Peacock Bros. Marks Twelve Years of Innovation with Honeywell Partnership
Peacock Bros., a leading provider of supply chain technology, printing, and labelling solutions is proudly celebrating twelve years of partnership with Honeywell. This is a significant milestone for the Peacock Group, with the strategic collaboration with Honeywell being responsible for driving innovation, efficiency, and growth for organisations across industries like retail, transport and logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, healthcare and field service.
Over the past twelve years, Peacock Bros. has worked with Honeywell’s advanced automation and mobility solutions to deliver smarter, more connected outcomes to businesses throughout Australia and New Zealand.
“Peacock Bros. strategic partnership with Honeywell has delivered true innovation into the Australian market and transformed business processes and outcomes for twelve years,” said Ryan McGrath, Managing Director at Peacock Group. “As a Honeywell certified Platinum Plus Performance Partner and authorised reseller and service provider in Australia, we are incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to continued success.”
Driving Innovation Through Strategic Partnerships
For more than a decade, Peacock Bros. and Honeywell have collaborated to deliver advanced automation and mobility solutions that improve efficiency and visibility for businesses. This partnership has been influential in supporting businesses like leading Australian road freight transportation company Direct Freight.
To provide greater visibility of their goods through the supply chain and meet customer demand, Direct Freight engaged Peacock Bros. and Honeywell to deploy a large-scale mobile device and software system upgrade across its business. Direct Freight worked with Peacock Bros. to deploy 1,400 Honeywell CT60 XP Handheld-Computers and provide anywhere, anytime connectivity and fast data capture for maximum uptime and productivity. The devices are used by Direct Freight to scan goods being loaded onto and off delivery trucks, as well as being signed on delivery at end points to ensure the tracking of parcels is undertaken accurately.
In addition to providing greater levels of product visibility and accuracy through the delivery process, the Peacock Bros. and Honeywell mobility solution also helps Direct Freight improve its driver operations. With enhanced GPS tracking and communication capabilities provided through the Honeywell CT60 XP, driver routing has been overhauled to enhance delivery times. Given that driver communications now occur through VoIP on the mobile device, trucks no longer require expensive two-way radio fit outs and maintenance, which provides tangible cost savings to Direct Freight.
"Through our advanced unified mobility solution, we have full visibility of driver activity and can reroute them in real-time to avoid accidents or delays. On the road communications and management is key to ensuring driver safety, as well as the fast and accurate delivery of goods to customers. All of which are primary goals for our business," said Stephen Catania, Commercial Director for Direct Freight.
