Monitoring production status and compliance
LNCI Logistics monitors production and compliance statuses against pre-defined trip plans. We also recognize that every industry is unique. Raw materials receipts and documented sources of raw materials are critical for some, while first run quality, timeline quantities and final Quality Control (QC) inspection certificates are important to others.
Our global network and technological solutions enable you to obtain direct status updates before products depart the factory. We monitor quantities, timelines and quality before your customer spots incorrect labeling or sub-standard products. This successfully reduces costly re-work at destination or return
- Delivery of operational requirements
- Continuous improvement
- Provision of SOP’s and training material

Consolidation:
Consolidation services from LNCI open up the benefits of purchasing smaller quantities from a variety of vendors
Consolidation is more than simply filling up a container. It allows a buyer to procure a variety of products from a multitude of vendors without losing operational efficiency in the shipment process.
While sourcing from several vendors makes good economic sense, the complexities arise when attempting to balance production runs against full container quantities and sales forecasts. Overstocking just to qualify for full container discounts is no longer necessary. Our consolidation services allow the purchase of exact product amounts required to meet sales forecasts in the most economical way.
LNCI will combine your goods from multiple vendors into one shipment. Acting as your single point of contact, we help eliminate lost economies of scale, management costs and extra customs requirements.
Captured under a single platform, a pipeline of information from all suppliers can be efficiently monitored. As the eyes and ears next to the production source, we verify everything from transposed Purchase Order (PO) numbers to inferior carton quality. When we know it, you know it.
