5 PRIME appoints arvato services healthcare for logistics deal
Life science company 5 PRIME GmbH has chosen arvato services healthcare as the global distributor of its products and to manage all of its processes - from inbound transport and warehouse management to end-customer delivery.
arvato services healthcare was chosen for its industry-specific expertise, as well as its established distribution structures - which feature a transport network that is independent of specific carriers and therefore more cost-effective.
This distribution arrangement will allow 5 PRIME to meet its customers' needs in a more flexible way by optimising costs while maintaining - or even improving - the current level of service.
Ilja Seidel, project manager at 5 PRIME said: "We were also impressed by arvato's ability to provide individual solutions based on customer-specific requirements.
"The company's clear customer orientation is reflected in its day-to-day operations."
Dr. Bernd Haase, CEO of 5 PRIME, added, "In a constantly changing market for med-tech products, flexible and efficient methods of distribution are a key competitive advantage.
"This means coordinating all of the relevant processes as effectively as possible and taking into account current market requirements. We are confident that arvato services healthcare will provide exactly what we are looking for."
