Service Providers
For more than a decade, DHL has been building a global network of over 350 parts
depots, strategically located to manage pre-positioned inventory and provide time-critical,
same-day delivery. That network, together with DHL’s comprehensive communications
and information technology infrastructure, enables DHL to handle the warehousing,
transportation and logistics needs of the most demanding service supply chain networks,
including returns, repairs and global billing. With its global reach, DHL enables
customers to provide spare parts anywhere in the world, without having to deal with
dozens of different logistics vendors.
Together, MCA Solutions and DHL Logistics provide a complete solution to the challenges
companies face in creating service networks to supply their customers with spare
parts. MCA and DHL can manage a company's complete service supply chain, including
warehousing, transportation, logistics, inventory planning and forecasting as well
as integration with existing ERP systems.

SmartCo Services provides outsourced service parts planning through its innovative
solution, PartsEye. PartsEye delivers a unique planning service developed as a collaborative
effort between manufacturers, distributors, and their retail dealers, in industries
such as automotive, marine, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and lawn & garden.
The results include reduced costs, improved part availability (order fill), reduced
capital investment in inventory, increased sales, and increased customer satisfaction.
Because manufacturers often need to coordinate inventory across hundreds of dealerships,
it can be difficult to establish a uniform approach to stocking. Combining the forecasts
provided by MCA’s SPO and the planning capabilities of SmartCo’s PartsEye,
the partnered solution is completely centralized and provides all the necessary
components for optimized inventory control, at a low cost of implementation.
