Weber Logistics Signs Contract With e-BI To Distribute Its Electronic Product Line Throughout the US and Canada

SANTA FE SPRINGS, California – Weber Logistics, a leading third party logistics and supply chain management provider, announced today that it has signed a new contract with e-Business International Inc. (e-BI), a leading supply chain management company, for nationwide distribution of its brand, REVÉNA.

Under the new contract, Weber drays containers of REVÉNA iPad accessories, HDTV wall mounts, and AV component wall shelving from the Port of Long Beach to its 302,622 square Fontana, California facility. e-BI’s product line is manufactured in China and includes 26 SKUs which are distributed to small, medium and Fortune 500 customers such as Ingram Micro, Staples Canada, Amazon, BUY.com, and Fry’s Electronics, to name a few.

Weber’s facility provides a wide range of services to e-BI, including warehousing, outbound and inbound transportation, distribution, and label generation, as well as value-added services such as re-work with ticketing and sub-styling. e-BI offers customized outsourcing solutions for companies looking to expand international product development with a diverse range of industries and customers such as Western Digital, Boeing, and Verizon.

According to Jeff Giron, e-BI’s product marketing program manager, Weber supplies better and more accurate information than its previous 3PL including over 100 real-time reports. “Weber sends instant email notification as orders are processed, an End of Day (EOD) report that summarizes each day’s activities and many customized reports,” he said.

Weber manages compliance for all major retailers’ specific routing, shipping and labeling requirements, as well as e-BI’s high volume parcel shipments. At the heart of the compliance program is a custom-designed internal web site that allows all of Weber’s warehouses to quickly reference every major retailers’ most recent routing and shipping requirements, without having to individually review and interpret routing and vendor guides.

“Through Weber, we have immediate access to tracking information and they have great inventory control processes with all of our products grouped together, something our last 3PL could not do. This allows us to provide our customers with more accurate information than we could previously and their technology has reduced the risk of charge backs due to an inability to send an Advance Shipping Notice (ASN). Overall, working with Weber has increased our customer satisfaction,” said Giron.

“e-BI is a great example of how technology can lead to increased customer satisfaction through real time and accurate information,” said Marc Levin, Weber’s senior vice president, client solutions. “They use our retail compliance and technological capabilities to its full potential and we are very excited about the feedback they are receiving from their customers. We are honored to have such a sophisticated customer as e-BI.”
