Containerisation in the retail trade
18 August 2011
Containerisation is especially suited to the retail trade and has formed a key part in retailers’ supply chain systems for many years. Strict adherence to the stated deadlines is demanded and they need not just the products but even the packaging to arrive in the same condition it left the factory. Consequently carriers, their agents and intermediaries work hard to ensure maximum safety and to manage sophisticated routing instructions, often encompassing large numbers of senders and receivers, origin and delivery points.
This segment is also characterised by a large amount of delivery preparation being demanded by some customers prior to the delivery of their goods.
In the face of strong economic growth in Russia, retail sales, market entry and the expansion of existing networks of retailers, the constant expansion and complication of the commodity nomenclature and geography of procurement, we strive to satisfy our customers' requirements for the speedy and safe delivery of products and increase consumer satisfaction.
Ruscon helps clients to solve the increasingly complex logistics tasks related to faster time to market of new products so enabling an increase the turnover despite the reduction in the life cycles of products. Working with major retail chains in Russia and their suppliers, we are familiar with the peculiarities of production and procurement, seasonal sales, the requirements for renewal of product lines and optimising inventory.
For our clients we offer a full range of logistics services from a supplier’s overseas factory to store shelf in Russia. Maximum attention is paid to our control systems governing the loading of goods into the container and advance quality staff training related to the smooth handling of supporting documents. Even before the arrival of your cargo at the port of unloading, our experts will process all documents for customs inspection and plan ahead to ensure that goods move through the port as quickly and smoothly as possible
Cargo requiring pre-delivery inspection, added value services such as re-packing and labelling are removed to our warehouses. The final stage is sorting, picking and final distribution of goods.
