Special Services

In an omni-channel world, some of the most effective solutions are those with the flexibility to minimise go to market efforts and consistently deliver to production lines, on time. Maersk’s new services are no different.

  • Re-packaging

    Whether it is for ease of handling or to increase ‘shelf appeal’, there are times when you need to create new display packaging for your product. And you can do this faster and cheaper if the repackaging design, from concept to placement on the retail floor, is a planned logistics process rather than a last-minute addition.

  • Labelling

    Barcode and RFID labels that are fully integrated with your supply chain systems and those of your customers, increase efficiency. Combined with streamlined processes, they enhance code verification processes while reducing the technical support you need and your label stock management costs.

  • Kitting

    Our Kitting services allow you to bundle precisely the components, tools and supplies that you need for a production or maintenance job, into packages. This helps optimise inventory based on the demand for parts, reduce purchase orders (one kit rather than 15 parts), lower stock levels and cut inventory costs.

Crossdocking and Transloading

These solutions enable you to transfer your cargo from shipping containers directly to outbound trailers and consolidate it with other freight, with little or no storage in-between. This eliminates the need for a Distribution Center at the port of entry, makes scheduling of labour more efficient, and reduces inland transport costs significantly.

  • Container drayage from port to cross-dock facility
  • Multiple container arrivals on the same day for de-vanning
  • Splitting of PO/SKUs based on your distribution allocation
  • Automatic sorting and straight in-out approach
  • Dispatch of trailers by road or rail to the inland DC
  • Domestic Advance Shipment Notifications
