This new system supports the goal of OKI management to strengthen its ATM business foundations in China, said a press release from the company.
This month, the new system will begin transporting materials between an OKI maintenance parts warehouse in the Chinese city of Shenzhen and a maintenance site in Hebei. In line with its goal to reduce logistics costs for ATM maintenance parts in China by 30 percent over the next three years, OKI will expand the new transport system to serve all OKI maintenance sites throughout China and will pursue further SCM restructuring.
OKI began delivering ATMs to China in 2005 and to date has delivered more than 80,000 units. OKI cash-recycling ATMs currently account for approximately 50 of the Chinese market. With the expansion of ATM services into interior China, OKI needed to ensure a safe, secure, and effective machine transport system, as well as access to speedy repairs and maintenance parts delivered to approximately 220 maintenance sites.
"Moving forward, OKI will explore using the new transportation system to gather repair parts from maintenance sites," said Shinya Ando, president ane executive officer OKI Banking Systems, Shenzhen. "Capitalizing on Yamato Group's cargo information tracking and transportation quality improvement, we plan to strengthen our maintenance and logistics system and in turn strengthen the competitiveness of our ATM business in China."
