Our concept - door-to-deck - handles your spare parts from the moment you confirm a purchase with one of your suppliers until delivered safely on the deck of one of your vessels. We can of course do everything any marine logistics provider can do but where we really make a difference is our door-to-deck concept that unleash substantial cost savings in your logistics setup and also in your organisation.
The key elements in this setup is:
a substantial port agent network
a high quality flexible warehouse setup
experienced coordinators 24/7
a tailor made IT system
and the Trans-it order management setup.
So what are the main advatages of this set-up or consept:
1. Cost reduction
We realise how the current market situation influences on our clients budgets and understand there is a constant pressure to save costs. Our concept will drastically reduce costs for the purchase or technical department, for the logistics department and for the operations department. Our concept create savings beyond the simple a-to-b transportation scenario. By utilising our concept your organisation will save costs at many levels of your organisation.
Areas of savings:
Time saved in purchasing when using our PO order module
Cost saved in transportation when utilising PO order in combination with onboard delivery and regular transportation
Cost saved on import charges when using our flexible warehouse set-up
Cost saved on onboard delivery when using our agent setup
All costs known in advance and no cost over the DA account
The key to cost reductions lies in the Order Management, in the Port Agent Network and the Flexible Warehouse Setup. By shipping to a Trans-it agent in the port of destination the transport process can start much earlier and long before your operations department appoints a local agent. This combined with our order management, that ensures we have all details about your orders before the order is ready at suppliers, creates a much lager window for transportation («The Extended Timeframe») and thus possibility to consolidate shipments from pickup to delivery and cut costs drastically (service 3). Include our flexible warehouse setup that makes it easy to combine shipments where most cost effective, and reduce the number of shipments being sent into the final destination. This drastically reduce the local handling and clearing costs. The total setup from supplier to deck unleash the real savings both in logistics and also in your organisation, and makes a few cents on an airfreight insignificant.
2. Security in delivery
The fewer people involved with your spares from supplier to deck the less possibility of mistakes and oversight. The fact that we coordinate each and every item for a vessel from the doorstep of the supplier until delivered on deck or to a launch base, and also controls all the documents along the way, ensures a secure and precise delivery onboard.
3. Documents
Documents handling is a vital part of the logistics process to make sure that all orders are delivered timely to the vessel. Hold ups in customs are far to often the result of low quality documentation and non conformability. Trans-it have developed a documents setup, in cooperation with our agents, that guarantees to conform with local customs regulations and thus secures a smooth customs process everywhere from West Africa and South America to Europe and Scandinavia.
4. Insurance
By handling spares from supplier to vessel, we are also able to arrange for an very cost efficient insurance policy covering all items shipped, until they are safe and sound onboard.
