Summary of Value:
Overall Logistics Analysis:
In today's ever-changing logistics and ocean freight environment, we analyze your current program to identify potential cost savings by aligning your volume with the right carriers. We compare pricing and services from NVOC and VOC carriers, as well as forwarding options, to optimize efficiency. This process can save your employees valuable time by handling an in-depth analysis of this area of your supply chain, uncovering freight cost savings, and creating a more streamlined, vertically integrated program.
Shipment Consolidation:
With the expertise of our trained China-based staff, we evaluate opportunities to consolidate your shipments by factories. This enables you to mix shipments and consolidate orders, allowing for the shipment of mixed containers to multiple warehouses (WHSEs). By reducing the need to break out containers for re-shipping to other WHSEs, you can significantly cut U.S.-based labor and domestic transportation costs. The process begins at the origin.
Customs Analysis and Management:
We analyze your current item listings and HTS numbers to identify any tariff exclusions you may not be utilizing, potentially securing refunds if available. We work with top customs brokers who possess deep expertise to ensure your customs program remains accurate and fully optimized.
