Multimodal specialist for national and international transportation of special and extra heavy and over dimensioned cargo.
Cargo consolidation is done when there is a need of a container optimal usage and there isn’t enough cargo to fill a unit. In those cases it is interesting to study the alternatives to reduce logistics costs. However it is important to observe important circumstances like product compatibility. Chemical, hygiene and edible products may present restrictions. But general cargo won’t present compatibility issues.
Commodity transportation and distribution is an essential activity to every business and product manufacturer. Planning how you are going to deliver your product to your clients require a strategic operation to consider, anticipate and make accounts of every variable that may affect moving items from a point A to a point B. Even though every transportation and distribution plan is distinct, there are key aspects to every one of them. Your plan must touch and reflect all the points that surround transportation and distribution, but developed especially for the reality of your business. Suzanlog helps you designing the higher level of service to your final customer with the best cost-benefit ratio.

Cross-docking is a complex process with many details and therefore demands maturity from clients and suppliers in the sense of knowing how to be able to admit their needs and limitations. Cross-docking is indicated for consistent operations with a large outflow when the space and business resources limit the velocity of the operation and can result in collateral costs like storage, delay fees with vehicles and container, in addition to operational costs like employee overtime. A well planned cross-docking is not only about outflow but it also has the premisse to aggregate value to the logistic chain, speeding up the next stages, like checking points, cargo palletization, labelling, fiscal documents check, etc. That will promote a safe and fast operation since the aggregated steps of the process won’t be done in the clients warehouses.

DTA Custom Clearance is the regime that allows, under custom control, from one clearance territory to another with tax reduction. This regime subsists from the origin point (itinerary starting point) to the destination point (itinerary final point), and from the moment of the clearance of the custom transit done by the Internal Revenue Service until the certification of the arrival of the cargo by the destination’s repartition. This is a specialized service that needs a special authorization to be done. Suzanlog has the know how and expertise as well as qualified personnel to coordinate custom transit operations with high complexity characteristics that may generate financial lost and fines if they don’t attend the demands and deadlines established by the custom authorities.

In stuffing operations you can’t leave empty room inside the container. When it is completely filled living no empty spaces and the product packing is uniform there is no problem. But when the cargo is not sufficient to fill a container it needs to be properly tied and wired with ropes and extenders or anchored by the filling of the spaces with wooden racks or platforms, props, air bags or any other structure that keeps the cargo from moving inside the container and getting damaged as well as damaging the container. In container stuffing it is necessary to take into account equipment’s point of balance to avoid problems and accidents, since cargo that does not respect that aspect won’t give the container the necessary balance to be properly manipulated by the moving gears. If a merchant presents irregular packing or weight differences within each other there is the need to take special care with the stuffing to avoid weight excess in one of the sides. Heavier cargo must be put under the lighter ones and if they are in a small quantity they must be placed in the center of the container to preserve its point of balance and give stability. When there isn’t enough cargo to fill an entire container, the floor must be the first place to be filled and never the back of it. Stuffing can be accomplished manually volume by volume or using a forklift and pallets to transport cargo inside the container or even a conveyor belt in the case of roofless containers. Another concern for stuffing is about IMO hazardous load because they have specific legislations and restrictions about packing and quantity. Suzanlog has qualified personnel specialized in Danger Goods Regulation DGR – IATA, and responsible by plan and project development for stuffing and boarding for road, air and sea shipment.
Consolidation and deconsolidation of cargo is a process that takes place in import and export boarding. Consolidation happens in export boarding and is characterized by the packing of one or multiple cargo batches in a container. Deconsolidation occurs for import boarding and is characterized. by the removal of one or multiple batches from a container. This process is identified as a mechanism to reduce costs. The simpler strategy to consolidate cargo is to postpone shipping in a determined route until there is enough load to reach maximum capacity in the transportation vehicle. The problem with that is sometimes it affects negatively client services both in delivery deadline and its consistency. Cargo consolidation allows the gathering of many shippings both from a single or multiple shippers to a same destination, benefiting from scale economy. Fractional cargo are characterized by having small load amount embarked according to the used modal or packing unit,
like a container. Fractional cargo are recognized by different types of product and irregular demands according to a time frame. In international logistics, specially in fast modals like aerial, cargo consolidation generates economy scale, distributing permanent costs by a larger volume of imported products, aside from raising the power to negotiate international freight, which turns into something more advantageous the higher the volume and weight. Our import export team conducts detailed studies about consolidation and embark opportunities in all transportation modals presenting pros and cons of every alternative and delivering precise and quality information to the client’s decision making process.
Promotional logistics is composed of many stages that begin at the material receiving, assemble and shipping of the kit to the selling point. This process is responsible for a large scale of generated costs in a marketing campaign and influences the success of a strategy. To help guarantee operational efficiency and therefore a successful performance for a marketing campaign, businesses need to structure these actions beforehand, since they might face bureaucratic and operational obstacles undermining the actions success. Our team will create a study ponctuating important steps of the process, verifying about specific licenses needs, and evaluating the implementation of the project. This stage consists in detailed evaluating about the product’s characteristics and specifications, physical space adequacy, license and authorization acquisition and the elaboration of a timetable with the steps to implement the project. Even though that operation might seem simple, it is filled with details that, if ignored, may generate future liabilities, when an operation can be erroneously classified as repacking and for the tax office classified as a industrialization process, fitting it into a completely fiscal classification than a simple packing or repacking, with the incidence of different federal and state taxes.
The nationalization and labeling merchandise process must be done flexibly and quickly using modern solutions to control and monitor all movements to avoid problems with deadlines, safety, merchandise lost and legal proceedings. Tha nationalized product can receive a new label or tag with information indicated by the client, enabling it to be associated with a national brand and avoiding financial damage and client loss. Aside from the logistics, labeling and identification with regulation seals, there is a bureaucratic step as important as the other steps, where licenses to import documents, import declarations and import statement must be available to consult every time they are solicited by fiscal and regulatory agencies. We are vigilant to those details and will assist your business to a safe and efficient operation.

