TRANSLOADING

Transloading is a shipping term that refers to the transfer of goods from one mode of transportation to another en route to their ultimate destination. Transloading has become a standard method for shipping goods in recent years, in part due to increased international trade and the growth of internet commerce.

TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT

Transportation management comprises the processes and systems used to manage the needs and requirements specific to the physical transportation of goods and cargo as part of supply chain or logistics management.

WAREHOUSE & DISTRIBUTION

Warehousing is the process of storing physical goods before they are sold or further distributed in a dedicated warehouse or storage facility. Warehouses safely and securely store products in an organized way to track where items are located, when they arrived, how long they have been there, and the quantity on hand. It is important that supply chain managers have an overall strategy for commodity warehousing, particularly in resource poor environments where warehousing can provide a buffer against uncertainties and breakdowns within the supply chain. Managers need to think of warehouses as dynamic operations centers housing a varied range of distinct yet complementary activities that combine to collect and hold products for subsequent shipment to service delivery points.
