INDIANAPOLIS, July 12, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brightpoint, Inc. ("BrightPoint") (CELL), a global leader in providing device lifecycle services to the wireless and high-tech industries, today announced that it has entered into a logistic services agreement with Fitbit, Inc. ("Fitbit"), the market leader in the rapidly growing category of wireless fitness and health devices.
Under the terms of the agreement, BrightPoint's regional affiliates will provide a variety of critical logistic services in both North America and Europe, including receiving, warehousing, inventory and order management, kitting, transportation management, order fulfillment and reverse logistics for the Fitbit Ultra Wireless Tracker and Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale. BrightPoint's affiliate in Slovakia will also develop a Webshop on Demand solution for the European market and provide certain distribution services under the agreement, enabling consumers to order Fitbit products online and arrange delivery directly to the customer's doorstep.
The Fitbit Ultra helps users improve their fitness by accurately and easily monitoring daily movement, and providing real-time feedback on steps taken, distance traveled, and calories burned.

"BrightPoint has an excellent reputation in forward and reverse logistics and they offer our company a great solution for our lean and efficient supply chain," stated Hans Hartmann, Chief Operating Officer at Fitbit. "We look forward to working with BrightPoint, making the availability of our wellness products more efficient through our channels and helping people lead healthier lifestyles."
