HAVI Logistics’ idea of relieving the customer McDonald’s of all logistics tasks is called Invisible Delivery. It is a special service that is already offered by HAVI Logistics in Germany, Hungary, Italy and Turkey and will soon be offered for the restaurants in Sweden as well.
The HAVI Logistics’ Invisible Delivery concept means that the McDonald’s restaurant is totally freed of all tasks that are part of the delivery process. The company handles the entire physical delivery including shelving (full put-away). The restaurant crew is relieved of all tasks related to shelving and stock rotation. Invisible Delivery allows deliveries to take place during or after a restaurant’s opening hours.
Between February and August of this year the Swedish-based HAVI Logistics company tested the Invisible Delivery service in eight - McDonald’s restaurants. The target is to roll out the service to nearly all 100 restaurants in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe during 2010. All goods are delivered directly to the restaurant storage areas.
The biggest challenge for HAVI Logistics was the task of making deliveries to the McDonald’s restaurant serving the guests of the Gothenburg Horse Show. This big event was hosted by Sweden's Scandinavium arena between February 19 and 22. The McDonald's restaurant received two full trucks on the final day of the Horse Show and the completely invisible putting-away process took approximately eight to ten hours. In the next months the test will be extended to additional Swedish cities with a high concentration of McDonald’s restaurants.
