Logistics Services for Consumer Electronics
Solutions designed to navigate the highly-variable consumer electronics supply chain.
Running logistics for a consumer electronics company is no small feat. High-value products, time-critical shipments, unpredictable demand and complex global regulations are just a few of the challenges that can disrupt your supply chain. We know the biggest obstacles standing in your way — and we have the tailored, high-touch solutions to overcome them.
-
Poor inventory management results in costly overstocking or missed sales.
Overstocking ties up valuable capital, increases storage costs and risks obsolescence, while understocking leads to missed sales and frustrated customers. Legacy’s integrated inventory management system offers real-time tracking and data-driven demand insights, ensuring optimal stock levels and reducing the risk of overstock or stockouts.
-
Product launches are delayed by inefficient shipping coordination.
Delays in coordinating multimodal shipments can jeopardize the timing of product launches — especially risky in a market where speed is critical. Legacy’s automated shipment tracking and scheduling system synchronizes transportation across air, sea and land, ensuring that shipments arrive on time, every time, so launches go off without a hitch.
- Inaccurate demand forecasting causes excess inventory or stock shortages.
Rapidly shifting market trends and product life cycles can lead to poor predictions, especially with outdated technology. Legacy’s AI-driven demand forecasting tools use historical sales data and real-time market trends to provide accurate forecasts, helping to balance supply with demand and minimize costly errors. - Global supply chain disruptions cause costly delays.
Disruptions from geopolitical events, natural disasters or pandemics can wreak havoc on global supply chains. Legacy’s supply chain visibility platform offers end-to-end monitoring and predictive analytics, enabling proactive adjustments to sourcing, shipping and inventory to mitigate the impact of unexpected disruptions.
- Poor returns handling increases costs and damages brand reputation.
Frequent returns are a fact of consumer electronics, and can lead to increased costs and customer dissatisfaction. Legacy’s streamlined returns management system automates the returns process, ensuring that products are quickly evaluated, repaired or recycled. - Inadequate security measures lead to theft and fraud.
High-value electronics are prime targets for theft and fraud during transportation and warehousing. Legacy’s logistics platform incorporates advanced tracking, geofencing and security protocols to monitor shipments in real-time and mitigate the risk of theft or tampering, safeguarding your products every step of the way.
- Poor last-mile delivery execution increases delivery times and increases return rates.
Last-mile delivery is often the most expensive and complex part of the supply chain, where delays can lead to customer dissatisfaction and increased return rates. Legacy’s advanced routing algorithms optimize last-mile delivery by selecting the fastest, most cost-effective routes, ensuring on-time deliveries and reducing costly returns. - Noncompliance with changing international regulations results in shipment delays and fines.
Consumer electronics companies are beholden to a complex web of constantly changing international trade regulations — and the risk of noncompliance is high. Legacy’s compliance management solution tracks and updates regulatory requirements in real time, ensuring shipments meet all necessary customs, safety and environmental standards.
- Rising transportation costs cut into profit margins.
Increasing fuel prices and carrier fees continue to drive up transportation costs, squeezing profit margins for consumer electronics companies. Legacy’s transportation management system (TMS) helps optimize carrier selection, consolidate shipments and reduce fuel consumption, providing cost-saving insights that minimize the impact of rising costs. - Inadequate quality control leads to delivery of faulty products.
Delivering damaged or defective electronics due to poor quality control hurts both reputation and bottom line. Legacy’s quality assurance integration ensures that each product undergoes rigorous testing and verification before it ships, reducing the risk of defects reaching customers and cutting down on costly returns.

- Poor warehouse optimization causes delays in fulfillment.
Inefficient use of warehouse space and disorganized inventory lead to fulfillment delays, especially when handling a large variety of SKUs. Legacy’s warehouse management system optimizes storage layouts, automates inventory tracking and reduces picking and packing times, speeding up fulfillment and improving accuracy. - Siloed or inconsistent fulfillment creates delivery delays and stock inaccuracies.
Inconsistent fulfillment across multiple sales channels can lead to stock inaccuracies, delays and frustrated customers. Legacy’s omni-channel fulfillment solution integrates all sales channels into a unified platform, enabling real-time inventory visibility and synchronized order fulfillment to ensure smooth, timely deliveries.
- Failing to address sustainability expectations alienates eco-conscious consumers and increases regulatory risk.
With increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact, failing to implement sustainable practices can turn customers off and lead to regulatory challenges. Legacy’s sustainability module helps electronics companies reduce their carbon footprint by optimizing energy-efficient shipping routes, minimizing packaging waste, enhancing brand reputation and ensuring compliance with green regulations.
