"Just-in-time" inventories spark need for deconsolidators

Deconsolidation
What is Deconsolidation?
Deconsolidation is the process of breaking down bulk international shipments into multiple outbound shipments for final inland delivery directly from the port of entry to a store or distribution center.

Benefits Affecting Your Bottom Line:
Deconsolidating container loads of your products reduces transportation costs, improves total cycles times, adds flexibility and avoids costly charge backs. We will distribute by truck or rail throughout North America using your exact specifications.

Reduced Transportation Costs:
By using our company to transload ocean containers into domestic 53 trailers, you can gain efficiencies on the domestic inland by reducing the number of deliveries to the retailer distribution center or store by almost 2:1.

Improved Total Cycle Times:
By allowing us to manage the flow of your import merchandise in a
just-in-time scenario, you can eliminate the need for safety stock at your
retail stores or distribution center. You can also integrate your workflows,
save re-handling time and minimize points of distribution. And by unitizing
at the deconsolidation center on pallets or slip-sheets, you can improve the
flow of merchandise in and out of your distribution centers.

Increased Flexibility:
You can postpone your final store allocations or distributions center
allocations from when the purchase order is booked at origin, to a point in
time when the goods actually arrive at the port of entry.

Retailer Compliance:
You can avoid costly charge backs by using our deconsolidation service to
properly manage the retailer compliance guidelines. We provide bar code
labeling, EDI messaging, delivery routing compliance, ship window
management, and quality assurance.
