CUSTOMS
BROKERAGE
The fast moving supply chain in this day and age leaves very little
margin for error as businesses cannot afford to have shipments
delayed at border crossings or ports of entry unnecessarily.
Resultant costs in delays allow market leaders to considerably
decrease their bottom line profit margins, B .I. J employs
experienced staff that is capable of avoiding the above scenario,
ensuring that the best possible solutions are sought to keep the
goods in motion throughout the supply chain. Pre-clearance is an
added advantage for airfreight of commodities.
TRANSPORTATION
With rapid advancement in technology, customers can check real time
status of the movement of their cargo as a result of many major air
and sea carriers providing track and trace facilities via access
through their websites. B.I.J will advise on the various websites
for perusal and are in daily contact with the tracking divisions of
the major carriers. B.I.J would provide an updated status report on
the movement of the customers’ cargo on a daily basis from time of
receipt of order to final delivery of order. By means of a
customized form that will be updated on a regular basis detailing
normal clearing and forwarding activity to cases of irregularities,
the above is made possible.

haulage of break-bulk and containerized and specialized cargo via a

CUSTOMIZED
LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS
The importance of customized logistics solutions for each
individual customer will undoubtedly separate the traditional
freight forwarder from the specialist forwarder. The specialist
forwarder will thus be able to provide a solution (implemented,
initiated and controlled) after intensively discussing and
understanding the customers’ requirements. The result is that
operations, administration and other key supply chain related
functions are made much easier. B.I.J will devise a database
customized to the customers’ requirements that will entail all the
required information, but will also be constantly updated and
submitted via electronic mail to the customer. These emailed forms
and reports can be retrieved and amended and forwarded to the
sender who will then automatically update the database. Information
technology will thus serve an important function in the logistics
chain.
