Material handling vehicles, overhead cranes, load containers, palletizing machines – warehouse and logistics tasks require a wide range of equipment, often supplied by different vendors. The wear and tear is different for each type of equipment, and the useful life varies accordingly. Add to this internationally distributed locations and – especially in contract logistics – fixed-term service contracts, and the efficient management of assets and contracts becomes a challenge that is as complex as it is critical to success.
Our TCO experts are here to help. They will assess your requirements using their many years of experience in the industry and extensive expertise in logistics and financial engineering. Which processes would you like to have covered? In which countries? What equipment do you need? On what terms? Which service partner is an option? Where can standardization help to increase efficiency?
We will find the optimal usage solution for you based on these factors and on TCO aspects, and then combine it all in a single contract with a single, predictable lease instalment. Independent of manufacturers and banks.
Do you operate in more than one country or on more than one continent? Thanks to our network of international offices, we are always at your side. We can easily adapt all contracts to the tax and legal environments of different countries. Nothing about the content changes – the terms & conditions stay the same for the framework agreement.
Do you operate in contract logistics? Then you will know how demanding efficient technology management can be when dealing with fixed-term contracts. We can support you in this respect by aligning the contract duration and the equipment lifecycle. We also continually monitor total cost of ownership while offering maximum flexibility. From the initial quote to remarketing.
If your customer renews your contract, you can extend the term with us for an adjusted lease instalment. And what if you want to flexibly finance your existing equipment? Not a problem: We can include the assets from your books in our contracts through our sale and leaseback model, and add the equipment to your individual usage solution. What’s more, we are generally able to manage your payments so flexibly that your liquidity is largely protected even in volatile markets.
Do you know which equipment is in use, and where? Who the manufacturer is? Whether the service and maintenance costs have changed? Our digital management platform, TESMA®, has the answers to these questions. It combines administrative and technical aspects in real time, providing full transparency of all asset data and enabling the exact and cause-related allocation of all costs.
For you, this means full invoice control and a transparent overview of all equipment – at all sites and in all countries. This solid base data will allow you to permanently increase the efficiency of your processes and benefit from further savings.
Add to this the professional support of our experts, and you have found the perfect non-captive, customized solution for your all of your equipment. Transparent, TCO-optimized, and on an international scale.
