Consumer Electronics
Kitting, packaging, inventory and traceability on one operating system. Built for the co-packers and 3PLs that get electronics brands to the shelf.
Nulogy Shop Floor runs the jobs, materials, labor and lots behind every kit and retail pack, and Nulogy Supplier Collaboration gives electronics brands a live view of what their partners are doing. Book a demo and we'll show you how Shop Floor runs work like yours.
The Problem With Running on Spreadsheets
The brand owns the product, the launch date and the retailer relationships. You own the line, the crew, the inventory and the margin. When the plan lives in spreadsheets and the inventory lives in somebody's head, every change from the brand lands on the floor as a surprise.
The kitting job planned for next month now needs more lines, more crew and every component on hand this week. If the schedule lives on a whiteboard, the first sign of a gap is an idle line.
When the product on the pallet is worth more than the rack holding it, an hour spent searching is expensive, and the brand notices a short shipment before you do.
Different labels, inserts, carton counts and pallet patterns for each retail program. If the spec is a printout at the line, the mistake shows up after the truck leaves.
Somebody has to say which lot it came from, what went into it, what the rework cost and where the rest shipped. Crescent used to need four hours to answer recall questions like that. On Shop Floor, the answer takes 15 minutes.
Electronics co-packing is a production business carrying a warehouse's inventory risk and a retailer's packaging rules. Spreadsheets were never built to manage all three.
What We Cover
Every one of these steps runs on the same jobs, the same bills of materials, the same pallets and the same lots. That's what separates an operating system from a stack of spreadsheets.
Kitting, bundling, retail packs and display builds run in Shop Floor as jobs, scheduled by line and tracked as they run. Output, labor, materials and yield are captured with barcode scanners and mobile-friendly screens instead of clipboards. When the brand moves a launch date or adds volume, the schedule on the floor and the schedule in Shop Floor change together. Staffing Synergies used Shop Floor to scale from 10 to 27 production lines.
Brand-owned product, components and your own packaging move through receiving, putaway and staging in Shop Floor, scanned at each step, so the location in the system is the location on the floor. Material planning shows what each scheduled job needs against what is on hand, so a short component shows up at receiving instead of at the line. MSI Express says pallet location and inventory accuracy became significantly better after moving to Nulogy.
Digital quality inspections sit on the screen at the line, attached to the job and the lot, so the label, insert and carton check for each retail program happens before the pallet is wrapped, not after a complaint. When a brand program needs more, Quality & Compliance adds photo evidence, audits and corrective action on the same record.
In electronics fulfillment, the pallet, the kit and the retail pack are the same event. Only the spreadsheets split them up.
Every pallet is scanned from receipt through the job to the outbound shipment, so lot traceability builds itself as the work happens. Rework and repack jobs run like any other job, with their own labor and materials. When a brand needs to know where a lot went, the report is already there. Crescent cut recall time from four hours to 15 minutes, and Prism eLogistics cut recall reporting from nine hours to 20 minutes.
Electronics brands grow by adding programs, and their partners grow by adding sites. Shop Floor puts every site on the same jobs, items and processes, so a new building starts from a working template instead of a new spreadsheet. MSI Express scaled from 2 to 15 facilities on Nulogy, Crescent standardized seven sites on Shop Floor, and CEVA Logistics put four co-pack sites in Turkey on Shop Floor within 12 months.
"Where is my launch inventory?" "How many kits shipped yesterday?" "Can you take another retail program?" With jobs, inventory and lots in Shop Floor, your team has the answers at their fingertips. For brands, Supplier Collaboration shows real-time capacity, inventory and production status from co-packers and contract manufacturers, on the same item and BOM data, without asking partners to rip and replace software.
Six moments, one record. The product the brand sent, the job that kitted it, the check that passed it and the pallet that shipped it are the same data set — not four spreadsheets you reconcile before a launch.
Start Where You Are
If you're a brand partner, you kit, pack and ship electronics. If you're a brand, you manage your network of partners. With Nulogy, the operating system is the same.
Co-packers and value-added 3PLs running kitting, retail packaging, configuration, rework and fulfillment on brand-owned product, judged on launch dates, accuracy and cost per unit.
Electronics brands that rely on co-packers, contract manufacturers and 3PLs, and need to see capacity, inventory and production status before a launch, not after it.
Running kitting and fulfillment as a 3PL service? Value-added services inside a warehouse business carry their own problems: transitional inventory, multi-client billing and pallet-level storage.

“When we implemented Nulogy, our pallet location and inventory accuracy became significantly better. We didn't need to spend hours trying to find certain pieces of material to bring to the line.”
Ryan McWethy, Plant Manager, MSI ExpressWorks With What You Run
Shop Floor integrates with the ERP, WMS and accounting systems electronics co-packers and 3PLs already run, and keeps the lot and quality records brand customers ask for.
Questions We Get
Because a WMS is built to receive, store and ship, and an ERP is built for companies that make their own products. Kitting, retail packs and rework are production jobs on someone else's product, and that is the work Shop Floor runs. Shop Floor integrates with SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Blue Yonder WMS, Manhattan SCALE and others, so those systems keep doing their jobs.
Production scheduling, material planning and job tracking sit in one system, so when volume or dates change you see which lines, crews and components the new plan needs. Staffing Synergies grew from 10 to 27 lines on Shop Floor, and MSI Express scaled from 2 to 15 facilities on Nulogy.
Every pallet is scanned at receipt, putaway, staging and shipment, with lot traceability from the inbound pallet to the outbound one. MSI Express says pallet location and inventory accuracy became significantly better, and Prism eLogistics went from about 20% confidence in its stock numbers to 100%.
No. Supplier Collaboration gives brands real-time capacity, inventory and production status from co-packers and contract manufacturers without asking suppliers to buy new software, and your planners keep their planning tool.
Yes. Crescent standardized seven sites on Shop Floor, MSI Express runs 15 facilities on Nulogy, and CEVA Logistics put four co-pack sites in Turkey on Shop Floor within 12 months.
Weeks, not months. Staffing Synergies went live on Shop Floor in 30 days and Prism eLogistics in under 30 days. Barcode scanners and mobile-friendly screens replace paper from day one.
