CORPORATE PROFILE
Door to Door service (Direct to store/ Port to Store)
Offshore consolidation, by the vendor or VWF Global Forwarding, enables the
importer to ship goods to the port of destination nearest to the end consumer. The
'low-hanging fruit' remaining in most supply chains is the opportunity to reduce the
high cost of transport within the destination country or region.
Direct to store involves processing store orders in the country of origin where
lower labour rates are prevalent. Our process includes applying barcodes to
facilitate piece scanning and automated cross docking at the destination
deconsolidation point. VWF Global Forwarding uses various bar coding methods
including Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) and destination carrier
consignment labels.
Direct to store services may require other origin value-added services including
quality control, kitting, visual point-of-sale, colour-coded cartons to identify store
aisle location, and Public Display Quantities (PDQs) by store.
