of vessels delayed by technical failure has led to capital tied up in spare parts stocks around the world. Evolution clients are discovering that reliable, ultra-fast delivery allows new logistics approaches, from moving goods to regional centres to holding stock with suppliers on instant-access availability.

SHIP SPARES FROM NORTH AMERICA TO EUROPE – DELIVERED WITHIN 14 HOURS

MINING MAXIMISING UPTIME FOR CAPITAL EQUIPMENT Mining operations typically rely on a small number of very expensive machines, so any downtime has a significant and costly impact on production. With a wide range of equipment often from suppliers distributed around the world, ensuring parts are available for unscheduled repairs is always a compromise between very high capital costs for stocked parts and the risk of not having the right part available when you need it.

OIL AND GAS MAINTAINING PRODUCTION AND REVENUE Equipment downtime can halt the production of an entire rig, making a single component failure responsible for vast costs and lost revenue. While local stocks of spares help, they are capital-intensive and there is always a compromise between inventory, cost and, in many offshore locations, weight.

TELECOMS MAXIMISING SYSTEM AVAILABILITY Businesses worldwide depend on communications infrastructure, from voice calls to cloud systems. Failures are often heavily penalised and can result in significant damage to reputations. With such a high rate of technical change, local stocks may soon be obsolete. Without a dedicated logistics partner, this is seen as a necessary but extremely costly solution.
