Outbound Logistics

Once produced, goods need to be delivered to customers in a cost-effective way that still meets expectations regarding service and availability. KWE puts its extensive experience in warehousing and distribution of finished goods at the disposal of clients worldwide.

In most of our warehouses, KWE stores raw materials, finished products and spare parts. For straightforward storage or other regular warehousing requirements we offer shared facilities, which will lead to lower cost for our customers. We can also design and implement customised storage facilities with additional features, including:

• Dedicated warehousing
• Multi-user warehousing
• Bonded warehousing
• VMI solutions
• Customised WMS solutions

We can organise and manage all inbound and outbound transportation among suppliers and warehouses or production facilities. This can include transport by air, sea or land. Whether it is a purchased or managed transportation arrangement, we oversee and manage the entire process directly. In some countries we offer tailor made distribution solutions.

Examples of other services that we offer in the outbound logistics area are:

Line-hauls

KWE take care of the bulk transportation movement of products between two customer locations, for example a local warehouse and a regional distribution centre.

Home delivery

KWE deliver furniture and electrical appliances directly into the homes of our clients' customers. We offer services such as white glove delivery, removal of packaging and installation of Furniture items.

Installation

KWE handle the installation of goods or parts at offices or in other work environments.

Picking and packing

In most of the KWE warehouse operations, we provide order picking and pick & pack services. We collect items in the warehouse to combine them into individual customer orders. We use the latest and most innovative systems to carry out these functions to reach the highest possible quality performance levels.

Returns Logistics

We can manage the returns process for unwanted or damaged goods. These will be reused, repaired or environmentally disposed of on behalf of the customer.

Reverse Logistics

This involves the flow of surplus or unwanted material back through the supply chain after meeting customer demand.

Sub-assembly

This is the assembly of a component from individual parts before onward distribution.
