At Supply Chain Solutions, we understand all of these intricacies relating to contract warehousing and distribution.

The Most Basic Warehousing and Distribution Tip to Follow

In the recent past, a lot has been said about the importance of 4 PL in establishing a better supply chain solution. While it certainly is important for businesses to graduate from 3PL to 4PL, a lot also depends on the type of warehousing and distribution firm that you partner with.

The most basic rule to follow here would be to choose a non-asset based organization. That’s because such organizations have their own governance and they are free to partner with the best suppliers. As a business owner, this is in the best of your interests because you get maximum value for your money.

On the other hand, if you choose to partner with an asset-based organization, here’s what happens. Such firms are mostly multinationals that are bound to their own networks for warehousing and distribution. Obviously, they have a clear mandate to support their own networks over others so as to increase their own profitability. This approach will certainly give an impetus to their business. But we can’t say if it will do the same for your business!

This is one of the reasons why most clients choose Supply Chain Solutions over our competitors. Our core commitment has always been towards contract warehousing. This has held us in good stead even today—over a decade after our inception. We have successfully moved from being a 3PL logistics provider and now offer world-class 4PL services.

As things stand today, we are the largest independently owned specialist contract warehouse operator in New Zealand. To learn more about how we can accentuate your business with our warehousing and distribution capabilities, please visit us at http://portal.supplycs.com.

It’s Time to Upgrade from 3PL Logistics to 4PL Logistics

      The one thing that sets us apart from our contemporaries is the fact that Supply Chain Solutions is the largest independently owned contract warehousing operator in New Zealand. Since we are a non-asset based 4PL logistics organization, we are free to work entirely in our customers’ interest. On the contrary, our competitors are multinationals who are asset-based organizations and are bound to their own networks with a mandate to support them. This may not always be best for you as a client but it is always best for them.

From being a 3PL logistics firm at inception, we have steadily but strategically evolved into a fourth party logistics provider. Given our status as an independently owned and governed status, we have been able to develop and provide a number of ‘first-to-market’ solutions. And, we have done all this while focusing on our core competency of contract warehousing.

We have serviced some of the biggest names in the Asia Pacific region, which has left us with volumes of experience. Supply Chain Solutions has over 120 accounts and we manage over 20,000 pallet positions in Auckland and Christchurch. Clearly, we have discovered the formula to enhance our customers’ profits and margins by employing the best 4PL logistics practices.

At Supply Chain Solutions, we are firm believers of the fact that technology can take our business, as well as the business of our clients to a whole new level. That’s precisely why our offerings such as the SCS Supply Chain Portal have streamlined the most complex aspects of warehousing and distribution.

As more and more companies are switching over to fourth party logistics from 3PL logistics, we recommend that you do the same. To learn more about our world-class facilities and offerings, please visit us at http://portal.supplycs.com.

If you are considering a switch from a 3PL logistics provider to a 4PL, we are the perfect choice.

        With the burgeoning demand for storage and warehousing services, industry leaders often tend to choose Supply Chain Solutions over other firms in the market. That’s because our contract warehousing is our core business, making us the undisputed specialists in this sector. Most of our competitors happen to be asset-based multinationals and are tied to their own networks with a directive to support them. This approach doesn’t always work in clients’ interest.

And all our solutions are developed with our end users in mind even as we offer fully focused warehousing services. Over time, we have evolved from a 3PL logistics provider to a 4PL logistics provider.

Established since 2001, we offer many years of focused experience. We have grown at a breakneck speed. Our many ‘first-to-market’ solutions have given a further impetus to our growth process. Whether you require procurement, inventory management or demand management services, we offer you an entire platter of tailor-made choices.

With the increased demand for warehousing and distribution, SCS has risen to the occasion to implement cutting-edge technology in all our services. We implement solutions such as closed circuit TV monitoring, access control and monitored alarms. In addition, the SCS Supply Chain Portal helps you manage your entire supply chain from a single desktop.
