Logistics
Only after receipt the “OK for shipment” from ALGODON N COLORS, the supplier is permitted to dispatch the goods.
The Logistic Department follows up the shipment once he gets the “OK for shipment” from the QC Department. He is in regular touch (several times a day) with the clearing and forwarding agent and gets a daily report by fax in order to follow-up the documents required for shipping and to monitor closely the movement of cargo. This ensures that it is put aboard the targeted vessel and meets the deadline of the buyer. A special software has been designed to enable a proper follow-up. We also take proper care of the consolidation of merchandise, as buyer normally prefer to have the merchandise consolidated from various suppliers.
The Logistic Department makes sure that all the documents required for import are sent to the buyer in order to avoid delay in clearance of goods at destination. ALGODON N COLORS finally sends a shipping advice with all relevant details of shipment.
ALGODON N COLORS is actually an “extension” of his client and assists him from the very initial stages to the final shipment. It takes the burden of all the follow-up action on behalf of his client and ensures a smooth “sailing”
