Challenge: The Need for Efficient Transportation from Multiple Suppliers


Businesses are increasingly adopting multi-sourcing strategies from suppliers spread across the world. This has led to a manufacturing boom in India, presenting logistics challenges due to the dispersed locations of suppliers. Coordinating shipments from multiple suppliers in different areas adds complexity, especially given the country's congested traffic bottlenecks.


Solution: KWE India's Comprehensive Approach


KWE India's expert team coordinates pick-ups from multiple suppliers and consolidates the shipments into a single container for load optimization at our Inland Container Depots (ICD) or Container Freight Station (CFS) warehouses. We alleviate road congestion en route to the port by leveraging our network and exclusive INDIALINX rail transport, owned by our subsidiary company, APL Logistics. Shipments are monitored every step of the way, providing visibility for our clients.

Results: A Win-Win for Our Clients and the Environment


KWE significantly reduced the number of containers used by our client through the consolidation of shipments from multiple suppliers. As a result of load optimization, transport costs were reduced, and multiple trips between warehouses and ports were eliminated. In turn, transit times and CO2 emissions were minimized, enhancing efficiency and contributing to environmental sustainability.
