RiverStar, Inc.
A Worldwide Order Fulfillment Company

Strengths

RiverStar is responsive.  We strive to respond quickly to Customer needs through daily communication at the Planner, Engineering, Marketing, and Manufacturing levels.

RiverStar is flexible. We are capable of handling Customers' automated ordering systems - whether through EDI, via the web, or via Customer specific applications. 

RiverStar excels at data collection. RiverStar accurately collects a variety of Customer order and product  information  through the use of  custom relational databases,  barcode printing, and barcode scanning equipment. Collected information includes: ship-to, order #, tracking information, serial #, test data, version data, etc.

RiverStar is a full service distributor. Customer orders are processed for Factory Production, Parts Distribution, Dealer Field Kits, Parts Remanufacture/Reconditioning, Unit Upgrades, Preventive Maintenance, Service Kits, and Engineering/Marketing Specials. Orders are filled in a variety of ways: from purchased parts inventory, from parts built by RiverStar, from out-of-box returns, or from stripped and reconditioned parts. RiverStar also provides a unique service: we salvage and refurbish parts from used Customer supplied machines. These refurbished parts are then packaged and shipped worldwide per Customer direction.

History

RiverStar was established in 1995 as a Final Test, Packaging and Distribution facility for electronic mapping systems used in agriculture.  These mapping systems are shipped directly from RiverStar's Winona, MN, location to customers and factories located around the world.               

In 1999 RiverStar was awarded a contract with a major medical company to Recondition, Test and Distribute electronic and electromechanical assemblies. 

In June of 2000, RiverStar consolidated operations into the impressive 40,000 square foot facility that presently houses both RiverStar business offices and operations. Located on three acres of undeveloped property, this modern building has high bay warehouse space plus separate shipping and receiving docks. Beyond the original floor space, the building also includes a newly completed 30,000 square foot addition.  The new addition is fully equipped and ready to handle future manufacturing, testing, warehousing, and kitting expansion projects.
