Fresh Perspective: Revolutionizing Kazakhstan's Fashion Retail With a New Logistics Model
Kazakhstan's fashion logistics receives an upgrade through the introduction of a new railway-based supply chain model.
Kazakhstan is shaking up its fashion retail scene, thanks to a forward-thinking logistics model from Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) national railway company. By utilizing Talgo passenger trains for cargo transportation, they're aiming to revolutionize the industry with faster, cost-efficient delivery options.
Streamlining Deliveries
- Speedy Redistributions: Say goodbye to slow, cumbersome deliveries. With this innovative logistics model, over 1,000 street stores and 2,500 retail outlets in major shopping malls across Kazakhstan can expect faster deliveries, leading to quicker product availability in regional areas [1][3].
- Frequent Supply: More frequent deliveries mean retailers can restock more often, ensuring a consistent supply of goods and keeping shelves fresh [1].
Economic Benefits
- Cost Cutting: KTZ's new approach saves substantial logistics costs by tapping into the existing rail infrastructure for cargo transportation. By adapting passenger trains for freight, the safety standards for passengers are maintained while transportation expenses are optimized [1][2].
- Economies of Scale: Regular transportation between major cities enables logistics providers and retailers to enjoy economies of scale. This cost-cutting measure can lead to more affordable products for consumers [1].
Partnerships That Matter
- Top-Tier Collaboration: KTZ has teamed up with Warehouse Management IAA, one of Kazakhstan's leading logistics providers. This strategic partnership serves over 80% of the country's fashion retailers, including major brands like LC Waikiki, Koton, DeFacto, Adidas, ECCO, Mango, Guess, and Reserved [1].
- Expanded Reach: By planning regular transportation between major cities like Almaty, Astana, Shymkent, Atyrau, Karagandy, Kyzylorda, and Kostanai, KTZ aims to expand access to fashion goods across the country [2].
