The Challenge and Results
Facing challenges such as managing escalating order volumes while minimizing operational costs, coping with the increasing demand for warehouse space due to expanding inventory, and dealing with unreliable pickups and recurring issues with shipping providers, the company sought effective solutions.
Implementing strategies like utilizing Meteor Space for seamless shipping operations and bi-weekly pickups to streamline stock movement proved instrumental in alleviating operational burdens. Furthermore, leveraging Meteor Space’s expansive warehouse space enabled the company to overcome storage constraints and support business expansion. Precise inventory tracking with Canary7 Warehouse Management System minimized item misplacement and optimized operational efficiency.
Additional manpower provided by Meteor Space during peak seasons resolved issues with delivery partners like Evri and Royal Mail, while daily pickups and deliveries ensured prompt order fulfillment, enhancing customer satisfaction. Canary7’s inventory management reduced labor costs associated with stock sourcing and minimized the risk of returns, while the utilization of Meteor Space’s warehouse freed up resources for allocation to production.
Consistent shipping practices not only enhanced operational efficiency but also reduced customer inquiries about package location, contributing to overall business success.

About Greiner Packaging
Greiner Packaging is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of plastic packaging and a key supplier to many household brands across sectors such as food, healthcare, and personal care. With a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability, Greiner operates advanced production facilities that rely on speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Their operations are high-volume and fast-paced, with strict production schedules that require an equally agile and responsive logistics partner.
As a manufacturer that adheres to just-in-time (JIT) production principles, Greiner’s supply chain depends on reliable and timely deliveries. Any delay or disruption can impact output and customer satisfaction, making efficient logistics not just a support function—but a critical business driver.
Challenges
With demand rising across multiple sectors, Greiner faced growing logistical pressures. Their internal teams were managing complex supply chains, and the need for external logistics support became urgent. Key challenges included:
-
High Volume Management: Greiner needed a logistics partner capable of handling up to 11 trailer loads per day and dispatching 550–600 pallets daily without delays or errors.
-
Just-In-Time Pressure: Their production model requires materials to be delivered exactly when needed—no earlier, no later. This meant precise coordination and proactive planning were essential.
-
Lead Time Reduction: To maintain a competitive edge, Greiner wanted to significantly reduce delivery lead times and improve their overall supply chain responsiveness.
-
Scalable Support: With continuous growth, the company required a logistics partner that could scale quickly and adapt to changing operational needs.
-
Seamless Collaboration: They needed a third-party logistics (3PL) provider that wouldn’t just operate alongside their team—but integrate into it.
