Challenges faced
Our client wanted to transport their shipments from India to Genoa within a constrained timeframe, navigating the complexities of the Christmas season’s elevated freight charges. The primary challenge was to consolidate shipments from various suppliers and undertake a comprehensive shipment process. However, the logistical hurdles intensified with the movement and consolidation of a substantial 11-container shipment, exceeding 500+ cubic meters. Adding to the complexity, our client’s directive to avoid shipping during the Christmas season, emphasizing the need for both timely and cost-effective solutions.

Addressing the time-sensitive nature of the task necessitated agile problem-solving and strategic assessment of warehousing space, coupled with providing efficient cargo status reports.
To manage these challenges, we at Freight Systems formulated a comprehensive plan and implemented Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the origin. Daily updated status reports were shared with all suppliers, fostering transparency and seamless coordination. Understanding the importance of meeting deadlines, we proactively orchestrated container planning based on the unique requirements of buyers and consignees.
