The Company Leveraged Its Operations After Outsourcing Its Logistics, Located in a New Space, in São Paulo

Within 5 years, the logistics outsourcing established by Starrett, a manufacturer of saws, tools, and measuring instruments, based in São Paulo, generated a 200% increase in the company’s operational volume. Monthly, about one million kilograms of manufactured products are sold and processed in the new logistics operation. The new logistics area is located in Hortolândia, in the countryside of São Paulo.

The relocation of the logistics operation from the Starrett factory, based in Itu (São Paulo), to the Distribution Center (CD) in the logistics condominium in Hortolândia, also in São Paulo, began in 2017. The outsourcing model for logistics operations involves long-term contracts with specialized industries in this type of operation, aiming to improve supply chain management and, consequently, achieve better results and operational efficiency, which reduces costs and enhances Starrett’s competitiveness.

“Outsourcing logistics operations is a global skill. It is a new example of business management that prioritizes, among other aspects, the homogeneity of industrial processes,” comments Fabiano Leite, Logistics Manager at Starrett Raguinal.

With the introduction of new goods into its production lines, Starrett required a physical space that would enhance productivity. Thus, the factory sought a strategic solution to relocate its warehouse to the distribution center in São Paulo. Furthermore, the space transition provided Starrett with a more detailed focus on business.

Today, Starrett’s Logistics Department has over 60 employees, both internal and external, an average of 12,000 control items, and also maintains partnerships with the main delivery representatives in the market, achieving a 97% delivery performance. Currently, logistics serves 100% of the national territory and more than 40 countries.

For the manager, maintaining cooperation and balance among all areas related to the logistics department, fostering partnerships with all related sectors, is one of the major challenges.

Looking ahead, the proposal aims for the decentralization of the Starrett distribution center in São Paulo and the development of several advanced international distribution points.
