CHALLENGE
Instrumentation Laboratory required a more streamlined reverse logistics program which could be coordinated with the installation of finished goods deliveries, and which would also enable the business to improve service levels for customers including hospitals, doctor’s offices and clinics.
SOLUTION
SEKO MedTec was selected to provide finished goods installations, and reverse logistics including decontamination and other specialized services. SEKO now manages all outbound shipments and return shipments to and from the Instrumentation Laboratory facility in Bedford, Massachusetts.
All time definite appointments are coordinated at each delivery location, using SEKO MedTec certified drivers to meet with the client. All units which are not field destroyed are also decontaminated by SEKO MedTec, before final delivery back to Instrumentation Laboratory as refurbished stock.
RESULT
Instrumentation Laboratory is now able to concentrate on its core business by outsourcing and streamlining its finished goods and reverse logistics program to SEKO MedTec. As a result of the successful implementation of the program in the United States, Instrumentation Laboratory is now looking to make SEKO its global single source logistics provider around the world.
