CEVA Logistics has signed a three-year agreement worth €6.5 million with Samsung to manage the supply chain for its air conditioners in Italy.
CEVA will run the entire operation, including handling customs clearance in the port of Genoa, storage in the CEVA warehouse in Pognano, near Bergamo and final distribution to end users in Italy. Given the highly seasonal nature of the activity, CEVA's solution guarantees Samsung the greatest operative flexibility, managing approximately 230,000 packages every year, with 50% of the total volume being handled in four months of the year.
CEVA enables Samsung to monitor the entire logistics operation through the latest technology, including delivery tracking with computerized interface and dedicated web portal, assuring complete visibility in real time for every stage of the operation. CEVA will handle reverse logistics activities, including receipt of return and re-stocking of product. Upon request, CEVA will also undertake value-add services such as re-packaging, re-labelling and market configuration of products. To complete the service offered to Samsung, CEVA will create a specific area for the quality control of products.
Daniele Farinella, Logistics Director at Samsung, said: "We have chosen CEVA as our logistics partner as it has planned a personalized and highly flexible service for Samsung, able to adapt to the demand fluctuations that characterize our business. CEVA has also shown considerable concern for the environment which is absolutely in line with Samsung's own company strategy, for example using a site equipped with solar panels for the independent production of clean energy."
