Logistics & availability

Secure supply. Take responsibility.

In industrial automation a solution does not end with its technical definition. It has to be available — at the moment it is needed. With Logistics & availability, STASTO takes responsibility for a predictable, coordinated supply across the entire period of use.

Availability needs clear agreements

Different applications and projects call for different models.

STASTO therefore offers two clearly defined contract types that create security of supply and transparency:

  • STASTO framework contract
  • STASTO stockholding contract

Both models follow clear rules and create reliability for customers and STASTO alike.

STASTO framework contract

The STASTO framework contract is based on an order

over an agreed period with a defined minimum quantity .

That quantity:

The framework contract is particularly suited to:

  • is available for the customer to call off
  • is provided at a fixed price
  • creates cost and planning certainty
  • series machines
  • predictable projects
  • applications with constant demand

It reduces procurement effort and creates clear, long-term structures.

STASTO stockholding contract

The STASTO stockholding contract is designed for maximum flexibility.

Characteristics:

If the customer decides to end the contract, the remaining stock must be taken in full .

  • no time limit
  • fixed call-off quantity
  • stock is held at STASTO
  • price changes are possible
  • fluctuating demand
  • long-term applications without a fixed time frame
  • customers who prioritise availability

This model is particularly suited to:

Clear rules create certainty

Both contract types rest on a shared principle:

  • transparent agreements
  • clear call-off logic
  • defined responsibilities

That leaves no grey areas, only reliable processes across the whole period.

Infrastructure as the basis for availability

It rests on clear processes and the right infrastructure.

STASTO invests deliberately in structured storage and provisioning systems, including an automated small-parts warehouse .

This infrastructure makes possible:

For our customers, that complexity stays in the background.

  • reproducible processes
  • fast provisioning with few errors
  • reliable execution of framework and stockholding contracts

What counts is the result: availability when it is needed.

Logistics in combination with other services

Logistics & availability has its full effect above all in combination with:

  • STASTO Automation Package
  • STASTO Combinations
  • STASTO Schedule Package

Solutions are then not only defined but secured for the long term.

Responsibility across the whole period

We take responsibility for the agreed components being available in line with the chosen contract type — transparently and reliably.

Planning certainty over a defined period Price stability regardless of market fluctuations Less administrative effort thanks to clear call-off processes
