Introduction
When Nishat Mills urgently required 200 tonnes of corn cob for their boilers, Babar Aziz Balers rose to the challenge—despite relying on third-party trollies and open transport. In just 4 days, we coordinated ten 10-wheeler trollies to source, pack, and deliver over half-a-million mann of biomass from remote collection points, proving that speed, trust, and clear processes can overcome any logistical hurdle.
Client Challenge
-
- Urgent Timeline: Nishat Mills needed a supply of 200 tonnes of corn cob within five days.
-
- Open-Load Logistics: Unlike our typical baled shipments, this order was loose cargo, risking spillage, moisture damage, and load variability.
-
- Rural Sourcing: Raw material sites—Jhulkey, Allahabad, Dhing Shah, Kelo, Talwandi, and Hujra Shah Muqeem—lie off the motorway, requiring local road navigation and night-time delivery windows.
Our Solution
-
- Third-Party Vendor Network
-
- Engaged ten reliable local trolley owners, paid in advance, and built rapport through daily site visits and on-the-spot payments.

- Third-Party Vendor Network
-
- Quality Assurance & Accountability
-
- Vendors bore responsibility for quality: payment was strictly for the weight delivered to the mill, incentivizing them to supply clean, dry corn cob.
-
- Quality Assurance & Accountability
-
- Route & Schedule Planning
-
- Used the Kasur–Depalpur local road network, with deliveries after 11 PM (standard for trollies in Lahore).
-
- Coordinated via direct calls to drivers and to our contacts at Nishat (Mr. Amir Saeed, Mr. Kashif Naeem, Mr. Azeem) to ensure each load was promptly processed.
-
- Route & Schedule Planning
-
- Trip-By-Trip Arrangement
-
- Each trolley made one trip per night. Across three nights, ten trollies completed 10 trips—totaling 200 tonnes.

Results & Lessons Learned
-
- On-Time Delivery: All 200 tonnes arrived within the 4-day window, despite daily price fluctuations.
-
- Minimal Spillage: Achieved a 95% yield, thanks to careful packing and vendor accountability.
-
- Strong Vendor Partnerships: Because payments were prompt and transparent, vendors remained cooperative and reliable.
-
- Key Takeaway: Always maintain a buffer stock and monitor price trends—our next order (1,000 tonnes) will leverage this insight to optimize cost and speed.
Future Outlook
Building on this success, Babar Aziz Balers plans to:
-
- Scale open-load operations to 1,000 tonnes, engaging 100+ trollies.
-
- Invest in a dedicated fleet of 10-wheeler trollies for faster motorway access.
-
- Develop covered storage “barracks” to protect future loose-load biomass and ensure year-round quality.
