Dutch wine merchant WijnWagentje has employed Menlo Worldwide Logistics (Menlo) to supply order fulfillment services for its internet sales operation. Menlo will maintain all aspects of the e-commerce function, including order processing, warehousing, packaging, inventory control and distribution from its facility at Eersel in the southern part of the Netherlands. The scope of the operation covers all parts of the Netherlands and includes the whole range of the Italian wine specialist's online inventory.

Menlo is the global logistics subsidiary of Con-way Inc. and provides logistics, transportation management and supply chain management services as well as its expanding e-fulfillment offering across all five continents. In Europe it has nine multi-client warehouse and distribution centers providing multi-functional and flexible supply chain services.

In making its decision, WijnWagentje management was impressed with Menlo's personal approach, its flexibility, the efficiency of its proposed start-up methodology and the logistics company's ability to assist with potential business development plans into other regional markets in the near future.

Wicher van den Bosch, the co-founder of WijnWagentje comments, 'To enhance our service to the consumer and to further optimize the logistics behind our online web shop, we chose Menlo as our new fulfillment partner, primarily because of their willingness to work closely with us on every detail of our requirements and their potential to help us expand our markets in the future.'
