PUDO+
Smart, tactical extension of your field supply chain
What is a PUDO?
PUDO stands for “Pick Up Drop Off”. Put simply, it’s a designated location where parts or other items can be collected or returned. Each individual PUDO typically forms part of a wider network, often made up of hundreds or even thousands of sites.
While definitions can vary, PUDOs are generally staffed locations. A member of staff – or team – manages the transfer of parts by scanning items in and out of the site and often locating the required part. PUDOs can range from full warehouses to smaller locations or local shops, but most are compact, accessible locations.
In field service logistics, PUDOs play a crucial role in getting parts to engineers quickly and conveniently. By providing a nearby pick-up or drop-off point, they reduce travel time, increase efficiency, and help keep operations running smoothly.
