One of the most critical aspects of supply chain management is understanding the overseas transport of goods. In some industries, the majority of products that are sold come from different countries due to the cheaper manufacturing costs.
However, getting those cheaper products to your own country for sale could be a complex process that requires in-depth knowledge and understanding of shipping, port management, and logistics as well as the overall costs of shipping products to ensure that this is the most cost-effective method against flying.
One of the primary considerations is the speed of shipping. Overseas transport can often take much longer than flight, but it has other benefits, such as bulk-shipping, which can also be much cheaper and help with profit margins.
In order to grow a business using overseas manufacturing, it’s essential to understand the accessibility of containers, freight management, and remote employee management to ensure your products get where they need to be on time and without damage.
