Reverse logistics. The term may sound a little strange, but an understanding of the concept is quite meaningful -- in fact, necessary -- for businesses to survive and prosper in today's competitive world. Most large businesses are quite adept at acquiring assets, and have well established purchasing procedures which cross all the t's and dot all the i's. More often than not, these same companies have entire departments built around the purchasing function and sometimes an additional contracting organization which provides support and guidance to the actual buyers. There is likely a whole logistics department, which controls the physical handling of the assets, from inbound receipts to internal client delivery.

But what happens when those assets are no longer required? Who identifies surplus or idle assets, targets them for removal, oversees the entire removal process, ensures that the company receives maximum value in return for those assets which are removed, and offers assurance that any necessary recycling is performed in a responsible way? This is the world of reverse logistics, and is the area of Midwest Global Re-Logistics. Midwest Global works with clients large and small to identify opportunities for idle assets recovery. Working closely with the clients, MGR helps to determine appropriate avenues of disposition which will allow the customer to realize maximum returns for surplus or obsolete assets. Generating positive cash flow from underutilized assets - this is the first and most obvious advantage of using services offered by Midwest Global Re-Logistics.

Beyond the generation of revenue, many clients also utilize our capabilities on an outsourced basis as an opportunity to reduce overhead. Some have even closed entire warehousing or recycling facilities after discovering the efficiencies of Midwest Global. By managing our business intelligently and strictly adhering to a policy of continuous quality improvement, we are able to maintain a level of overhead, which is much lower than of our typical client. We can therefore pass on considerable savings while performing the disposition/recycling functions in a highly efficient manner. This efficiency serves as a powerful enabler for our clients to "rightsize" both internal workforce and facilities.

In keeping with the focus of Group Midwest and our continuing commitment to excellence, Midwest Global's expertise lies mainly in the realm of telecommunications equipment, information technology products, and office equipment. We are proud members of both the Investment Recovery Association, the North American Association of Telecommunications Dealers, and the Council of Logistics Management. With the advent of digital telephony equipment, and particularly with the Internet and other media for data transmission, there exists an increasingly fine line between telephony and computing. Because of this, our team is skilled in both disciplines and can handle assets recovery and disposition of everything from an entire central office to a single PC monitor. And we do so in a fully EPA-compliant environment, capable of safely handling virtually all the common telephony HAZMAT materials (lead, PCB, mercury, krypton, bromide, ect.) We are serious in our duty to maintain a healthy environment, another tangible statement of our continuing commitment to excellence.

We would be delighted for the opportunity to help your company excel. If you would like to learn more, please give us a ring.
