Essintial Featured in FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics White Paper

FedEx, in conjunction with Logistics Management magazine, recently published a white paper titled Making the Case for FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics® featuring Essintial in a case study titled “Fulfilling Customer Demands by Having the Right Parts in the Right Place at the Right Time.”

We pride ourselves on ensuring our customers get what they need, when and where they need it. Working with FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics has allowed us to grow and maintain a nationwide footprint for IT support services — ensuring that the necessary parts arrive in the right place at the right time. And, this long-term partnership with FedEx will allow for further expansion in 2018 and into the future.

“As our business continues to evolve and as more companies move away from carrying inventory, we’ll continue to rely on FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics to help us rise up and thrive in a very dynamic marketplace,” says Craig Heck, Essintial Chief Operation Officer, in the case study.

The full whitepaper* — which includes the featured case study on Essintial — is available for download now.

Logistics

Scalable Forward Stocking Locations

In many instances, our clients have logistics requirements in addition to service needs. Essintial offers a robust logistics network to stock client inventory in support of all services. Built to be scalable, forward stocking locations can also be added on-demand based on client need. 

With over 150 FedEx 24x7x365 Forward Stocking Locations (FSLs), Essintial can position inventory anywhere in the United States to meet 4-hour ground delivery requirements. We customize our strategic forward stocking and inventory management services for each customer and business requirement. This ensures the right part is dispatched for each call.

Reverse Logistics

In addition to serving as FSLs in local markets, Essintial also offers reverse logistics capabilities. Therefore, inventory can be returned, consolidated and shipped to repair vendors, manufacturers, or back to clients, depending on the client requirements. Our dedicated warehouse in Harrisburg, PA takes logistics one step further with complete integration, assembly, testing and depot repair facilities.

Logistics Planning

Logistics planning is as complicated as workforce management. Essintial invests in developing tools and algorithms to consider every relevant impact. This includes historical demand and failure rates as well as seasonality and other influences that may skew or dictate the forecast.

FedEx Partnership

Finally, Essintial’s strategic alliance with FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics® provides a fully integrated system for logistics management. Checkout the video below, or download the case study FedEx released in 2013 highlighting the partnership with Essintial.

FedEx Supply Chain Video Testimonial Launch

In late 2012, FedEx approached Essintial℠ about developing a video testimonial on behalf of FedEx Supply Chain. Its purpose was to spotlight the long-term collaboration between Essintial and FedEx, and how Essintial utilizes FedEx Critical Inventory Logistics® forward stocking locations for its inventory management service, along with its key benefits to Essintial customers.

During two days in March 2013, FedEx team members and a production team traveled to Essintial’s corporate offices in Mechanicsburg, PA, to begin the project. Along with the help of numerous Essintial employees, the shoot went great with no delays. Both FedEx and Essintial are pleased and proud of the final product. Below is a link to view the final version. A big thank you to everyone who participated in making this video a huge success!