Our Redex Terminal’s (Special Enclosure to Export Customs Clearance) objective is to facilitate the attendance and operationalization of the export logistics allowing a faster activity which centralizes all the export and clearance processes with Suzanlog, obtaining administrative and operation cost reductions to export shipments that come into our Special Enclosure for customs. In numbers, choosing REDEX represents a 30% logistics cost reduction, particularly in processes with special characteristics or parameterized with red import channel. That cost reduction is essential to make exportation companies competitive for the international market. Those companies will also count with an additional advantage: the possibility to embark smaller lots, because if the company is unable to complete the capacity of a container, their cargo can go to REDEX where it will be added with cargo from other companies to fill the container. Consolidation is developed by the Suzanlog cargo agency department.

Multimodal Transport is characterized by using two or more transportation modals (sea, road, air and rail) in a single logistics solution. When reasonably used, Intermodality can reduce logistics costs.
Since containers can be easily transferred from a modal to another, the result is optimization in cargo shifting and the reduction of accident and liability risks. We have a OTM certification supplied by the Transportation National Agency – ANTT. Therefore OTM is responsible for each transportation stage, from cargo collecting, to bureaucratic processes, between cargo transportation and delivery. This way you pay a single freight and reduce your costs. You will experience a more practical and fast process with eventuality reduction and will be able to demand from the OTM all the obligations concerning transportation. The advantage with Multimodal Transportation lies in the efficient combination of multiple means of transportation, optimizing deadlines and reducing storage costs, keeping cargo costs under control. This combination also results in environment sustainability since it reduces the environmental impacts. But even though it counts with the support of environmentalists and cargo transportation specialists, intermodality can induce to certain costs from using modal interface such as handling and transhipment. However you can hire a transportation company that handles the interface between the different modals without involving the importer or exporter. To more complexes shipments or a complete exploration between the quality and the cost to every part of the transport, multimodality is a good option and sometimes the only option to be considered, particularly from or to countries that have no seashore frontier.

We have EDI link with the merchant navy securing the correct information transmission.
Maritime cargo transportation is divided into two categories, FCL (full container load) and LCL (less than container load). FCL is indicated in cases where the exporter has enough cargo to fill a container and LCL for when the exporter does not have enough cargo and sharing a container with other exporters may be a valuable solution. FCL and LCL cargo shipping provided by Suzanlog guarantees a liable safe and economic door to door transportation globally. We have a large range of equipment to offer custom made solutions to every type of commodity. The biggest advantage of this type of transportation is that the total freight cost is reduced, once rates are divided between all the exporters, since each of them pay only for the space they occupied. On the other hand, the Logistics Operators, as well as the transportation companies, save not only space but also in the number of trips they’ll do, employee payment, bureaucratic and bookkeeping expenses and gain a lot on productivity.
Concentrating cargo and lots in pattern following units facilitates not only transportation but also control and movement. Machine, equipment and all the infrastructure involved in the process can follow a same pattern, which makes processes cheaper and reduce other logistics costs.
