A complete logistics management solution from Kitron

17 May 2023 Insight into technology

As one of Scandinavia’s leading EMS suppliers, Kitron provides various services in the manufacturing, assembling, and testing of electronic products for the professional market. However, our services extend far beyond electronics production - Kitron also provides services throughout the entire value chain of electronics production, including logistics and distribution.

This means we manage the flow of components from suppliers all over the world to our manufacturing facilities in Europe, Asia, and the US, then onward to our customers, and in some cases, to our customers’ end customers. That is, we manage logistics throughout the entire value chain 24/7.

3PL total logistics solution

At Kitron, we work on partial or full chain management functions. We help take our customers' businesses to new levels by saving them inventory storage space, so there is room to grow the company, and saving costs on storage and shipping.

Based on customer needs, such as demands and delivery service requirements for their products and materials, Kitron offers integrated operations, warehousing, and transportation services. As an example, if we have a 3PL solution with a customer, we ship finalized products to the rented area in our factory. After that, the customer-owned products are picked up in their 3PL warehouse, packed, and sent to their end customer.

Along with manufacturing and assembly, we warehouse, cross dock, break bulk, and consolidate orders in transit to meet our customers' needs. We are experienced in managing inventory, ensuring on-time deliveries, and providing flexible logistics solutions.

Also, we manage the logistics flow to give customers a cost-effective advantage by meeting logistics timelines, factoring in safety margins, and reducing inventory costs. This means that we are able to optimize the delivery of their products, ensuring customers get the maximum value for their money. Kitron also offers a wide range of services that allow customers to customize their logistics according to their specific needs.

We also provide some of our customers with a safety stock solution, when we store an extra quantity of goods in the warehouse to prevent an out-of-stock situation. We simplify logistics so our customers can focus on their core competencies.

Savings through optimized distribution set-ups

We are proud to provide cost-effective solutions for our customers, allowing them to improve their bottom line. Our team is experienced in logistics and supply chain management, so they can rest assured that the products will arrive on time and in perfect quality. The setup eliminates the need for warehousing and distribution elsewhere, resulting in transportation and logistics savings.   

As a provider of end-to-end supply chain services, Kitron integrates people, processes, and technology to optimize financial performance and customer experience. Our customers have access to global, regional, national, and local distribution hubs.

There are many logistics and distribution centers at most of our facilities to serve the end consumers of our long-term partners. These services include picking, packing, and shipping the products, giving the flexibility to adjust capacity on a daily basis. We are proud to be able to grow our partnership and provide such a service that helps global companies remain competitive.

Our service is provided to a variety of customers in different market sectors with a range of products of different sizes and features - from small components to large end products. We have a wide range of solutions tailored to the specific needs of each customer. These solutions also include custom clearance – all the preparation and submission of documentation that is required to export or import goods into or out of a country.

Summary

By actively seeking the most suitable supply chain logistics options for our customers, Kitron improves their competitiveness. This allows our customers to focus on advancing their businesses instead of having to allocate resources. We manage logistics throughout the entire value chain 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Our flexible approach to logistics allows us to provide our customers with the most competitive solutions. Our goal is to create a sustainable supply chain that meets the needs of our customers and their end-use.
