There is a challenge in the world of high-quality individual part packaging: different packaging and logistics costs depending on the supplier. The use of disposable boxes and bubble wrap not only causes waste for the recipient, but also a lot of effort and costs for the supplier. Our customer, a renowned manufacturer of exhaust systems for motorcycles from brands such as Harley-Davidson and BMW, has now found a solution to increase comparability and efficiency. They rely on an innovative, modular reusable system for freight forwarding with their suppliers, and sprintBOX, a company that not only takes care of the logistics, but also the billing of logistics and transport costs.
Reusable system in harmony with the environment
The concept is simple and effective: sprintBOX provides reusable containers on a rental basis that circulate in a closed circuit. The suppliers order the required containers as needed using the “sprintBOX Navigator”, an online container management software. sprintBOX transports the containers to the supplier, who fills them with goods. Thanks to a modular separation system in the containers, high-quality individual parts are safely packaged. The goods are then placed on pallets and transported to our customer via Schäflein Spedition. Our customer dismantles the products without the hassle of unpacking and without packaging waste, as the parts are used directly from the containers. The empty containers are collected on pallets and picked up by sprintBOX. After thorough cleaning and any repairs, the containers are put back into circulation.
Simplified billing and complete transparency
The special thing about this system is that sprintBOX not only handles the logistics, but also takes over the entire billing process for logistics and transport costs. This means that our customer no longer receives individual invoices for packaging and logistics costs from each supplier. Instead, there is a single billing that covers all costs, including container rental, transport and administration. The costs can therefore be clearly assigned to the individual supplier parts and are always the same.
The future of logistics is here
The “sprintBOX Navigator” software enables everyone involved to keep an overview of the container cycle at all times. All orders and transactions are recorded here, ensuring transparency. The system makes it possible to calculate packaging and logistics costs directly for each product and to compare production costs for supplier parts. With this innovative solution, our customer and sprintBOX have revolutionized the efficiency in the logistics process. If your company would also like to benefit from comparable costs and more sustainable logistics, you should consider this innovative concept. sprintBOX is at your disposal to shape the future of your logistics.
