FMCG Consolidation and 3PL Distribution in India
Argus Shipping streamlined the supply chain for a major retail brand, transitioning them from fragmented imports to a centralized consolidation and 3PL distribution model in India.
Discuss Your ShipmentClient Challenge
The retailer was importing LCL shipments from multiple Asian suppliers directly to individual stores, resulting in high freight costs, delayed clearances, and stockouts.
Argus Solution
We implemented a Buyer’s Consolidation model. Suppliers delivered goods to our consolidation hubs in China and Southeast Asia, where we loaded dedicated FCL containers bound for Mumbai port.
Execution & Clearance
Upon arrival in India, we moved the containers to our bonded warehouse facility. Argus took over the 3PL operations, managing inventory, pick-and-pack, and domestic road freight distribution to the retail stores.
Outcome
The client reduced their international freight spend by 22%, eliminated stockouts, and improved their store replenishment cycle time by 40%.
