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. |
