From the initial request for picking several components to the reception and successful assembly, every step must be closely monitored and supported by your logistics partner.
As the world becomes increasingly globalized and digitalization removes barriers while transforming industries, it’s crucial to have a state-of-the-art logistics service tailored to your company’s needs.
Aerodoc excels at meeting the precise requirements for efficient storage and distribution of goods, which is especially vital in the IT sector, where frequent shipments of complex technology solutions are standard.
Aerodoc specializes in this area and is the preferred choice of leading technology companies. We offer a customized logistics service that can transport, store, and import technology solutions across all continents.
The Importance of Tailored Logistics
For technology companies, combining their technical requirements with transport systems, suppliers, import requirements, transportation, and specific needs along the supply chain is essential but complex. In this sense, they find Aerodoc a key ally involved throughout the process, with the necessary know-how to provide advice and security.
Aerodoc receives the shipment, checks its condition, and creates a kit with its different components in the system. It then stores the shipment in a bin associated with the kit, virtually and physically identifying what it is made of.
“For instance, you might have a 10-piece kit in 3 bins. In inventory, there are only three visible packages. However, our system allows customers to see all ten components of the kit, even though we’ve only inventoried three bins.”
Aerodoc works with each customer to ensure we can meet their needs, considering where the supplies must be picked up and which country they need to enter to make their delivery effective.
Aerodoc’s Portal Kits
To optimize inventory management and ensure timely deliveries, Aerodoc has implemented a pre-compliance system that captures all necessary documentation, requirements, and components for each customer’s technology solutions. The company utilizes an ERP software platform, specifically the SAP portal, to enhance visibility, streamline inventory processes, and provide strategic data such as order dates and receipts.
This portal lets users track their products throughout their journey, place orders, and manage shipments. Additionally, the software creates “kits” tailored for companies handling technology solutions with multiple components.”
“This feature, specially developed by Aerodoc for our IT clients, involves cataloging inventory by item, grouping several elements of a technology solution, and simplifying the shipping process. These kits are customized to meet the specific needs of each company,” says Estefanía Sisatzky, Senior VP of OPS & Customer Service at Aerodoc.
For instance, the portal offers satellite kits encompassing all necessary hardware components like antennas, cables, stands, tripods, and amplifiers. “Our clients procure components from different global suppliers, and we assemble these into a kit for shipping to the final destination,” Sisatzky explains.
Aerodoc’s ERP technology significantly reduces delivery failures. As Sisatzky highlights, “Through our ERP, customers can order a predefined kit, saving them the time and hassle of repeatedly selecting each component for a technology solution. This system ensures accurate deliveries without misplaced or incorrect parts and provides visibility into stock levels by kit.“
“The added value that Aerodoc provides through the management of technology kits is significant,” notes Cecilia Sandoval, US Operation & IT Solution Team Leader at Aerodoc. “It not only enhances the visibility of the components but also simplifies the transfer, tracking, and reception by consolidating all necessary items for operation into a single Kit.”
