Overview
A Gurgaon-based auto parts exporter, shipping 10-15 containers monthly to Detroit, faced significant challenges due to sporadic rail connectivity and long dwell times. These issues threatened their ability to meet vessel schedules and maintain cost efficiency. Through strategic intervention, we not only reduced transit time but also delivered substantial cost savings.
The Challenge
Sporadic Rail Connectivity:
The client's regular ICD (Garhi) faced inconsistent rail services, increasing the risk of vessel skips.Lengthy Dwell Time:
The total transit time from the factory to Mundra port, including formalities, was 7-8 days, making it difficult to target nearby vessels.Cost Inefficiency:
The delays and inefficiencies in routing added unnecessary inland costs to the client's operations.The Intoglo Solution
Intoglo analyzed multiple options and identified ICD Pali as a suitable option to move clients’ containers.
Why ICD Pali?:
ICD Pali offered twice the daily rail movement slots compared to ICD Garhi.Faster Transit and Cost Savings:
This new routing reduced dwell time from 7-8 days to just 4 days (factory to Mundra), ensuring faster transit and better vessel connectivity. The optimized routing helped the client save 10-15% on inland costs while improving operational efficiency.Enhanced rail services allowed the client to target nearby vessels with greater reliability and also save on shipping costs.
