Solutions in Action

	National Computer Equipment Distribution Delicate electronics and related materials are delivered on-the-day on-the-hour to meet technicians for installation. Crating is eliminated cutting down significantly on shipping expense. Shipments are delivered to the site and placed installation-ready improving installation efficiency.
	Home Delivery After making appointments in advance, appliances and new furniture are delivered into the home within a window of time on a specific day. Shipments are unpackaged, inspected, assembled and debris is removed.
	Inventory Management Applying sophisticated Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) finished goods inventory is labeled and stocked in predefined warehouse locations. Some items are boxed and palletized on racks; related oversized componentry is staged elsewhere and tied back for whole order shipping. Inventory levels, location and status are fed to the client through radio frequency (RF) scanning equipment as product moves through the inbound, storage and outbound cycles. Stocking levels and release authorizations are internet-enabled.
	Office Relocation Research and Development client moves laboratory equipment, furniture, and supplies as well as offices 500 miles. Delicate measuring devices must be serviced, prepared and certified. Reference library containing over 20,000 technical journals must be cataloged. The move must be sequenced to minimize production downtime.
	International Plant Relocation Manufacturing company located inland US moves operations to the Far East. Requirements include all customs documentation, compliance, inventory and capital equipment, staff relocation and offices preparation, containerization and multi-modal transportation management. Storage and phased set-up overseas must be coordinated locally.

In addition to a project-specific organizational team, Service Management typically includes system performance measurements and reporting, customized training, development of product-specific handling systems and standards, IT systems integration and costing accountability.
