Getting the basics right
This international merchant moves huge volumes of raw materials globally, typically negotiating rates directly with shipping lines as a beneficial cargo owner.

The basic component in many manufacturing processes, their products are required just in time (JIT) to keep the production lines moving. Which means that hitting deadlines, with dependable, reliable freight solutions is critical and, because margins are so slender, so is getting the perfect blend of service, transit and cost.
For six months the client tried to negotiate price and service levels for a 2,000 TEU/year contract from Asia to the US, directly with a number of lines, but could not achieve the necessary blend of service, transit and cost.
Using alternative routings and carriers our commercial team reduced overall costs, and enhanced service levels, with two distinct solutions to avoid peak congestion issues.
