Electronics logistics services explained
Logistics and distribution services can vary. This is true in North America, Europe or Asia. Yet, as Asia evolves, particularly India and China, we will see leading providers of transportation, logistics and distribution services in Asia (and elsewhere) focus on capitalizing on the increasingly complex logistics needs for the manufacturing enterprise.
This includes reverse logistics. Some of the elements incorporated into true reverse logistics services available from contract electronics solutions providers include the following:
- Inbound logistics (VMI, IQC, testing, de-kitting…)
- Outbound logistics (pack out, direct fulfillment, freight management…)
- Sourcing and procurement (packaging, labels…)
- Quality reporting (EDI, FTP, closed-loop…)
- Repair operations (defect analysis, repair, EOL…)
Each of the above can be further broken down into more detailed services and value-add. Contact Venture Outsource for more detailed information about end-to-end logistics services and capable providers in contract electronics services industry.
Trends in logistics and distribution services
Increasingly, 5G and other sensor-based and connected networks are playing a crucial role in monitoring and tracking raw materials and finished goods for sophisticated logistics companies and third-party logistics (3PL) providers deploying multi-access edge computing.
For example, transportation vehicles can already transport in closely-linked, automated and controlled convoys (whether human-lead or unmanned machines and equipment). Some convoys are controlled by remote controllers. Benefits here can include reduced traffic congestion and lower energy and fuel transport costs supported by artificial intelligence and large language models or data lakes designed by subject matter experts (SME) familiar with industry-specific best practices.
This type of remotely controlled or self-driving transportation require reliable and ultra-fast communication between vehicles and infrastructure so investment in capable telecommunications equipment and ultra-fast networking servers or strategic cloud computing services is important.

Distribution network strategy: Bottom-up vs top-down
Some equipment manufactures only want to work with distributors, separately, and not source this service to their contract manufacturers. In such cases, in your distributor selection process, one of the most important decisions you will make is based on which geographical level you want to consolidate and leverage your spending: country-based, regional-based or globally.
Some questions manufacturers must ask themselves include: How many facilities or branches do we have around the world? What are the functions, hence purchasing needs, of each branch? Which countries do we have branches in? Which factors can influence my purchasing strategy specific to a particular country? Should I be looking at a broader region than my current local market or, perhaps globally?

Depending on the differences in your geographical needs – relative to narrow or wide scope – you can have varying degrees of leverage you can use on your distributor. Your scope requirements also determine the set of selection criteria used to select your distributor. Two strategy methodologies suggested are bottom-up distributor selection and top-down distributor selection. You can read more on this strategy, here.
