Riverbed Technology launches regional distribution center in Singapore
Menlo Worldwide Logistics tapped to provide the center's warehousing and distribution services.
Riverbed Technology's new regional distribution center in Singapore adds to the company's two locations in the United States and The Netherlands.
"We wanted to better serve our customers in Asia-Pacific, and accomplished this by working with Menlo Worldwide in Singapore," said Mike Havey, vice president of operations at Riverbed. "Menlo Worldwide has the expertise and on-the-ground knowledge necessary to allow us to immediately attend to the business of customer satisfaction through faster order turnaround times. Their adoption of lean principles and their superior reputation as a leader in global logistics make them the ideal partner for Riverbed in Singapore."
Menlo Worldwide provides traditional warehousing and distribution services and a custom warehouse management system to Riverbed from its 119,336-square-foot multi-client warehouse facility, which is strategically located within the Free Trade Zone at Airport Logistics Park at Changi Airport in Singapore. Additionally, Menlo provides value-added services including kitting, packing, returns management and configure-to-order, yielding increased order fill rates and lower inventory.
Menlo's multi-client warehouse management solution offers flexibility in contract commitment length, the ability to share existing IT platforms, an experienced management and labor infrastructure, requisite equipment and assets, and a more extensive geographic network of pre-configured warehouse operations.
"At Menlo, we've worked hard to build the strong global presence and flexible services and solutions our customers need to succeed in today's competitive business environment," said Desmond Chan, managing director, South Asia, Menlo Worldwide Logistics. "We're thrilled to work with Riverbed in Singapore and look forward to helping to further optimize their supply chain and successfully grow their global operations."
