Supply Chain Manager
Challenges Faced
- Our customer has a sophisticated business with suppliers and production sites spread throughout Africa, and final goods headed for several manufacturing facilities in the United States.
- Shipping from so many locations had proven ineffective. However, there was no chance to maximize volumes because of the way it ran its operations and suppliers.
Solution
To satisfy our customers’ expectations, FOS Desk collaborated closely with their suppliers and established pick-up plans based on reverse engineering of sailings and cut-offs.
We have established two ocean consolidation facilities in Africa’s largest container port, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal province, and South Africa’s main seaport, Natal Bay, on the Indian Ocean. We may now collect loose LTL (less-than-truckload) goods from all shippers directly at these sites.
We were subsequently able to turn LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments into FCL (Full Container Load) shipments using these centralized consolidation services, which allowed them to be shipped on direct carrier contracts.
Our team was committed and focused, executing order-level routing instructions and liaising with shipping lines to deliver this.
Results
- The removal of thousands of distinct LCL shipments and destination files has had a significant impact on the customer’s business as a result of the outcomes.
- We have successfully decreased DPPM (Defective Parts Per Million) by a considerable amount because of the flawless implementation of our solutions.
- We have eradicated destination penalties and fines imposed by authorities by integrating compliance across the entire process, utilizing strong work instructions in conjunction with relevant audit procedures.
- Regular updates and KPI monitoring at every level ensure that the entire solution stays on track.
