CHALLENGE
With new models in the pipeline and parts constantly being manufactured, MR-ST required a logistics partner who could quickly implement a reliable supply chain service from manufacturing factories in North and South China, to the assembly line in Wales – with full management and visibility also important to keeping production flowing, as the business rapidly continued to grow.
A robust PO management system on one single platform was therefore essential, in order for MR-ST to view available inventory and prioritize the much needed items - as well as a partner who could create localized relationships, help with the completion and negotiation of government licenses, and also offer fulfillment services in-country.
SOLUTION
With offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen, SEKO was able to initiate local relationships, which made the communication between both factories seamless - and through SEKO, each site was able to successfully arrange the completion of licenses.
By integrating the SEKO Harmony system, SEKO also enabled MS-RT to view available inventory with ease, so they could prioritize in-demand items, as well as view booked vessels and flight details. Invaluable in keeping all required documentation to hand, SEKO Harmony provided MS-RT with 24/7 access to packing lists, invoices, licenses and shipping documents, to help them manage manufacturing demands more efficiently. And with increased orders dictating the need for specific parts, the system’s ability to showcase availability and delivery timelines to the UK was all the more significant.
RESULT
SEKO empowered MR-ST to expedite manufacturing parts through multiple services, while always ensuring priority was given to the most urgent orders. SEKO’s flexibility of services and ability to make orders viewable online has now firmly improved MS-RT’s capacity to manage their supply chain.
