The Transmodal Advantage
Providing customized logistics and supply chain
services to the leather industry
The Business Challenge
Leather
tanneries as well as manufacturers of leather upholstery, footwear, garments,
accessories, and other leather products are all faced with numerous supply chain
challenges, including matching inventory to rapidly changing consumer demand,
securing efficient, low-cost transportation, and selecting the right logistics
partners to help them achieve an edge in an intensely competitive environment.
Custom Brokerage Services
Transmodal
Associates is uniquely qualified to provide logistics services to the
international leather trade. We have worked extensively with tanneries and
leather suppliers around the globe, including China, South America, India, and
Eastern Block countries. This experience means we understand your needs and
we’re ready to design a customized logistics solution that will meet the
exacting requirements of your leather business.
Our strong
global transportation network and automated brokerage services ensure that your
shipments get to their destination swiftly, safely, and without error. And our
web-based, real-time order tracking and alerting capabilities give you full
visibility to shipments at every stage of the transportation and delivery
process.
Transmodal also has significant experience in
the operation of foreign trade zones (FTZs). Once your merchandise moves into a
FTZ, it is exempt from import duties and the process of having to go through
formal customs entry procedures. An FTZ also provides you with the flexibility
of being able to handle your merchandise in a variety of ways, including storing
imports without duties or customs procedures, destroying damaged or substandard
goods, displaying merchandise, repackaging/re-labeling goods, and more.
Transmodal understands all aspects of FTZs and will work with you to ensure that
your leather business utilizes FTZs for maximum benefit.
The Benefits of Direct Transport
Leather
manufacturers and suppliers must continually strive to maintain high product
quality and meet on-time deliveries while keeping costs and inventory levels
low. To help meet this challenge, Transmodal offers an integrated supply chain
management solution called Import Direct that effectively manages inventory
through the pipeline and ships direct to a final destination, effectively
bypassing distribution centers. This solution can significantly speed your
product time to market, reduce handling and transportation costs, and improve
customer service levels.
Import Direct
works by keeping inventory continually moving from source to final destination.
Shipments are assigned and labeled at the origin for ultimate delivery, and then
shipped via ocean or air depending on the required delivery date. Upon arrival,
shipments are transferred to the carrier of your choice and delivered direct to
a store or a customer’s door. Products arrive faster, at lower costs, and with
less handling which minimizes the potential for loss or damage. Import Direct
offers a number of key advantages for leather manufacturers and suppliers:
ü
Reduces segregating and handling costs by 80%
ü
Lowers transportation costs by up to 20%
ü
Eliminates 1-2 weeks of inventory
ü
Reduces stocks outs
ü
Improves shipment visibility and control
