Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Contract Logistics
What is Contract Logistics?
Contract Logistics refers to long-term, strategic logistics partnerships in which warehousing, distribution, value-added services, IT systems, and process management are tailored to the specific requirements of each customer.
The focus is on customized end-to-end solutions across the entire supply chain.
How does Contract Logistics differ from traditional warehousing?
Contract Logistics stands for long-term, complex, and highly customized logistics solutions that cover the entire supply chain. This includes inventory management, advanced IT systems, process control, order fulfillment, flexibility to adapt to changing requirements, performance transparency (KPIs), and a wide range of value-added services such as kitting, set building, assembly, pre-packaging, quality control, returns management, and more.
Traditional warehousing, by contrast, typically focuses on standardized storage processes and is often limited to short-term or clearly defined, less complex services.
How can I request a quote for Contract Logistics solutions?
At Hellmann, we develop tailored concepts for your warehousing and logistics processes in the field of Contract Logistics. Using our “Let’s Do Business” form, you can submit your requirements—such as storage needs, product structure, processes, or desired value-added services.
Based on this information, our team of experts will analyze your supply chain and prepare a customized proposal.
What does the implementation of a Contract Logistics solution look like?
Implementation begins after the concept and planning phase has been completed and is carried out in a structured manner through professional project management. The goal is to ensure the smooth execution of the agreed solution. A dedicated project manager will support you throughout all implementation phases, lead the project, and bring the necessary expertise.
Typical implementation steps include:
- Project setup and alignment of all stakeholders
- Detailed planning of the concept in close collaboration with the customer
- The resulting “design freeze” as the basis for the implementation phase
- Setup or adaptation of operational and technical infrastructure
- System configuration and data migration
- Staff training
- Testing phase, ramp-up, and subsequent operational launch (“go-live”)
Through proven methodologies and clear project structures, we ensure a controlled transition without disrupting your supply chain operations.
Will I have a dedicated point of contact throughout the collaboration?
Yes. You will have a dedicated point of contact at every stage of the collaboration.
After implementation, responsibility is typically handed over from the project team to a dedicated Key Account Management team for ongoing support.
