Choice To Provide Logistics Services For 3PAR
Choice Logistics has been selected by 3PAR, a provider of utility storage, to manage mission-critical service parts logistics services for the company in Europe.
Choice said that its network of strategic stocking locations (SSL) has been contracted to support 3PAR clients throughout five countries, including Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Switzerland and the UK. It has been contracted to provide fulfillment of 3PAR’s mission-critical service parts to meet service level agreements (SLA), and also reverse logistics for returned parts.
In addition, 3PAR’s EMEA service parts operation was transitioned to Choice's SSL network and global inventory management platform, which integrated with 3PAR’s internal system. Choice carefully analyzed 3PAR’s installed base and leveraged SSLs in close proximity to each site to minimize travel distance and optimize on-time performance.
The company said that 3PAR has selected it to enhance its visibility and ability to track and manage inventory to meet SLAs. This real-time information helps 3PAR instantly locate parts to optimize inventory levels and enhance service to end-users.
Rusty Walther, vice president of customer services at 3PAR, said: As we continue to expand throughout EMEA, we view Choice’s flexibility and capacity to meet our evolving needs as a huge plus. We believe that their reliable processes and extensive global footprint make them an ideal partner to support our current clients and ongoing growth initiatives.
