BUNDLING AT THE SOURCE
This initiative is aiming at moving the pick and pack of seasonal goods to a warehouse in the source country. By making shop ready shipments, combining goods from multiple factories, the need for transport to your European warehouse is gone. Shipments can move straight from arrival in the European harbour to the client’s shop. Additional advantages are better consolidation, faster lead times, lower costs and taking pressure away from the peak season in your own warehouse. Bundling at the source has been operating for a couple of years now, with focus on source country China, and other countries in development.
