In today’s global market, businesses are constantly seeking ways to optimize their supply chain operations and enhance efficiency while reducing costs. One innovative solution that has gained prominence is Multi-Country Consolidation (MCC) services.
EFL Global’s Multi-Country Consolidation (MCC) is a cost-effective solution, used to consolidate shipments from different countries into larger volumes. By consolidating shipments and optimizing transportation routes, MCC services provide our customers with better flexibility and control to ship goods worldwide, and at the best rates. Additionally, Multi-Country Consolidation is pivotal for promoting environmental sustainability, lowering carbon emissions, and mitigating the ecological impact of logistics.
Our MCC services offer significant benefits to customers shipping from multiple origins, specifically those looking to ship throughout Central America. Clients benefit from advantages such as economies of scale, reduced transportation costs per unit, improved container utilization and streamlined inventory management. MCC is most suitable for companies that import light volumes of goods from multiple countries but want to take advantage of the more economic FCL freight rates. While FCL offers cost advantages, MCC also grants clients greater control over container space and utilization. By improving container utilization, businesses can further enhance cost savings, decrease shipping and fuel expenses, and reduce the frequency of shipments.
“EFL Global’s MCC solution allows customers to save on ocean freight costs by reducing the number of individual LCL shipments through consolidation and better utilized containers. Better consolidation allows shippers to streamline their delivery process, reduce costs, and reduce their environmental impact. Our solution also provides opportunities to open new sourcing options, allowing customers to choose from a wider range of origin facilities,” said Erika Babcock, Sr. Director, Order Management, EFL Global.
Apart from cost savings, our MCC solution empowers businesses to explore new sourcing options. With offices and facilities spanning from Mexico to Panama, EFL Global’s MCC solution in Latin America mitigates risk associated with supply chain disruptions, customs delays, and transportation challenges.
