BRAMPTON, Ont.–Lomas Logistics, a division of L.V. Lomas Limited announced that as of April 2014, they are the 3pl partner of Targus Canada. The company were awarded the Targus business after an extensive RFP process, and “are excited by this new partnership, on many levels,” says Lomas bv Vice President Harry Smit.
Lomas will be handling hundreds of SKUs for Targus, acting as their international receivers, warehousing facility and pick/pack operations, with ongoing distribution to Targus retailers across Canada. The Lomas team will be building customized orders for these retailers, with specialized pick/pack operations of multiple SKUs. Lomas will also handle the reverse logistics as well, managing any returns.
“There were a number of critical advantages we offered to Targus – among them, of course, our sophisticated logistics and technical abilities, such as our new High Jump WMS. Certainly, those solutions and attention to creating the right customer interface were key competitive advantages for us. However, our two companies seem strategically aligned in the way we build relationships with our customers, in how we represent ourselves in the industry, so our two corporate cultures seemed to mesh very well,” said Smit.
Chris Day, Manager, Operations, Targus Canada, said, “Lomas has been able to set themselves apart from their competition through a full partnership approach that embraces transparency and openness. The Lomas Logistics solution didn’t aim at recreating Targus’ supply chain but instead they aimed to evaluate the operational footprint, drive operation synergies through economics of scale and understand Targus Canada’s ever-changing market. Lomas Logistics has been able to provide Targus Canada a one stop shop with their vast array of services through Supply Chain, Freight Solutions and technology allowing Targus Canada to focus on our core competencies.”
