MATERIAL HANDLING ON THE HIGHEST SERVICE LEVEL
Each facility is designed to ensure a safe, secure, and efficient flow of materials throughout the operational process. Quality-controlled operating procedures govern all warehousing interface procedures. In countries where Bertling does not have its own facilities, the company has formed strategic relationships with local warehousing and storage providers to offer and manage these services in key locations throughout the world.
Bertling recognizes that managing the interfaces between its transport activities and its warehouse receiving activities is a key success factor for any project. To this aim, Bertling has committed extensive resources to the development of its internally developed and maintained proprietary information management system, which is user-friendly and can be easily customized to interface with all client databases.
A common set of procedures governing quality control, health, safety, environmental, security, and compliance are implemented at each location in line with clients' coordination procedures. This ensures delivery of the highest service levels to meet client expectations and the scope of work.
