Logistics and shipping coordination for buyers sourcing from India
Logistics and shipping coordination moves your goods from the factory to the port or airport in India, using the transport mode that suits your order. We coordinate the manufacturer, transporter and freight forwarder, and keep you informed until dispatch. Sufi World Exports, a sourcing and export partner for international buyers, based in Indore, India, handles the coordination.
What is Logistics & Shipping Coordination?
Getting goods from the factory gate to the port or airport takes coordination: transport bookings, loading, documents and timing. Logistics and shipping coordination brings these together, so the manufacturer, transporter and forwarder work to one plan.
You choose the mode that suits your order, and we advise on the options.
In short
- Transport planned with your order
