Aerospace and Aviation Industry

Challenges

Time to market is a key word in the aerospace and aviation industry and therefore drop shipments are increasingly utilized.

• Drop shipping is still a challenging task for many companies in the aviation industry (i.e. paying premium rates and labor intensify is attached).

• Drop Shipments are also commercially vulnerable for companies trying to protect information from reaching their customers or suppliers.

• Product quality is an issue at stake as companies do not see their product before arrival to their customers.

• Currently drop shipments are poorly managed by local forwarders due to the lack of control, unfamiliarity with

the required process, the different time zone and network limitations.

Solutions for B2B Trade Platforms

Challenges

During the last decade many online trading platform were established

The new trading platforms provide sophisticated trade services where the focus is on maximizing number of transactions regardless to the place of origin or destination.

The logistic part of this type of business model tend to be complex (not a core business) and mostly require companies to tie high fixed costs in capital (i.e manpowers and systems). The on-going investment include:

– Gaining continuous and updated understanding of the global trade and global logistics markets including continuous benchmark of global routes.

– Labor intensive-long after hours operation– On going training to employees– Continuous search for reliable logistics partners globally– Investment in logistics and communication systems

Local freight forwarders(3rd party) face difficulty to provide this type of service due to their exclusive attachment to one global network, internal setup or lack of network capabilities.
