Services

Retail services program management

PFG has implemented LEAN processes that simplify operations and reduce our clients’ overall cost of administration and ownership. By analyzing workflows, eliminating inefficiencies and fostering continuous improvement, we drive down costs while improving productivity and performance, from supply chain management to customer service.

  1. Design & procurement support

    As a single point of contact, we work with your internal team to align design with the procurement process, managing every PO detail and making sure project dates are tracked, monitored and met.

  2. Transportation & warehousing

    In-house international freight forwarding, domestic transportation and warehousing capabilities, with transportation managed from vendors to installation. With services including white glove delivery, we deliver your products where you want, when you want.

  3. Supply chain management

    Our teams can pick up your items at the manufacturer and handle them all the way through to installation. Our real-time reporting system lets us monitor inventory, track shipping and proactively identify potential issues.

  4. Inventory management

    We confirm that the inventory your project needs is available and aligned with your schedule, and coordinate receipt dates with your technical hardware suppliers.

  5. Warehouse logistics

    Secure storage for business equipment. On receipt, every item is inventoried and stored before it is kitted and shipped.

  6. Kitting

    Kitting follows your instructions and accommodates different delivery phases, such as technology and construction. Each phase is kitted from the information you provide, with quality assurance checks before shipment for complete, accurate orders.

  7. Shipping

    Tracking information for each item on a pallet and custom pallets that minimize packaging and cost, with transportation services from domestic freight to white glove delivery.

  8. Project management

    A clearly defined escalation path, a designated point of contact for your company and vendors, and a clear process flow for ordering, receiving, kitting and shipping. Our installation teams fulfil PO requirements to blueprints, with real-time updates and punch list tracking.

  9. Return processing

    A detailed procedure for undeliverable items and damaged returns covers every return scenario, for smooth handling and minimal disruption.

  10. Reporting

    Daily shipping reports with equipment and tracking numbers, shipment trend analysis, delivery confirmations with photo and signature verification, and kit tracking from the central warehouse to the local warehouse and the store.
