LTL from China to Almaty: stable lead times and fewer damages
ТОО «ElectroMart Distribution KZ»
Challenge
Shipments were fragmented across 5+ suppliers, lead times fluctuated, packaging damages caused returns, and document disputes grew.
Solution
One controlled consolidation process with fixed cut-offs, packaging/labeling standards, photo evidence and KPI checkpoints.
Results
Approach
Context
The client is an electronics distributor sourcing regularly from 5+ suppliers in China. Before consolidation, shipments moved separately, timelines drifted, and packaging damages led to returns and write-offs.
Task
- Stabilize LTL lead times China → Almaty.
- Reduce damages and claims.
- Improve OTIF and status transparency.
What we did
1) Consolidation setup. One control window for documents and packaging.
2) Fixed cut-off dates. Made readiness and departures predictable.
3) Packing & labeling standards. Removed common errors and weak points.
4) Photo evidence. Confirmed condition and labeling before departure.
5) KPI control. Tracking by checkpoints and reporting for procurement.
Outcome
- Lead time: −22%
- OTIF: +18 pp
- Damages: −35%
- Document claims: −60%
Why it worked
LTL shipments often fail at handoffs. We made consolidation a single controlled process: documents, packaging, cut-offs and checkpoints—one discipline.
