Lean Supply Solutions

Waste is the enemy in the Lean Supply Solutions philosophy, and the company applies that idea to the warehouses, order desks and production lines of its customers. It provides contract logistics, warehousing, distribution and fulfillment, and says it serves clients in Canada, the United States and Mexico, with e-commerce fulfillment also offered in the United Kingdom.

What lean means in practice

The company defines lean methodology as removing operations, equipment and resources that add no value, so that the right products and services arrive at the right time, in the right quantity, with consistency. It combines this with its own information systems and quality systems and says it can show clients quantified savings. Its customers include large multinational manufacturers that want end to end supply chain strategies.

Order fulfillment and returns

Online orders need a flexible approach that can respond to changes in demand, and the company handles fulfillment for retailers and e-commerce sellers. Reverse logistics and returns management are part of the same service, including repair work in certain sectors so that damaged goods can be mended and resold.

Seeing the stock

Keeping shelves full depends on knowing inventory levels and purchasing trends. For that the company uses real time inventory management software, supply chain tracking based on radio frequency tags and radio frequency warehouse management systems.

Inside the plant and across borders

On the manufacturing side it offers in-plant services such as point-of-use delivery, which brings parts to the production line. For importers and exporters it describes global trade tariff solutions, including warehousing in a foreign trade zone to help manage customs costs.

Value-added services

Goods arrive in bulk and can be repackaged so that a brand's logo or a new package shape shows up on the shelf. Screening gives a final inspection so that faults are caught before they reach customers. A lean consulting service applies the same methods to clients who already run their own logistics and want better efficiency. The site also publishes guides on last mile delivery, order cycle time and cross-docking.
