trans-o-flex wins contract from Tech Data
Within the scope of an international invitation to tender, the trans-o-flex Group has won the American Tech Data Corporation as its new customer. The second largest distributor of computer products had invited companies to place their bid for a contract covering the shipment takeover and preparation in the company’s European central warehouse in Bor (Czech Republic) as well as the distribution of the goods in Germany. The daily volume concerned amounts to several thousands of parcels and several hundreds of pallets and will now be distributed via the trans-o-flex network. In Bor, a team of at least 15 members will take over the shipments directly from Tech Data’s 35,000-m² large warehouse, scan the parcels, arrange the pallets according to route and protect the goods with foils. From Bor, all of trans-o-flex’s six hubs in Germany are then directly approached. For shipments picked up before 10:30 p.m., this system ensures nation-wide delivery within 24 hours. As the majority of customer orders received by late afternoon is made out by Tech Data and handed over to trans-o-flex on the very same day, often less than 24 hours pass by from order receipt to delivery. There were not less than three good reasons to select trans-o-flex: the company’s ability to transport both packages and palletised goods in an efficient network, its experience in offering all services from a single source because the specialists from trans-o-flex’s subsidiary trans-o-flex Logistik-Service are also able to steer all of the upstream and downstream logistic processes and, last but not least, its focus on specialising in logistic solutions for selected industries, including not only the pharmaceutical and healthcare segments but also the consumer electronics and home entertainment industries. In view of the goods’ value and sensitivity, top priority is given to ensuring transport safety and a careful handling to avoid damage. All this together represents a combination of competencies that have made trans-o-flex the first choice also for numerous other customers. |
