The logistics business of ULI offers the multi-dynamics of a supply chain through a full portfolio of logistics services.

A unique logistics solution is developed for each ULI contract by a dedicated team of logistics professionals. Their primary focus is to generate cost savings, improve customer levels and refine the competitive advantage for our clients.

Logistics Design
Each new contract is a clean sheet design developed to define strengths or enhance existing strengths in the supply chain. Before the analysis and design begins, ULI analysts develop a clear understanding of the product characteristics, plant operations, customer service requirements and market environment. Each design is based on a platform of client objectives and best practices with a vision to deliver beyond expectations.

Information Technology
Information Technology is the foundation of logistics management. ULI has the experience and skills to leverage current technology with optimal impact on a given supply chain. The accurate and timely flow of decision critical data enables the accurate and timely flow of materials. ULI continually research the marketplace for innovative products and experts to design and operate world-class solutions.

System Integration
ULI has a broad range of experience with proprietary, customized and commercial software packages used for supply chain management.

Inventory Management
Controlling inventory at a level that balances services and costs requires constant monitoring. Inventory management is a critical element in achieving cost reduction for clients. At ULI, we accomplish this by utilizing a supply chain planning system, such as the Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) system. The APS system provides the ability to match Demand and Supply, thus maximizing optimal inventory levels.

Warehousing
ULI can design, operate, and manage various types of warehouse facilities. We work with our clients to design the most efficient layout, select the materials handling equipment appropriate for the job and effect inventory levels to optimize service and cost.

Transportation Management
Transportation can be the largest cost component in the logistics process. The efficient operation of the transportation element of the logistics solution will have a direct impact on your bottom line.

ULI manages all levels of transportation from dedicated contracts to multiple carriers and modes. We support the transportation function by handling all the related administration, payment and performance measurement functions.

ULI transportation expertise encompasses load design, route scheduling and just-in-time delivery.

Reverse Logistics
Reverse logistics is an important tool for improving manufacturing, packaging, and transportation. Returning outdated, damaged, or defective products on a regular schedule can be as critical as timely deliveries. It provides our clients with access to current data on why a product has been returned which translate to an opportunity to develop an improved product, provide better customer services and reduce costs. In addition, reverse logistics allows us to assist clients with developing designs and processes for the re-use or recycling of packaging material.

Consulting
Because we have the direct experience in the implementation and operation of end-to-end supply chain management, we have the ready knowledge to optimize the supply chain in virtually any industry segment.
