Customized Multimodal Transport Solution, Reducing Costs and Increasing Efficiency for Cross-border E-commerce Clients

A North American cross-border e-commerce platform client purchased children’s outdoor toys and faced the dilemma of “slow sea freight timeliness and high air freight costs”. According to the client’s requirements for cargo weight, volume and shelf-loading timeliness, we customized a multimodal transport solution of “sea freight + overseas warehouse deconsolidation + final-mile express delivery”. The first leg adopted fast sea freight to reduce logistics costs. After the goods arrived at the overseas warehouse, we prioritized deconsolidation and sorting. Hot-selling products were directly delivered to the client’s FBA warehouse by express, while slow-moving products were temporarily stored in the overseas warehouse to reduce warehousing pressure. This solution not only reduced the overall logistics cost by 24% compared with pure air freight, but also improved the timeliness by 11.5% compared with traditional sea freight, helping the client maximize inventory turnover efficiency.
