In these times of marketing overload and promises of supply-chain competency, too many companies have found out that most of the words are exactly that - just words. There is very little reality in what some international supply chain companies say they can provide. And, unfortunately, too many companies find out too late in the process.
Many service providers seem to have forgotten that the business process has not really changed a great deal. Companies still purchase, ship, distribute and sell their products. The difference is the time frame and the just-in-time processes that have been integrated into the global supply chain.
Importers of multiple SKU's need to be able to determine exactly where a specific product is in the transportation supply chain. Their needs often relate to the fact that a particular product may have been elevated to a rush delivery further down the importer's distribution chain. And perhaps the most challenging aspect is finding a freight forwarder that can provide this level of inquiry. Most don't.
