Relocation of spare parts warehouse and storage optimization

Within a month, GEFCO Russia team found a warehouse that met all the client’s requirements: it was located close to the client’s office, had sufficient capacity, and had all the necessary transportation, production, technological, and support infrastructure. The rate for the services has been fixed for one year. The 3PL service package covered all administrative work for the warehouse lease, including documentation preparation.

After this, logisticians organized a seamless relocation* of all spare parts from the old warehouse to the new one. The relocation was completed in 1 day, and cargo acceptance took 2 days.

The client supervised the acceptance and unloading of their products at the new warehouse. Transparency is one of GEFCO Russia’s key principles: clients can find out what’s happening with their order at any stage.

GEFCO Russia experts then organized the storage of 600+ spare part SKUs**, setting up cellular and rack storage systems for optimal inventory management.

* Seamless relocation is a comprehensive solution that allows the client to move all material assets to a new warehouse without interrupting core operations.

**SKU (stock keeping unit) is a unique code assigned to each type of product in a warehouse. It helps to determine exactly what kind of product it is, how much of it is in stock and where it is located. This minimizes the time required for finding goods in the warehouse, simplifies accounting and timely replenishment of stock, improves reporting for sales analysis purposes, optimizes costs, etc.
