The advantages of customised logistics solutions
Reception, control, storage, preparation, shipping… Whilst it may seem that companies all use the same logistics process, this is far from the actual case. Depending on the company’s business sector, the services offered to its customers, its specific products, and even its operational constraints, the logistics process varies from one company to another. To best meet clients’ needs, logistics service providers need to be able to define customised solutions, tailored to each client.
Adapting to the specific needs of each company
Regulatory constraints, personalised orders, seasonality, large or fragile products, or a diverse range of delivery methods… Companies have multiple needs to be considered in terms of transport and logistics. By using a logistics service provider that is capable of providing customised solutions, the company can access services that specifically meet its requirements.
Optimising logistics costs
By adapting their logistics processes to their specific needs, companies optimise their supply chain. Whether it’s for human, financial, digital or material resources, logistics service providers ensure that resources are scaled and distributed appropriately for the company’s logistics operations, in turn allowing for the costs of these operations to be adjusted accordingly,
Improving the quality of the client’s service
By offering customised orders and processes, logistics providers serve not only their clients, but also their clients’ customers. Custom logistics can thus offer a customer experience that is specific to each company, whether it operates in a BtoB or BtoC environment.
Flexibility to adapt to market changes
Fluctuations in demand, inventory variability, seasonality… Market changes are becoming increasingly frequent and unpredictable. To adapt to this, you need to work with a logistics provider that is capable of providing customised, real-time, flexible solutions — like Staci. By remaining agile throughout its supply chain, the company is more resilient to the ups and downs of the market.

Supply chain management
When it comes to warehouse supply, needs can vary considerably from one company to another. Depending on the sales channels, sourcing and the nature of its products, its supply management will need to be designed differently. So, service providers handling this type of activity need to offer custom solutions which are perfectly adapted to the requirements at hand.
Stock management
A company’s stock management evolves in line with multiple factors: Business sector, product seasonality, commercial offers, geographic zones covered… Just to name a few! For each of the requirements and strategies adopted by companies, Staci adapts its stock management processes.
Dispatch and delivery
The proliferation of sales and distribution channels has significantly complicated the logistical challenges of shipping and delivering goods. Here again, it’s important to be able to offer companies customised services that are developed to meet their needs, and also their customers’ needs.
Logistics flow tracking
Whatever the type of logistics flows a company is using, service providers must be able to offer precise and accurate real-time tracking. Through customisable tools that can be adapted to their customer processes, service providers need to make sure that companies have full visibility over their logistics flows, whatever their business sector.
Custom transport solutions
Optimised, custom transport solutions make it possible to develop, for each order, processes perfectly adapted to customer needs, taking into account key criteria such as delivery times, weight, volumes, and the various product destination points.
