Client Overview:

Tyremax is a leading Australian tyre distributor, supplying a wide range of tyres for commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications. As the company expanded, they needed a more efficient, consolidated facility to enhance operational efficiency and customer service.

Challenge:

Operating from three separate sites in Wangaratta, Tyremax faced significant inefficiencies and storage challenges. Products often had to be shuttled between locations, and there was inadequate space to store inventory under roof, leading to weather exposure. A single, purpose-built facility was needed to streamline operations and improve product handling.

Solution:

A purpose-built facility designed to consolidate Tyremax’s operations in Wangaratta.

Key features of the facility include:

• Centralised Storage and Distribution: Consolidates all inventory under one roof, improving stock management and reducing the need for multiple site transfers.
• Efficient Loading and Unloading Areas: “Having a purpose built shed will allow us to operate far more efficiently. The number of outbound docks and facilities for vehicles to move more effectively and quickly is going to save us money and, more importantly, improve what we can offer to our customers.”
• Improved Safety and Work Environment: “This is going to create a lot of operational efficiencies, improve our safety posture, and overall make it a far better experience not only for our staff but for customers.”
• Phased Transition Plan: Entegra developed a phased move-in strategy to minimise downtime during the consolidation, ensuring continuous operations and a smooth transition to the new facility.
  

Outcome:

The new purpose-built facility has consolidated Tyremax’s operations into one location, significantly improving efficiency and service capabilities. Paul Hilton, COO, noted, “The initial reactions are overwhelmingly positive… it’s going to create a lot of operational efficiencies and improve our safety posture.” The facility positions Tyremax for future growth and enhances their ability to serve customers.
