Inbound logistics refers to the detailed plans focused on moving component parts, packaging, and material from supplier to manufacturer, often via multiple locations. In the Automotive & Mobility industry, finding the tailored solution fit to provide visibility, reduce risk, and improve control seamlessly is part of a successful supply chain.

We offer cost predictability, such as flexible pricing and alternative service options, capacity certainty, such as meeting production demand and matching service level to transit times; service reliability, meeting need by dates; and commitment flexibility, such as forecasting over six months change, and linking inventory levels to consumer buying patterns. These different features and our several strategic initiatives allow for a reliable and efficient inbound logistics program.
