CONTAINER SPACE TEMPORARY PARTITION

In a FMCG company , where multipoint delivery is there , container materials getting mismatch after 1st point of delivery.

For Ex :- 3 points get loaded, after 1st point unloading, 1/3 of the space became empty, so as the vehicle start moving the 2nd phase materials started falling down, by reaching to 3rd place all the materials get mismatch, materials got damage and when the containers gate getting open materials falling down.

You cannot make partition with woods or steel on 3pl hired vehicle.

To avoid the scenario , solution is there. Load 1st point and put a full size sticker ( For Ex 9 ft length and 9 ft breath ) with full glue on the back side. As 1st point loading done place the full size sticker from top to bottom and then load the 2nd and 3rd after placing the sticker.

As the materials unload on the 1st place, 1/3 rd space get empty , sticker will save some of the materials to fall down and 3rd phase materials intact. The chance of mismatch and damage will reduce.

Its a solution where the cost of the sticker is involved but chance of mismatch , damage will get reduced. Only quality of the sticker must be good and full size, some margin on the sticker also reqd.

Think something out of box, Logistic is a service sector, make your customer happy will help to retain.

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. People will go to the website and place the order, prepaid and just need to inform a courier . Materials will get picked from warehouse end get delivered. Benefit we can reach customer to every point of the nation, and digital marketing reqd to promote the same onl...
