How Smart Scheduling Helps Our Pacific Partners Save More

For many Pacific organisations, timing is everything.

Freight costs, lead times, and seasonal demand all play a big part in keeping essential supplies on hand — especially for our food-processing and manufacturing customers.

At Colin Carr Agencies, we’ve learned that a little forward planning can make a big difference.

Identifying patterns to save customers money

One of our long-standing food-processing customers relies on us for products like gloves, knives, and aprons — essentials they use every day

Over time, we noticed a clear pattern in their ordering cycles. By looking back through several years of purchase data, we could see which months orders typically peaked and what quantities were most common.

We suggested a simple idea: let us track those patterns and remind them ahead of time when their next order was likely to be due.

It wasn’t a formal contract, they weren’t obliged to confirm the order — just a proactive service reminder to make life easier if needed.

The impact was immediate.

Instead of placing urgent last-minute orders that needed costly air freight, they could now plan cost-effective shipments in advance.

The savings were significant — enough for them to invest in more equipment while keeping freight costs under control.

How the order scheduling service works

Working closely with customers helps us:

• Anticipate needs and avoid supply interruptions.
• Reduce freight costs through smarter scheduling.
• Support customer operations without the stress of urgent orders.

It’s a simple, collaborative approach — built on trust, communication, and long-term partnership.

At CCA, we understand that every customer’s needs are different.

That’s why our Order Scheduling Service is completely flexible and free — you can opt in, opt out, or simply explore whether it suits your timelines and budget.

If it helps make things simpler, we’ll make it work.
