Focus on what you do best. Get your team members off the receiving docks and back on your production lines. Partner with someone who can manage your materials process for you and identify errors, ensure accuracy, and improve your efficiency.

2. “If you manage construction or
other large-scale projects, how do
you receive shipments of parts and
materials, make sure they’re in
good order, and get them to the
right workstation?

3. THE CHALLENGE
Our customer develops and creates
production lines for high-volume
manufacturers, including some of
America’s largest companies. They
design automated and semi-automated
production lines and then build and
install those lines in their customer's’
facilities.
3
The 5 Main Challenges ➜

4. #1: Variety of Vendors
Bearings, nuts, bolts, belts, and more have
to be shipped from a variety of vendors to
the customer’s location. Our customer then
has to sort those materials, get them to the
right workstations, and get the job done.

5. #2: No Receiving Process in Place
There’s no receiving process in place. This is a
pop-up job. They set up camp in their
customer’s facility for a few days, do the job,
and get out. They have to establish a receiving
process from scratch on every job.

6. #3: Contractors
Our customer hires contractors to do much
of the installation. That third party is there to
do one job: install the equipment. They’re not
there to receive materials, sort through
crates, or distribute materials to the correct
workstation.

7. #4: Compacted Time Frames
Our customer deals with compacted
timeframes. They’re assembling lines in
their customer’s facility. The turnaround
time is paramount. If an essential part is
missing, that could throw off their entire
schedule.

[ CONTINUED ]

8. #5: Team Members
They needed to use their team members to
unload and sort the materials. Many of
those team members are skilled and
experienced technicians whose core
competencies are line design and
installation. Their talents are better served
installing the line as quickly as possible,
not unloading crates off of trucks.

9. “Our customer knew they could work
faster, smarter, and more
profitably if they had a more
efficient process for receiving
materials. They turned to us for a
solution.

THE SOLUTION ➜

11. Step #1: Our team members show up onsite to
receive all of their materials.
We use our software, which integrates
seamlessly with our customer’s own technical
platform. The software gives us and the
customer complete transparency, so we know
exactly which parts should arrive at which
facility, and when they should get there.
11

12. Step #2: When a container arrives, we scan it
and unload it.
The system is automatically updated so
everyone knows the status of the shipment.
We then scan each crate and, if necessary,
scan each part or material inside of each
crate. In some instances, we manage the
entire process from the time the material
leaves the vendor to the time it reaches its
final workstation.
12

13. Step #3: We inspect all shipments for non-
conforming and damaged goods.
We initiate the return merchandise authorization
process as soon as we detect a product that
doesn’t meet quality standards. We’re then able to
get it replaced quickly, avoiding lengthy delays in
the installation timeline.

14. 14
This solution allows our customer to shift their team members away from the
receiving dock and back onto the production floor. We get the parts where
they need to be and the customer focuses solely on assembling their design.
It allows them to spend their time, energy, and resources on doing what they
do best, which is always a formula for more efficient work.

15. “The service has been so successful
that we are now opening it up to
other manufacturing and industrial
companies.
We have four different levels of service available ➜
15

16. #1: Container Management:
Our base level of service. We scan and check-in
containers as they enter your facility. You can see in
real time which shipments have made it through
your doors. After we check-in the container, we hand
it over to your team.
16

17. #2: Handling Unit Management:
We check in containers, but then take it
a step further. We also unload the
containers, scan each individual crate,
box, or other package, and then deliver
those boxes to the appropriate work
station.
17
[ CONTINUED ]

18. #3: Item Management:
In this level of service, we get down to the actual
materials inside each crate. We scan each
individual item so it shows up in our logistic
software, which should integrate seamlessly with
your platform. Whether it’s large equipment or
parts as small as nuts and washers, we inventory
all of it to make sure it’s accurate before delivering
the parts to their final destination.
18
[ CONTINUED ]

19. #4: All-Inclusive Logistics Management:
Our most comprehensive service. In
this package, we offer pre-shipment
and transportation visibility, meaning
we will monitor the materials before
they leave the vendor and as they are
en route to your facility.
19
[ CONTINUED ]

20. 20
In all of these packages, we inspect for quality so we can identify errors and
dysfunctional parts as soon as possible. We also use our inventory control
system to catalog materials as they move through your process. That way,
you have an archived record of when, where, and how your materials were
delivered. We can sync that delivery with your production schedule to provide
just-in-time delivery as materials are needed.

21. 21
Focus on what you do best. Get your team members off the receiving docks
and back on your production lines. Partner with someone who can manage
your materials process for you and identify errors, ensure accuracy, and
improve your efficiency.
