What is On-site logistics?
On-site Logistics, also known as in-house logistics or internal logistics, means that a logistics partner manages warehouse operations at the customer’s own premises.
At , you do not have to choose between outsourcing your entire warehouse operation and managing everything yourself. Your operations stay at your premises, while we bring our experience in warehousing and staffing directly into your logistics flows. There is no need to invest in new infrastructure.
What Our On-site logistics service includes
We can take responsibility for each of the following activities separately or manage them as one complete operation. You choose the scope. We take care of the work.
Inbound logistics
We receive, inspect and register incoming goods. This keeps inventory balances accurate and ensures that goods are stored in the right place. A well-structured inbound process lays the foundation for everything that follows.
Material handling
We move, replenish and pick materials throughout the warehouse based on consumption and demand. Efficient material handling shortens lead times and reduces both waste and downtime. In production environments, this is often where the greatest time savings can be achieved.
Production logistics
We supply production with the right materials exactly when they are needed. On-site production logistics brings particular value to manufacturing and industrial operations, where production may come to a halt as soon as materials run out.
Outbound logistics
We pick, pack and prepare orders for dispatch. Fast and accurate outbound logistics helps ensure that your customers receive the right products at the promised time.
Warehouse personnel
We staff your operations with experienced warehouse personnel and adjust the team as volumes change. If you need standalone staffing services without operational responsibility, we can provide those too.
A third option for your warehouse
Many companies face a choice between two alternatives: outsourcing the entire warehouse operation or managing everything themselves. On-site Logistics offers a third option.
We establish the operation at your premises using proven working methods, digital tools and experienced leadership. Fixed costs become variable, capacity follows your volumes, and the warehouse can develop from a cost centre into a competitive advantage. Outsourcing selected parts of your in-house logistics can generate cost savings of 10–30%.
How It Works
We start in your warehouse. Everything begins with an on-site review of your logistics flows, volumes and bottlenecks. You show us what needs to work better.
The solution takes shape. We explain which activities we can take over, how the operation will be staffed and what it will cost. The agreement sets out the scope and start date.
We set up at your premises. Our people, equipment and systems are put in place at your facilities. We make sure our operation works smoothly with your existing processes and routines. During the initial phase, we work side by side with your team.
We continuously develop the operation. We manage the day-to-day activities and adjust capacity as volumes change. When we identify an improvement, we make it part of the way we work.
