Our Custom Solution
To address the client’s fragmented supply chain pain points, we provided a one-stop cargo consolidation and shipping coordination service:
1. Dedicated Coordination Team & Centralized Warehouse: We assigned a dedicated account manager to align production timelines with all 8 suppliers, and provided a centralized consolidation warehouse in Shanghai. All suppliers delivered their goods to our warehouse, where we conducted unified quality inspections, labeling, and sorting.
2. Optimized Container Loading & Space Utilization: Our logistics experts designed a customized loading plan for mixed fragile cargo—using shock-absorbing foam for glass bottles and stacking lightweight packaging materials in gaps. This boosted container space utilization from 65% to 92% for each 20ft container.
3. End-to-End Shipping Management: We handled full-service freight forwarding, including booking vessels, preparing customs documentation (compliant with UK HMRC regulations), and providing real-time shipment tracking via a digital portal. We also arranged for FCL (Full Container Load) shipping to eliminate split-shipping delays.
Accurately measured the size, thread and sealing surface of the original glass bottle mouth
Optimized the cap structure and internal sealing gasket, adjusted the cap size and radian to perfectly fit the bottle mouth
Conducted repeated trial assembly and leakage testing to verify the matching degree between the improved cap and bottle
