Flexible logistics solutions: designing a multi-modal plan for supply chain success
Connecting your products to markets throughout the world is a complex, multi-faceted process which calls for navigation through the dynamics of global markets, transportation modes, and costs, all the while meeting your customers’ demands.
Our goal is to simplify this process by working closely with you to understand your unique supply chain needs. Our consultative experts do this by listening to your requirements, and understanding your company’s vision, products, and business goals. This enables us to develop an effective, end-to-end integrated logistics plan that optimises your go-to-market strategy.
Transportation
Identifying the most suitable modes of transportation – air, sea, truck, or rail – involves taking into account a range of performance considerations including service reliability, cost, transit time, carbon footprint and your cargo’s unique attributes.
Balancing the need for speed against cost considerations is critical to this process. For example, if your cargo is time-sensitive, expedited air transport may suit your needs best. On the other hand, ocean transport could be the most suitable solution for cost-sensitive, less time-critical freight, or a combination of the two. It’s important to choose the transportation modes that can ensure the integrity and safe passage of your shipments throughout the journey.
Technology
Technology is an important piece of this puzzle. It allows you and your supply chain partners to monitor shipments in transit and respond to any exceptions that may occur. By leveraging technology, you can provide all the stakeholders with real-time access to the shipments. This helps keep a track of the shipments, optimise routes and minimise delivery times. Technology also allows you to deliver a better customer experience and add to the bottom line.
