Value Added Freight Forwarding Services from China to Melbourne
DIRECT-TO-STORES DISTRIBUTION
Our direct-to-store distribution model uses consolidation platforms at the point of origin. Goods are consolidated, prepped, and made ready for delivery, then shipped directly to the destination country. This method allows orders to skip traditional distribution centres and go straight to the final delivery point, ready for use or sale.Consolidation Platforms for Greater Control
Our direct-to-store distribution model relies on consolidation platforms at the point of origin, which offer key benefits in both sourcing and transportation. By setting up these platforms, Raw Global improves control and efficiency throughout the supply chain, from origin to final delivery. Through these platforms, we enable:
-
Cargo Consolidation from Multiple Suppliers
We help buyers consolidate goods from different suppliers, whether they are located in the same region or across various countries. This consolidation process offers greater flexibility in how much product is ordered and better control over the flow of goods from different suppliers. Buyers benefit from better coordination and simplified logistics. -
Vendor Management and Quality Control
Raw Global provides vendor management services at consolidation points. For buyers dealing with numerous suppliers, we monitor production, ensure quality control (QC), and manage logistics to ensure timely delivery to the final destination. Our transparent reporting and system integration help buyers maintain oversight and control throughout the entire process. -
Improved Outbound Transportation
Through better container use, consolidation platforms allow companies to make the most of their container loads. By consolidating products from various vendors, shipments can be better organised to reduce less-than-container-load (LCL) shipments. This leads to more efficient use of container space and reduced ocean freight costs. Additionally, companies can shift from one-order-one-shipment to multiple orders per shipment, further increasing efficiency. -
Organised Outbound Shipments
Shipments can be arranged according to demand, allowing for smaller but more frequent shipments. This approach ensures that goods are delivered in the right quantities and on time, meeting customer needs while reducing excess inventory. -
Flexible Product Configurations
We offer flexibility in packaging and shipping. Products from different sellers can be combined and packaged together in a way that best suits the needs of the final destination. In some cases, consolidation platforms are located in bonded warehouses, such as free trade zones or bonded logistics parks, to avoid unnecessary costs from customs duties and taxes. This consolidation process simplifies the supply chain, reduces costs, and ensures products are delivered efficiently and on time, meeting all customs and logistical requirements.
VALUE ADDED LOGISTICS ACTIVITIES
To increase profit margins, more resource-demanding activities are being moved earlier in the supply chain. For example, in the fashion industry, manufacturers often deliver goods that are pre-packaged and ready for distribution. These products may be packed according to the country of destination or in predefined assortments such as style, size, and colour.
Although some suppliers handle these tasks, consolidation platforms are often where value-added logistics activities take place. As the consolidator of goods from different suppliers, we carry out various activities to prepare products for shipment and ensure they meet the necessary standards for each market.
Globalisation and Early Problem Resolution
Shifting value-added services, like quality control, to the origin helps us spot and fix issues early, making them easier to resolve. Products remain close to their manufacturer, making it possible to deal with any problems before they affect the final shipment. This approach helps ensure that products meet consistent quality standards and packaging requirements, regardless of their destination.
This method allows importers to safeguard their business by resolving potential issues early and maintaining uniform quality across the entire supply chain.
