From ex works to job site, We deliver.

ZPM belongs to a group which, for over 30 years has been dedicated to port ope-rations and international logistics, develo-ping new working ways that established the current market standards in South Ameri-can countries.

With this background as a launching pad, we developed our services specializing in project cargoes and particularly in Wind Industry logistics needs and requirements.

We are experts in port operations, road transport and logistics coordination in a wide array of markets (Uruguay, Argenti-na, Bolivia, Paraguay and Mexico). Diffe-rent markets require different approaches

and strategies, but should always abide by customers procedures, requirements and standards. This is why we have developed a unique system able to cope with local particularities while successfully managing all steps in a manner that can follow the strictest of the plans and schedules.

Our scope covers from port scouting to supervision and management of complete integrated logistic services, including road surveys, port operations, sourcing of truc-king companies, storage areas and hand-ling equipment, stock control and compo-nent tracking from ex-works to erection site, a “one stop shopping” for the complete lo-gistics, on line 24/7/365.

Based on our experience and meticulous attention to details, we guarantee perfor-mance in terms of timely delivery and strict procedure, transport and handling com-pliance at all times.

Our commitment is to the higher standards of performance, always seeking the most cost effective way of achieving our custo-mers’ goals by being ahead of events, avoi-ding delays and minimizing incidentals or unexpected inconveniences.

OUR MISSIONBeing ahead in creating ethical, innovative procedures and practices that will grant our customers the most efficient and cost effective logistics for their

Projects, helping green energy to reach new markets and regionseven those where logistics could impose a barrier.

ZPMA trusted partner to maximize performance in Project logistics

At ZPM, we understand that logistics are only a step for our Customer to fulfil his business. Despite being a significant share in a Project budget, it is never his core busi-ness. We also know that sometimes, deve-loping new markets or entering in new re-gions can be challenging and intimidating.

This is where a specialized logistics engi-neering company, with wide experience and reputation can be the secret to a successful Project. Pricing the logistics is key, but not

always a cheaper rate means a cheaper fi-nal cost. We specialize in negotiating with sub-contractors, and we do it jointly with our customers, thus is, we help them chose the best cost effective option.

Our commitment to compliance, guaran-tees that costs planned at the beginning of a Project will be the costs incurred at the end. No extra or unexpected expenses will distress the Project Manager once the Pro-ject is undergoing.

COMMITMENT

ZPM has a remarkable experience in a variety of Project cargoes in over 10 countries. In ter-ms of Wind Energy we have been involved in the logistics for over 20 Projects, for customers such as GAMESA, VESTAS, NORDEX and AC-CIONA.

For over 30 years, we have built long-stan-ding relationships with key players, including clients, regulatory agencies, and the commu-nities in which we operate, enabling us to ex-pertly assist our customers along the execution process, ensuring the successful completion of the Projects.

We are not a Freight Forwarder. We are a lo-gistics engineering company that works with Clients and suppliers aiming to better help them achieve Project targets. We can integra-te port/transport and overall logistic services under one single command, guaranteeing no over costs because of overlapped responsibili-ties or delays at interfaces.We solve project challenges through innovati-ve solutions.

Over the years we have developed a reputa-tion for having a “no pre-modelled” approach to each Project. We analyse each Project as unique and we use our expertise in the field and the region where the Project is to be de-veloped to better design the most convenient logistic solution for each case. We do not sell an “off the shelf” logistic service where we for-ce the customer to adapt to what we have to offer. To the contrary, we propose very flexible and “out of the box” solutions that better suit the needs of each Project.We manage the logistics of the Projects throu-gh every step along the way, from choosing the right Port, appointing the port operator, selec-ting the handling equipment, transport com-panies, storage areas both in and out of the Port premises, we analyse the legal framework and compliance (road permits, etc).

We understand the need for Flexible solutions. We have a breadth of experience that guaran-tees we create an optimised solution for your Project’s needs.

We are proud of who we are and what we do. We believe in long lasting relationships with our customers. We are glad to say that we do not have a single customer with a single Pro-ject. Every new customer becomes a long termpartner and continues working with us with their further Projects.

