Satellite warehousing

In the Rail Maintenance world, contracts are sharply tendered. The speed and certainty of the supply of breakdown materials are crucial in managing an area profitably.

But how do you store inventory efficiently, without high costs and administrative hassle? We have the solution with the Inventory On Location (IOL) concept. Thanks to this innovative concept, you can always quickly access the right materials during breakdowns, without high costs and risks. This not only guarantees quick repairs but also optimal profitability for your area. Let the IOL concept transform your world!

How does it work?

voestalpine Track Solutions Netherlands has created a unique solution with the IOL concept. Mechanics can be confident they always have their required materials available locally, without having to make a purchase or waiting for delivery times.

When a mechanic needs materials, he can simply use the scanner that we provide with the warehouse. At the end of each week, a bill shows up specifying each material that was used and who used it.

Each time a material is taken from the warehouse, we get notified and start the fulfillment process. We guarantee that there are no materials out of stock and we frequently review with you what the correct stock levels should be.

The Inventory On Location (IOL) concept creates order and overview in your maintenance warehouse

With the IOL concept, voestalpine Track Solutions Netherlands ensures that faults can be resolved quickly and efficiently and that there are always sufficient maintenance and repair materials available. An ideal solution for the contractor who wants to guarantee speed and reliability in the delivery of maintenance and repair materials.

Sometimes it is not clear which items are needed to resolve a fault. In that situation, as a technician, you often prefer to take too much rather than too little. voestalpine Track Solutions Netherlands understands this and ensures that unused items can be easily returned to the warehouse within 24 hours. In this way, you avoid expensive and often invisible grey stock and save money without even realising it. Do you recognise your warehouse in the first photo? Then a IOL warehouse is the solution you are looking for!

Voor/Na

What we can do for your warehouse

Before a IOL warehouse is set up, it is decided together with the contractor where the warehouse should be located and what spare stock needs to be laid out. voestalpine Track Solutions Netherlands then manages the construction of the warehouse, including the shelving, scanners, reel racks, and tree racks. This means the contractor does not need to invest in these materials.

The financial aspects of a satellite warehouse

The materials stay in the inventory of voestalpine until the item is scanned. This way you save costs on inventory and inventory management. At the end of each period, a bill specifying the weeks activity is automatically sent to your purchasing system for easy processing.
