Case Study: GPS Tracker Supply for a logistics company in Eastern Europe

GPS Tracker for A logistics company in Eastern Europe

A logistics company came to us with a gps tracker programme for Eastern Europe. The brief was ordinary and unforgiving at the same time: a fixed launch window, a landed cost that had to survive freight and duty, and a part that had to match an existing sample. This case records what was specified, what went wrong in sampling and how the bulk order landed.

The starting point

• Lead time that slipped twice before bulk started
• Premature wear on the first batch
• A specification nobody had written down

What was specified

How it was resolved

1. The specification was rebuilt around Titanium Alloy and the tolerance locked before bulk.
2. A pre-production sample was approved and kept as the golden reference.
3. Production ran with in-line inspection and a mid-run photo report.
4. Cartons were packed to the client's own barcode and ratio specification.
5. Documentation shipped with the goods instead of after them.

Result

• 2,000 pieces delivered inside the 4-week window.
• Unit cost held within 1.5% of the original quotation.
• Inspection-related rejection stayed under 1.5%.
• The specification is on file, so reorders reproduce the approved sample.

What we would repeat

Lock the material standard before sampling. Once the base changes, every downstream approval has to be redone and the calendar slips.
