To manage the supply chain of one of our US customers Col has been managing logistics centres in Shenzhen for weekly Buyer's Consolidations. COL organizes shipments with Chinese suppliers as per the sales performance in US and selects the best shipping method to meet the consumer’s demand. Garments and bags from different suppliers are consolidated, relabeled and loaded in such a way that the garment can be ready for store at destination. This direct-to-store practice, or so called DC bypass, enables the customer to reduce or eliminate the warehouse space used in US for sorting and distribution. To better utilize the container space for flat-packed garment, COL has implemented a special loading method (sequential loading) to optimize the time for unloading and sorting (handling) - achieving an improved speed to market at a lower cost. Col's Extra security measures such as cage section, smart card access and CCTV gives our US customer confidence of cargo safety.
