Faster, Safer, Smarter: Operations underway at Moorebank Regional Distribution Centre

Faster, Safer, Smarter: Operations underway at Moorebank Regional Distribution Centre

In October, a significant milestone was reached with the Moorebank Regional Distribution Centre (MoRDC) receiving its very first carton, officially marking the commencement of operations at this state-of-the-art facility.

Behind this feat is years of planning and hard work, with the new site a major step forward for our supply chain network and, crucially, for our partnership with valued suppliers.

As our store network grows to serve more customers across Australia, the onset of the MoRDC looks to expand our capabilities across our supply chain. Equipped with cutting-edge logistics technology, and purpose-built to accommodate impressive scale, ensuring we can meet rapidly increasing customer demand efficiently.

Two weeks after the arrival of the very first carton, the Moorebank Regional Distribution Centre reached another milestone; sending out its very first carton to store. The very first carton was packed with precision, utilising technology to build aisle-specific, store-friendly pallets that can be moved from receiving docks to supermarket shelves faster, and with much less manual handling. 

As we continue on the path to transform our supply chain, the MoRDC stands as a testament to the key principles we’re striving to activate by investing in our facilities and creating a more robust supply chain:

Making processes safer for all

Streamlining the flow of your products into our stores

Enhancing operational capacity to support more stable and predictable demand

Faster inventory processing

Reduction of logistics friction

Improving our receiving window reliability

Making it easier for you to do business with us.

With the MoRDC now in operation, in time for the festive season, we’re excited to tackle the busiest trading period of the year. With the means to better deliver a superior service for our customers, and deliver value across our entire supply chain, the MoRDC will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our joint business. We look forward to collaborating with our suppliers to leverage this facility as we enter this exciting new chapter.
