It goes without saying that all troubles are dealt with in a fast and efficient manner. What is more unique about our approach is that there is no need to respond, as there is no response needed in the first place.

Our support and account management personnel undergo training not just in freight, but in proactive communication and scenario forecasting. Before your cargo leaves the origin port, we have already checked:

• Risks particular to the route, such as strikes, holidays, or congestion.

• Compliance with customs documentation.

• Regulations regarding the local geography of the countries of the destination.

• The suitability of packaging in relation to temperature, fragility, or bulk.

• Contingency plans for high-risk transits or weather-related delays.

When we claim we manage your logistics, we truly mean the entire picture, which encompasses the movement, risks, documentation, and contingency plans.

Real Clients, Real Support

USA to India—Pharma Shipment on a Clock

A pharmaceutical client required temperature-sensitive cargo to be transported from Chicago to Hyderabad. There was an inbound hold at JFK because of a regulatory clearance needing explanation.

While other companies would struggle, our support team worked with the airline, customs clearance personnel, and our ground team in Hyderabad. Everything was put in place for temperature-regulated storage during the layover, expedited clearance for customs, and the client was updated every two hours.

Outcome? The shipment was on time, fully compliant, and temperature-sensitive contents were preserved with no losses.

Handled from Three Continents—Last Minute Exhibition in Dubai

A globally recognized company needed a complete overhaul of their exhibition materials just days before an exhibition in Dubai. The materials were situated in India, Germany, and the USA. The deadline? Three days.

Spedition’s team activated air freight from all three locations, coordinated delivery and set up in Dubai, local team assistance for delivery and setup, and consolidation. Throughout the process, the client was receiving real time updates with intercontinental sync calls.

Their response?
“We didn’t think it was possible. Spedition made it happen—and made it feel effortless.”
