Commission Warehouse for Manufacturers & OEMs

What is a Commission Warehouse?

A commission warehouse is an order-picking and light-value-add hub that transforms bulk inventory into production-ready kits and shipments. Think kitting, labeling, sequencing, light assembly, repacking, and line-ready packaging—all under a WMS with barcode/RFID control and ERP/EDI integration.

What Problems It Solves

• Lead-time compression: Convert inbound bulk to line-side kits with 5-day call-off (contractually guaranteed).

• Inventory agility: VMI/consignment options, min/max or Kanban bins, and buffer/safety stock to stabilize your line.

• Quality at the gate: Swiss QA with sampling plans—or 100% incoming inspection on request—before anything reaches production.

• Cost control: Fewer touches on site, optimized packaging, right-sized lots, and (if bonded) duty/VAT deferment or re-export without Swiss VAT.

• Data accuracy: Scanned movements, ASN, serial/lot capture, and audit-ready histories.

Core Capabilities

• Order picking strategies: Batch, wave, zone and pick-to-light/put-to-light where useful.

• Kitting & sequencing: Multi-level kit BOMs, production sequencing for assembly lines, line-ready labeling (QR/1D/2D/ssCC).

• Light assembly & rework: Fasteners, sub-assemblies, torque checks; controlled rework/returns loop.

• Packaging engineering: Line-side totes, ESD/EPE protections, returnable packaging, route-optimized cartons.

• Traceability: Serial/lot, shelf/location, timestamps, photos, and measurement/QA reports linked to each kit.

• Shipping options: JIT/JIS, milk runs, cross-dock, consolidations, multi-plant distribution.

Our 3-Step Process (simple, measurable, AI-assisted)

1. Requirements & Consulting

   Upload your drawings/BOM and logistics brief. In a short call we define materials, tolerances, kit structure, sequencing rules, labels, Incoterms, and customs objectives.

   Outcome: Technical clarity for a binding offer.

2. AI Matching & Quotation

   Our algorithms map demand to 120+ verified partners (CH/EU/Asia) and the right warehousing flow—pricing calculated in seconds with cost drivers and delivery windows.

   Outcome: An optimized make-source-store-pick plan at the best price.

3. Procurement, QA & Commissioning in Switzerland

   We manage production, import, customs, testing, and warehousing to on-time delivery. Choose duty-paid or bonded/OZL storage; commissioning tasks execute under WMS control.

   Outcome: Line-ready kits, predictable lead times, and audit-ready records.

Quality & Compliance (Swiss QA Built-In)

• Incoming inspection: AQL plans or 100% inspection, CMM, SPC/CPK, FAIR/FAI/PPAP when required.

• Certificates & reports: COC/COA, measurement reports, photos, torque logs, traceability to lot/serial.

• ESG & regulatory: REACH/RoHS, conflict minerals, origin & preference (REX/EUR.1) managed end-to-end.

IT & Data Integration

• ERP/EDI/API: SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics, Infor—orders, ASN, receipts, serials/lots, QC, invoices.

• WMS features: Location control, cycle counts, FEFO/ FIFO, dock scheduling, exceptions & NC workflow, dashboard KPIs.

• Labeling: ssCC, GS1/GTIN, QR/1D/2D, work-order & kit labels aligned to your MES/line-side standards.

Bonded (Duty-Free) Commissioning Option

Operate your commissioning flow inside a bonded (OZL) warehouse to defer duties & Swiss VAT until local release—or avoid both on re-export.

• NCTS/T1 transit, HS classification, origin/preference management

• Supervised kitting/labeling permitted under bond

• Audit-ready exit proofs and reconciliation

What We Store & Commission

• CNC machined & turned parts (Al 6061/7075, 1.4301/1.4404, tool steels, Cu/Br)

• Sheet-metal and welded sub-assemblies

• Injection-molded components (ABS, PC, PA6/66, POM, PEEK, PTFE) and extrusions/die-cast

• Electromechanical parts, cables, fasteners, consumables

• Standard components available immediately from Swiss stock with no MOQ

Commercial Models & Regions

• Project or per-order pricing with a transparent cost-to-serve (storage, picks, kitting, labels, QA, freight, duties).

• Framework/blanket orders with call-off cadence, SLAs/KPIs, price-review clauses.

• VMI/consignment overlays for critical SKUs.

We sell/ship with consistent price/buy/cost logic across Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Belgium, and Africa, aligned to agreed lead times and service levels.

KPIs We Commit To

• OTIF by kit & lane, pick accuracy ≥ 99.9%

• Lead time to call-off (≤ 5 working days)

• Inventory accuracy & cycle-count variance

• DPPM/NC closure time and returns turnaround

• TCO vs baseline (measurable cost-to-serve reduction)

Typical Use Cases

• Line-side kitting & sequencing for assembly cells (JIT/JIS)

• Aftermarket/service kits with multi-country distribution

• Ramp-ups & bridge builds with volatile demand

• Dual-source / China+1 buffering and cross-dock flows

• Regulated programs (aero/medical) requiring full documentation
