The Problem
Sifcon came to ITD with existing service and pricing issues with their current Express Courier. So, we stepped in with our wealth of industry expertise and cost-effective solutions.
How We Helped
By understanding Sifton’s volumes and profile, we were able to provide a two-pronged approach to importing their samples. For SMS or UK & European trade fairs, we worked closely with their team in providing a sample consolidation service allowing them to plan and coordinate better.
Throughout the year, we supplied and managed more competitive Express Courier rates than working directly with the carrier.
This resulted in both better communication with the courier and sample savings through the bi-weekly sample consolidation service from China. Annually, savings were upwards of 35%!
“Our experience with ITD has been positive and we have no problems with continuing our business relationship.
Emailed quotations come back to us quickly and confirmation of collection is prompt.
We have no problems in recommending ITD to other businesses.”
