Overview

Integrating Supply Chain Management with your Business Process

OOCL Logistics focuses on the total logistics process, striving to integrate all aspects of physical cargo movement, vendor and document management, information flow and visibility. OOCL Logistics begins this process-focused methodology by choosing transportation modes, ports and carriers that will optimize all aspects of your supply chain – the ultimate goal being the reduction of operating costs and transit times. Our services provide:

During the “shipment lifecycle” of your cargo, we manage all physical cargo movements to help reduce shipment cycle time and improve cycle consistency. This enables you to reduce your inventory, creating in a positive impact to your bottom line as a result of reduced inventory carrying costs (interest, product loss or damage and warehousing).

Unparalleled Global Shipment and Inventory Visibility and Control
OOCL Logistics introduces MyPodium; our latest cutting-edge Internet-based supply chain management IT tool. User friendly and user-level customizable, MyPodium will enable you to manage your supply chain by exception, to track-and-trace shipments, receive and manage documents and control global inventory.

Product flow and shipment lifecycle will be more immediately apparent; regularly scheduled reports will proactively reveal areas of opportunity, creating an opportunity for flexible adjustments to allow you to manage products to the right place at the right time.

MyPodium has been developed as a module-based International Supply Chain Management IT platform with the flexibility to meet the needs of diverse industry verticals and the advanced technology to keep pace with ever-changing supply chain demands.

You can use MyPodium as a stand-alone product to manage and track and trace purchase orders and shipments; or combine MyPodium with any of our other Podium family systems of integrated supply chain solutions, to further enhance visibility and control of your product flow. If you desire, any of the modules can be used independently of the MyPodium purchase order and shipment tracking functions. The MyPodium suite includes:

From purchase order negotiation, vendor management and global inventory management to high-volume corporation-wide document storage and retrieval, OOCL logistics information technology provides you with the power, freedom and information to take maximum advantage of cost and time-saving opportunities in your supply chain.

Vendor Training / Compliance and Origin Product Management and Quality Assurance

Vendor Training, Management and Compliance
To ensure compliance with your shipment processing requirements, OOCL Logistics provides a complete vendor education and management program. Experienced OOCL Logistics representatives specifically assigned to a customer’s business, work directly with key vendors providing instructions to ensure a smooth and comfortable transition to OOCL Logistics services and continued assurance that guidelines and requirements - as stipulated in each client’s operating procedures - are followed in each and every shipment.

Acting as the customer’s representative, OOCL Logistics can then monitor and report on vendor compliance. OOCL Logistics provides information on delivery discrepancies against the client’s operating procedure, and will tailor business intelligence to meet your needs; measuring performance indicators involving vendors, warehouses, carriers and OOCL Logistics.

Origin Product Management and Quality Assurance
OOCL Logistics provides a number of innovative inventory services designed to reduce costs, and improve cargo loadability and security – all value adding functions. Our services are conducted in our modern consolidation and warehouse facilities to meet the specific inventory preparation and management needs of each customer.

OOCL Logistics' global modern facilities can serve as quality control sites for package and shipment content inspection. Depending upon each customer’s needs and specifications, OOCL Logistics representatives, working in clean, secure facility areas, can inspect incoming cartons, as well as the merchandise they contain, for defects, damage, soiling, or other conditions that would make them unacceptable for further movement within the distribution pipeline.

These services, as well as others we can design, enable OOCL Logistics' customers to take advantage of our proximity to the supplier sources of shipments and ensure that the cargo entering the system is in acceptable condition and prepared to move smoothly through the supply chain.

OOCL Logistics also works with global quality partners to provide comprehensive inspection services. We tailor-make inspection and quality assurance programs to address the individual needs and logistics constraints of every customer - the goal being a “one-stop” quality assurance solution.
