• Co-ordinate Shipments from Multiple Suppliers, consolidating these orders to maximise Container or Pallet Utilisation resulting in reduced per unit cost and generating price efficency for customers
• Review your Delivery Dates to determine the most efficient dispatch approach
  • Utilise Transhipment Seafreight Vessel instead of Direct Seafreight Vessel if delivery date permits
  • Advise that Priority/TACT Airfreight Services and not General Airfreight Services are required to meet critical deadline

Our system will provide KPI reporting on various milestones that are flexible and can be built to your needs. It has the capability of receiving Electronic Files from any system through advanced Middleware, which means your orders can be uploaded into our system at the same time you are dispatching to your supplier. If you don’t have this capability you can insert the orders through our own Network and they will automatically upload into our Tracking System, or ACA will upload your orders manually from information provided by you or your suppliers.
