Consolidation is the process of
filling containers (Air or Sea) with mixed product from various suppliers, as
prescribed by the customer / retailer.
This benefits the customer in 2
ways:
1. Eliminates agent and associated
distribution costs at the destination
2. Minimizes freight and logistics
costs by the shipment of economic quantities
Consolidation tools employed by
AustXport use the latest technology to ensure consignments have maximum payload.
Frequently, the challenge for
Australian companies who wish to export, and overseas buyers and importers, is
the same. It relates to MOQ’s (minimum order quantities) a major determinant of
which is transport costs.
The
AustXport consolidation model is the perfect solution, because by consolidating
shipments, the freight cost of one carton is the same as the average cost of one
carton in a full container, thereby eliminating the freight disadvantage of
small order quantities
