Background
The client’s downstream buyers were several garment factories in Russia, orders were fragmented, and deadlines were tight. Full containers ran at low utilisation, while pure air freight was unaffordable.
Our approach
- Ran consolidated trucking, gathering orders from the same week into a single departure.
- Sorted by destination city in Moscow and moved onward by local delivery to each garment factory.
- Packed fabric in rolls with moisture protection to avoid crushing and deformation in transit.
- Settled monthly on actual cubic volume, with no minimum spend threshold.
Outcome
- Monthly departures
- 9 trucks
- Unit cost vs. FCL
- 12% lower
- Average transit
- 18 days
- Repeat business
- 100%
Consolidation removed the need to hold stock while filling containers, cutting nearly two weeks from the client’s cash cycle.