We do not have a large commercial division to sell our services. The staff that defines the commercial terms with the customer, will also takes care of the day to day performance, and will therefore guarantee no mistakes or misun-derstandings show up at the time of delivery.

OUR SERVICES

DEVELOPMENT Once the Project has been designed, budgeted and approved by our custo-mer, we proceed to sign contracts with all the sub-contractors and engage equipment and areas as might be required. We do so, once again, always considering the local regulations, good logistic practices and the legal main frame.

Once a sub-contractor has been selected, our Operations Compliance Officers proceed to make sure all personnel has been trained, not only on the procedures for handling and transporting the components, but also in general and specific HSE requirements making sure that when the Project starts, all tasks will be performed according to best-of-class logistics practi-ces.

PROJECT DESIGNZPM starts every project with a blank page. Once all the requirements, materials lists, site locations and schedule have been set, we chose the best point of entry or route for the Project. Based on our 30 years’ experience in ports and logistics, we chose the best port/road for the components to be sent/received, route to site, and potential storage areas. Once this is done, either by ourselves or jointly with our customer, we select the best sub-contractors for each step as required. We carry out the Road Survey and interact with local, regional or national authorities in advance, in order to make sure that obstacles are cleared and paperwork is ready by the time the Project is to be executed.

EXECUTIONDuring this phase, our personnel are physically present along all the sta-ges, guaranteeing that the contractual terms and requirements are strictly followed. We keep a 24/7/365 on line tracking of all components that are under our scope, allowing for accurate planning ahead and introducing changes with due lead-time if this were to be required.

ZPMS EXCLUSIVE, STATE OF THE ART LOGISTICS CONTROL SYSTEMIn order to guarantee our committed Quality Stan-dards, and make sure that these will be sustained along the full Project, for all our Projects, we have developed in house an exclusive software (ZPMS) that controls every step of the process, from ex-wor-ks to the job site, tracking each individual com-ponent by serial number, with all its details along every step, (images in case of damages, lashing arrangements for land or sea transport, etc), wor-king on line 24/7/365.

This software, allows our customers to receive au-tomated reports associated to events, as required, with stock control at all stages, transport status for each component, etc, without having to use spreadsheets or paper records.

The application also registers time and place for each event, allowing full control of trucking hours, idle time for trucks, equipment or vessel opera-tions. Either by remote reporting or online active search, individual pieces or complete sets can be tracked.

With this tool, a Logistics Project Manager can handle more than one Project at a time without having to refer to multiple spreadsheets or dai-ly activity reports. Needless to mention that this allows invoice checking and revision, on line cost evaluation, etc.

The use of this software is a very powerful tool that comes included in our services for all Projects. Data is collected by our own personnel via hand held terminals with GPRS/WiFi connectivity in a manner that we can issue interchange receipts on the spot, while these are being relayed to the de-signated parties.

ZPM OFFERSLOGISTIC COST EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCYZPMS’s Control panel responds in real-time to logistics issues and customer needs, reducing equipment idle time, delivery delays and their consequences all along the logistic chain up to the site, increasing equipment and compo-nents availability and schedule compliance, with timely adjustment, resulting in lower logistic costs.

COLLABORATIVE TROUBLESHOOTINGOur “field staff” together with our appointed Project Manager at control cen-tre, work in close collaboration with our customer, monitoring performance issues to ensure the Project is running as expected or that the best alternative path is taken in time.

CUSTOMIZED REPORTINGOn line reporting and consulting and automatic reports for spot events, Daily status, Weekly status and “significant operational events”, provide operating parameters and trends, and signal potential short-fallings. This data is avai-lable to assist with the identification of performance issues and the planning of alternative options ahead of time.

RELIABILITYZPMS uses AMAZON’s AWS servers, a global trustworthy, 24/7/365 plat-form. With our field terminals capability to receive and deliver data via inter-net, all we need is a mobile phone line or WIFI connection to be on line. In cases where, due to location restrictions no cell phone coverage is reacha-ble, our field terminals store information which will be uploaded to the server as soon as a secure connection is available.

EXPERTISEZPMS was developed based on over 30 years of experience in logistics ma-nagement and the input of our valuable customers along the time, with their feedback and expert requirements in terms of planning, controlling and re-porting.
