London, 19
September 2011 - Leading academic publisher, McGraw-Hill Education, has
appointed SBS Worldwide as its freight forwarder and supply chain partner of
choice for all inbound air and sea consignments.

SBS will manage the logistics of cargo being
delivered to the McGraw-Hill Education EMEA headquarters in Maidenhead,
Berkshire, which will include inbound shipments from a diverse range of
locations, such as USA, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. 
 
The company will also facilitate a drop shipment
service for direct delivery to customer publishers and their respective freight
shippers.
 
As part of the agreement, McGraw-Hill Education will
use SBS’s award-winning Electronic Distribution Centre (eDC) tool, which will
give the company access to real time data on its global consignments – right
down to ISBN number. Through eDC, staff in every area of the McGraw-Hill
business will be able to track and manage shipments, measure KPIs and ensure
successful distribution of its books.
 
Steve Walker, Chairman at SBS Worldwide, said: “Our
eDC system has been developed with publishers’ needs in mind, enabling them to
move books quickly and efficiently across the globe, but also providing them
with a level of visibility and control they have never experienced before. We
are extremely excited to be working with one of the biggest players in
publishing and this contract is a landmark in our growing presence in the
industry.”
