FREIGHT FORWARDING
Freight forwarding is another core service offering at SCPL and all support activities are planned to ensure smooth movement of shipments within a framework of carefully monitored segments. Among the challenges we face in achieving this is the need to take into account regulatory changes and local environment conditions that come into play from source to destination.
At a flow chart level this calls for intelligent route optimization to coordinate the efficiencies of multiple carriers, routes and stopovers at ports and transit points. Here again efficiency, reliability and cost control are the attributes that customers look for.
