When it comes to clearing and freight forwarding delivery to the supply chain, decisions informed by experience together with how efficiently regulatory and procedural compliance are executed by a Logistics partner, determine how much of a cost saving can be secured. It’s not if by chance a cost saving is a possible outcome, but rather to what degree and under which scenarios it can be unlocked.
The best measure of clearing and forwarding emerges when technical knowledge and in-country know-how is applied simultaneously. This gives a business the right moves for its goods via the right modes of transport, and at the right times. That’s good news for businesses, as they currently operate in many markets where growth is not the order of the day. It is also good news for an end-to-end supply chain solutions provider, such as Value Logistics,
which has through strategic partnerships a presence in every country around the world and nearly two decades of experience gained through its dedicated Clearing & Forwarding division.
Heavyweight value-add on board
In the early 2000’s a number of companies tried to acquire and combine logistics competencies to offer end-to-end supply chain services. This was no easy feat and they experienced many challenges with little or no success. That did not deter the resolute Value Logistics team, who were the daredevils of that decade. They forged ahead and added Clearing and Forwarding to their portfolio of services, and made it work. Customers benefitted by getting their supply chain handled end-to-end, with total care.
At Value today we continue to dare. With each shipment we look for opportunities to drive efficiency and cost-saving for each customer. In doing so we have found that putting customers first is the golden key in the ignition. However, getting this right there are critical enablers and junctures for driving value in a supply chain on the move across borders.
