fashion logistics - Logwin Logistics

SMART
SOLUTIONS
FOR YOUR
FASHION LOGISTICS
Be in the right place at the right time.
And look good when you get there.
Rapid changeovers from one collection to another, seasonal peaks and globally
integrated production systems – virtually no other sector relies so heavily on
flexible and intelligent logistics solutions as the fashion and lifestyle industries.
If you want to be in the right place at the right time, and look good when you get
there, you need to be able to rely on an experienced logistics partner such as
Logwin. Your partner with over 40 years fashion expertise.
The foundation stone for Logwin‘s present day
success was laid back in 1964 by the German
clothing transport business Deutsche Kleiderspedition (DKS). DKS invented the hanging garment
transportation system that continues to ensure the
crease-free delivery of suits and dresses today.
Logwin now offers you the most extensive hanging
garment logistics network in Europe. A noble
tradition lives on. These days we are no longer just
2
delivering inbound consignments from foreign
manufacturers. We also transport clothing to the
rapidly growing markets of Asia, the Middle East
and South America. As a leading logistics specialist, Logwin helps its customers get on the move
with integrated logistics solutions. We are there
where you need us – right around the globe. From
the delivery of raw materials, production, and
finishing to quality control and microdistribution.
Elegant global solutions
Here at Logwin we are continually inspired to set new logistics benchmarks – motivated not only by our
decades of experience, our know-how, and our impeccable quality standards, but also by our devotion
to elegant yet efficient logistics solutions.
Such innovation generates fresh ideas and collections, strengthening not only the market position of
our customers, but also our own. Our objective is simple: to fulfil your needs in every possible way.

Depending on the module, stores can be individually supplied just-in-time, express deliveries
can be included, shop-to-shop consignments
organised and returns processed.
Our intercontinental shop concept allows us to
globally coordinate individual shop orders, select
stock and deliver just in time ready for shelf. This
means that all the ordered items reach the store
in a single delivery.
Your entire product line is available immediately,
the goods are quickly stored away - and sales
staff can focus on their primary duties: customer
service and sales.

Style knows no borders.
Nor does modern logistics.
Modern global market logistics not only spans
distances, but also involves the provision of
storage facilities and value-added services when
and where they are required.
Logistics expenditure can be adjusted through
the use of flexible storage capacities located at
all vital nodes for the international flow of goods.
This applies not only for flat-packed and hanging
garments, but also to all fashion-related lifestyle
products.

A smooth arrival
Wrinkle-free garments? You can count on it!
We have decades of global experience in working
with hanging garments. Consequently, we are
specialists in storing, selecting and preparing
hanging garments to suit the requirements of
specific businesses so that they are ready for
immediate sale without the need for ironing. This
smooth, tailor-made solution is managed using
special IT systems, allowing absolute transparency in terms of the flow of goods.
Our services: added value for you
As logistics specialists in the fashion and lifestyle
industry, we can offer you a broad portfolio of
value-added services. These include for example,
attaching security or RFID tags, as well as ironing,
topping and tunnelling. Regardless of the service
you require – we can provide it for you!
Even faster: Cross docking
Complementing our transport services, we can
provide the appropriate cross docking solution
to match your retailing needs. For instance, all
factory deliveries can be consolidated, selected
for each outlet, labelled and price tagged. All by
the one service provider – and of course worldwide. This means your POS staff have their hands
free for the most important thing: your customers.

Quality and cost-effectiveness:
we make both possible.
It is no secret that in addition to the fabric and cut, price can also make clothing attractive. That is why
we are located where you source your products, for instance in South-East Europe and Asia. And when
you require finishing, we are there for you with our particularly cost-effective international air, sea, rail
or road round-trip services. All this is available in North Africa, South-East Europe and even Asia. We
have created structures there to move your business forward as smoothly as possible. Logwin branches
are located conveniently for you around the globe. This means that you can access our services at any
time, from the sourcing of raw materials to cutting out, and right through to comprehensive quality
assurance systems.
8
Make the most of emerging markets:
Europe, Africa and Asia.
Regardless of the distances – we will take care of
all intercontinental air and sea freight operations
for you. And, as a matter of course, we will take
care of all the rail and road logistics. At the same
time, we can also assist you in overcoming the
logistic challenges involved in outward processing.
Furthermore, we are happy to provide any
hands-on assistance you may require in opening
up the rapidly developing markets in Asia or
Eastern Europe. With Logwin you can depend on
the reliable flow of goods, just-in-time distribution
and comprehensive value-added services at all
times. This means that you have everything you
need to access these new markets to further the
success of your business.

Experts in freight:
internationally and regionally.
Supply chain management extends from sourcing raw materials to distributing the finished product.
It is the comprehensive nature of Logwin services that makes the subtle yet significant difference and
ensures the utmost quality – locally and globally. Our efforts are aimed solely at opening up new
opportunities for you around the world.
Avail yourself of our international expertise. Not only do we operate individual fashion warehouses in Europe, but also for example in China, consolidating the delivery of local and imported goods through crossdocking.
