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:

2
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 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 desity 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
3
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.
