Warehousing
Cargo Consolidation
Combine multiple suppliers into one economical shipment.
The problem
Why businesses struggle
Buying from several suppliers means several small shipments, each with its own freight minimum, clearance fee and delivery charge.
Business impact
- Paying minimum charges three or four times over
- Stock arriving in an unpredictable sequence
- Clearance costs multiplied per consignment
