TRANSPORTATION CONTAINER SPACE


In our daily scenario of Indian context , dispatch we run after space to cater exact order to the customer. For Ex :- After receiving the order we assume a container space, if the order is more as per container space, order get cut or if the space remains it’s a loss. 

Every container size is different and exact excel calculation will not 100%. If need to wait for container vehicle to come its waste of Time.

Time = Money.

On general sense.


If the order is low

  1. Ask sales person to increase the order to maximize vehicle space utilization
  2. A full packed vehicle reduce damage chance.
If the order value is high

  1. Materials get billed as per space only, in any ways more than 100 % loading not possible.
On the following scenario I had found a solution up to a certain extend it can get managed.

1.No Need to run after sales
2. No need to pressure sales to increase order
3 Force Selling increase market return as % of expiry increase
4 In case of advance payment, need to wait for customer for extra money or order.
5. Reduction of ROI ( Return on Investment ) from customer point.
6. Value reduction on 2nd order if the partial order get increase on 1st order and again the cycle will start.


In transportation market customized container is available ( As it’s a public platform, and my blog is not sponsored ) I am not writing any name.

The concept is the order for a particular consignment might not be a full standard container ( 20 FT/ 24 FT / 32 FT). So What different size container is available in the market . For Ex if 5 lac order = 20 ft, so my order value is 2 lac, I will reqd a container of 10 to 12 FT, and in case its 7 lac, so a additional small container will reqd.

Yes its available in the market. All is to needed a proper knowledge of the container available in the market .

FREIGHT COST CALCULATION

DIRECT TO CUSTOMER

 In the ERA of Covid 19 pandemic, business down, people at home so all we need to think about some different structure altogether. I am working in Cake and Bakery unit, people will consume, but how the product will get cater to customer point directly. The solution we have arrived is to tie up with various courier service, For Ex :- Letter gets delivered then why not materials. If we get registered our product into any modern trade format 25% - 30% margin need to be assured from MRP + freight + Distribution cost. Altogether calculate and spend the money for courier service. Its the fact very low val sku might not get delivered but make a bundle pack, special packaging with a bubble pack and the materials ready to travel.

How to Find a Transporter

 How to find a Transporter ? To find a proper transporter is difficult  To evaluate the same To get competitive rate . So what's the solution. The solution is bidding or auction . Auction is a process where a IT provider will provide a platform, ask the IT provider to get transporters. A experience provider already had a pool for the same work done previously, just ask for the service. Ask the provider to arrange a auction and bring vendor. With 1 hr auction a comparative rate with vendor details will be received. Think differently.
