Bespoke solutions to optimize production
For the Automotive industry, Elanders offers almost every service in the supply chain. Within Automotive today, logistics providers must be flexible and able to quickly react to changes, since the market is in the midst of a shift from traditional combustion engines to climate neutrality, electrical power and more self-driving vehicles. The ability to handle changes and support different kinds of products in the supply chain is pivotal.
The Group’s key strength is the ability to develop and customize solutions together with the clients. As a reliable logistics partner, Elanders organizes an efficient flow of the components needed when the clients are manufacturing their cars. Elanders performs services and handles the supply of components in all stages, from the first idea for a new car model to pre-assembly, serial production and the return of empty packaging after use.
Elanders furthermore offers to act as the control tower for the client’s transports. This entails managing orders to freight forwarders all over Europe, as well as operating the cross-dock center where all components are handled before being delivered to the production line. The status for incoming components is checked to foresee and act on any delays, orders are split into smaller consignments and components delivered to the factories in sequence and just-in-time. At the other end of the production line, empty packaging and boxes used upon delivery are cleaned up and reused for the next delivery of components.
