A satellite company cut costs and gained full traceability by outsourcing inventory management with Aerodoc.
Supporting specialized logistics operations is the heart of what we do. In the satellite industry, where equipment is valuable and delicate, every step must be handled with precision and care.
When a prominent satellite company approached us to improve the management of their inventory, they needed more than a conventional provider. They required a partner ready to take on low-volume, high-sensitivity operations that most logistics companies prefer to avoid.
Aerodoc developed a custom solution that provided full visibility, reliable handling, and lower fixed costs, helping the company stay competitive in a demanding market.
Customer Challenge
Our customer sought to reduce operational expenses while processing a higher volume of inbound and outbound shipments of sensitive equipment. Traditional logistics providers often rejected them or deprioritized their operations because the inventory didn’t generate high turnover or volume. Additionally, much of their equipment could not be stacked or stored using standard practices, requiring extra care and space.
The most urgent need of this company was a partner who could deliver a reliable process, maintain detailed control over each asset, and adapt to specialized handling requirements without increasing costs.
Complexity
This operation involved managing components that demanded specialized storage conditions and meticulous tracking. Equipment had to be serialized and identified to guarantee accurate inventory records. Because items could not be stacked, transport and warehousing options were limited, which drove up expenses and complicated scheduling.
The challenge was finding a logistics provider willing to embrace complexity and treat these shipments with the same priority as high-volume and rotation projects.
Aerodoc Solution
Aerodoc designed a process that aligned precisely with the customer’s needs. We implemented a fully outsourced inventory management system where each item was cataloged and traceable in real-time through a dedicated online platform. This approach provided complete visibility across every stage of the operation, including inbound receipt and outbound dispatch.
Our teams handled each piece of equipment with the necessary care, assuring safe storage and movement while allowing the customer to focus on their core activities without concern for daily logistics operations.
Conclusion
The collaboration allowed the satellite company to reduce fixed costs and improve its responsiveness to market demands. Aerodoc’s ability to deliver precise, dependable service proved that even the most specialized logistics challenges can be solved with the right expertise.
This success story illustrates how Aerodoc capitalizes on complex supply chain requirements to deliver a competitive advantage for its customers.
