Cargo Services Far East understands the importance of managing each process of cargo handling required by our customers.
Controlling our own warehouses in Hong Kong, China and Singapore, we can guarantee the best quality services to all our customers, especially in the execution of the more sophisticated and complicated Origin Logistics programs.
We lease space from the ATL Logistics Centre in Hong Kong, own our own fleet of container tractors, ensuring we do not have to act as a broker in the industry or sub-contract to local operators.
The total suite of Origin Logistics Services offered by Cargo Services Far East, with its strict key performance indicators of lead times at both ends, has proven to be the catalyst in significantly increasing the proportion of direct sourcing, which generally yield a much higher gross margin for each Purchase Order, of our retailer Principals.
We have some of our Principals prohibiting their buyers from sourcing from importers on Lead Time between Cargo Readiness at Source and Cargo Delivery to their DCs at destinations, as the Lead Time we deliver is far shorter than what the importers can manage.
We have some of the local brands changing their terms of trading with our retailer Principals from Delivered DC to Free-on-Board (FOB) with goods channeling to the supply chain solution of our Principals in China and other parts of the world. Such a program is better known as Supply Chain Substitution. It delivers a greater margin and speed to DC for our Principals.
