We support you with our services in all areas related to your plant logistics! To guarantee your production processes with minimal line inventory while ensuring maximum supply reliability, we offer, among other things, supplier warehouse management, Consignment warehouse, Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS), as well as shuttle and on-site transportation services.

Supplier Warehouse Management

• Using a supplier warehouse is ideal for consolidating the various inbound material flows from different suppliers. Benefit from material stocks located close to the plant and optimized delivery flows, while keeping inventory levels on your production line low.

Consignment warehouse

• A consignment warehouse is a storage agreement between a supplier or manufacturer and a customer, under which the supplier’s products or materials are stored in the customer’s warehouse but remain the property of the supplier until the products are actually consumed or used by the customer.
• Your benefits: high flexibility with minimal capital tied up

Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS)

• We deliver your production materials Just-in-Time (JIT)—at the right time and in the right quantity—to the point of use in your production facility.
  
  
• With our Just-in-Sequence (JIS) services, you can rest assured that your materials will be delivered in the precise sequence required for integration into the production process, ensuring smooth production and high quality.

Shuttle and On-Site Transportation

• We handle the transport of materials or components between different areas within your plant or between different production sites.
