Construction Logistics
Phoenix has developed an
industry-leading model combining logistics, warehousing,
distribution, project management, and customer service.
This enables Phoenix to manage the entire indirect
infrastructure of our customers construction projects in
order to deliver them to our customers at a savings.
Phoenix handles the logistics for all of the fixtures,
equipment, and construction items for each project. This
includes assisting our customers in the planning phase
and coordinating shipments from hundreds of suppliers,
both domestic and international. Phoenix ships the
fixtures, equipment, and construction items into a
warehouse or ‘staging point’, which is regionally
located, based on our customers’ growth patterns. Once
the equipment arrives at Phoenix’s ‘staging point’,
Phoenix maintains inventory of the equipment, then has
project management/customer service personnel on our
customers’ job sites to assist in managing the project,
scheduling delivery of the equipment, etc. This process
of consolidation allows for multi-faceted savings for
our customers:
Benefits Include:
-
5-10% Freight Savings on over-all
freight cost for each store.
-
No lost or damaged items.
-
Just-In-Time (JIT) item delivery
allows for labor savings on the job-site. No
item is delivered until it is scheduled on the
job-site and ready to install.
-
Reduction in overall construction
project timeline (early openings for retailers,
etc).
-
Elimination of customers’ current
internal consolidation warehouse (if applicable).
-
Elimination of expedited
freight cost.
-
Free project management services.
-
Free coordination with all
suppliers.
-
Processing of all freight claims
– damaged items will be returned the vendor and
replaced by Phoenix.
Phoenix saves the retailer 5-10% on their overall
freight cost for each project (through freight
consolidation), then Phoenix provides all of the other
services to the retailer at no cost. So overall, our
customers gain multiple efficiencies and process
improvements on their job sites – and most importantly,
they save money doing it!!
F.A.Q's.
How is Phoenix able to
provide all of these services AND save our customers
money?
Phoenix utilizes an
industry-leading combination of systems, existing supply
routes (both international and domestic), world-class
employees, and existing infrastructure to provide these
services to our customers at no cost.
This sounds like a very
complex model. How difficult is it to implement?
Very easy. Phoenix
handles all of the leg-work. All we ask is for our
customers to specify on their purchase orders that
Phoenix will be the logistics-provider for that
particular project. Phoenix handles all of the
vendor coordination, etc.
What if my company has a
construction project in a remote area? Can Phoenix
handle these projects?
With
Phoenix’s current infrastructure, we can implement new
projects immediately in most parts of the United States
and Mexico. Phoenix can also implement new
projects quickly in new regions.
