Retail Fitment at Your Fingertips
It’s estimated that supply chain disruptions cost organizations around the globe an average of $184 million per year.
Retail fitment is a global business with the most popular fitments, including point-of-sale displays, fixtures, and furniture. Yet, smooth and timely delivery for brands and retailers around the world is a tall order – especially when multiple destinations are involved.
Our client, a global retail innovation agency specializing in enhanced customer experience, needed help to quickly assist a massive player in the tech industry with digital displays in their retail outlets.
They needed the same shipment of displays to be rolled out to more than 14 destinations around the world for their in-store launch.
The Challenge
The client reached out for help with a global cross-border rollout of uniform digital displays into multiple destinations. They were worried about several facets of the rollout, from customs requirements to permits and certifications for the actual display equipment.
They also had heightened concerns about key destinations’ notoriously difficult customs processes causing time delays and ultimately failing to meet their global launch date.
Outside of the logistical requirements for the shipment, the global rollout concerns were twofold. The first related to the dual-use nature of products being shipped – as they are heavily restricted for import in many countries.
The second concern referred to time pressure in anticipation of a global launch. The client was unable to pinpoint a time estimate for the compliance document sourcing and customs clearance which was weighing heavily on the project and threatened to derail their launch.
In the destination countries, all shipments would also require an Importer of Record (IOR) as there was no local presence in any of the destination regions. They were also notified that some of the countries of exit would require an Exporter of Record (EOR) and would also need to export within customs compliance parameters.
The Solution
By taking care of the IOR, EOR, compliance, and customs details – TecEx removed the concern of supply chain interruptions and lagging timelines.
Our compliance knowledge of multiple, often complex, destinations allowed us to advise and easily communicate with the client to source the correct import and export documents and permits for controlled items.
Moreover, we could accurately predict delivery timelines and predetermine the required customs duties and taxes.
By offering project management services, we could quickly manage all the shipments from start to finish, no matter the complexities – addressing the clients’ major concerns with our bespoke offering.
The Outcome
With the help of TecEx, the client was able to meet the time constraints and avoid costly mistakes or miscalculations. We could support our clients quickly and efficiently, meeting their global launch date without incident.
Ultimately our solution offered the client peace of mind from the start to the very end of the project.
