 DEVELOPING

To be able to talk about transportation costs, you have to be updated throughout the commercial and

international field.

Hence, the main thing that must be taken into account, is that our points of factories and our wholesale

storage, is as close as possible to our ports of embarkation or free trade zones.

With this, we can reduce freight costs and other expenses that can be general, by moving our merchandise

to the point of embarkation or dispatch for our final destination, the client.

The main points that must be taken into account for in our negotiations are the following:

From the location of our company to dispatch the product to the subcontracting of third parties to

produce, transport and deliver the final product to the satisfaction of the client, with the specifications and 2
in the time that it requires, especially looking at beneficial cost and

saving of investment to be able to obtain the qualification of a client that in turn helps us to open more

market and to be able to expand to a future, which is one of our main objectives in the field of

international negotiations.

2. The use of technology with the innovation of a better product, using new packaging designs, to reduce

its volume and weight and to increase the destiny of shipment.

Hence, many products are already dry, pulverized, dehydrated, in order to be vacuum packed and in

plastic packaging, where the weight is reduced, for which a high freight cost is paid, for which already

We see products that their packaging is more flexible and less heavy.

The packing of the same has been able to demonstrate that nowadays reusable material is being used and

materials such as wooden boxes, cardboard wrappers etc. are avoided. This also helps reduce

transportation costs.

3- According to the principle of lean, are based on the delivery just in time, sent small, faster and

frequently using a single fleet dedicated to this type of transport, this is how the current competition

between the transports, we can find a transport more cheap and with the same guarantees offered by

others in the market.

That is why within the supply chain is seen an impact on better transportation at lower prices and the

shipment of larger loads increases the costs of shipments and inventories and the transit time is longer, for

the transit inventory and security.

Finally, the financial impact is reduced in the cost of freight and thus more income is obtained in favor

and better control of inventories.
