MediaRange changes for European package solution by trans-o-flex
trans-o-flex to provide all European warehouse and distribution services to MediaRange GmbH
MediaRange GmbH, the German producer of digital storage media and office supply products changes its European warehouse location and warehouse service provider using one-stop shop solutions. The entire inventory has been moved from the old warehouse in Frankfurt to trans-o-flex Logistik-Service’s local logistic centre in Frechen near Cologne. The sister company trans-o-flex Schnell-Lieferdienst is going to take over the Europe-wide distribution of MediaRange’s products.
“The package solution provided by trans-o-flex made it possible for us to significantly simplify our logistic processes“, says Markus Speer, Managing Director of the medium-sized specialist for IT accessories.The new location is clearly more favourable for both our procurement and distribution logistics. Since 80 % of MediaRange’s products are forwarded in sea containers to the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp, transport to the trans-o-flex logistic centre in Frechen is considerably faster. In addition the new warehouse is also closer to MediaRange’s large customers. Thanks to the new solution, many customers will receive shipments up to 24 hours earlier than before.
Apart from the cross-docking of particularly urgent shipments, the arriving containers are unloaded by the employees of trans-o-flex Logistik-Service in Frechen. The CDs, DVDs, Blue-ray Discs, USB sticks, SD cards as well as toner cartridges, photo paper, cables, batteries, accessories and packaging materials are palletised and stored in a high-level rack on some 1,500 pallets. Orders from MediaRange are transmitted directly to the warehouse administration system of trans-o-flex by means of a data line, thus automatically initiating the order-specific picking and packing. The European-wide shipment of the parcels and pallets is taken over by trans-o-flex Schnell-Lieferdienst, while trans-o-flex Logistik-Service organises the transportation of complete and partial deliveries to MediaRange’s key customers. The service also includes the examination and handling of returns as well as the preparation of customs documents for shipments into countries outside the EU.
