From component procurement to retrieval of the finished product
Within the Electronics customer segment, Elanders is a well-established service provider with decades of experience. Clients demand end-to-end solutions to achieve efficient handling of large volumes of products and equipment that often need to be adapted to various geographical markets and types of users. The management of spare parts, repairs and handling of discarded equipment are also increasingly handed over to a partner in today’s outsourcing market.
Elanders offers to be the customers’ single point of contact for a wide range of services during the entire life cycle of the electronic product. The Group provides services starting off from the procurement of components, carrying out quality controls and just-in-time/sequence deliveries for manufacturing. When the products are finished, Elanders offers warehousing and distribution according to the customers’ wishes. A range of value-added services such as assembly of components, flashing software, country adaptation and consolidating orders are also offered. Furthermore, clients can get assistance with customs clearance, certain financial services and cross-border tax management.
Besides efficient delivery to end customers, Elanders’ clients can benefit from aftermarket services such as the supply of spare parts, repair/maintenance and updating of software or batteries. Once the end customer eventually discards the product, the services within Life Cycle Management can be added to circulate the product. There, the discarded equipment is collected and subsequently gets its data wiped and is either reconditioned and sold on the second-hand market or recycled after any reusable spare parts have been recovered.
