LOGISTICS & ORDER FULFILLMENT
Multi-User Logistics Facilities
We can provide shared warehouse solutions pan India. This means that you can benefit from the economies of scale of our multi-user logistics sites, because you only pay for the space you use from one month to the next. Many of our clients ask us to replicate the processes of an existing facility already run by them in another state as part of their expansion strategy. We are experts at managing projects of this type, and such is our reach that we can rapidly provide multi-channel logistics solutions almost anywhere in the world, with careful project management.
Contract Logistics
ADVANTAGE also offers dedicated site solutions on a contract logistics basis. We can provide as much consultation and project management as necessary to ensure your exclusive logistics operation is designed professionally, with your business requirements in mind, sited in the right location(s) and run the way you want it run. All of this is done within the parameters of your budget and in alignment with your goals, on a win/win supplier partner basis.
This enables you to reinvest the working capital that would otherwise have been consumed through real estate costs, personnel resources and other costs associated with the burden of running your own operation – so you can concentrate on building your business. ADVANTAGE’s contract logistics services include product launches, manufacturing (light assembly) pick and pack, eCommerce, order receipt and fulfilment, inventory, replenishment and management of suppliers and clients.
eCommerce Fulfillment
Through our extensive network, we can provide multi-regional inventory stocking locations – enabling you to offer a local delivery experience and service without the cost infrastructure and burden of your own operation, so that you can concentrate on your international web sales strategy.
