Challenge
A German company was purchasing goods from a supplier in China in small batches of 1–2 pallets. Limited working capital prevented the company from increasing its purchase volumes. As a result, high logistics costs increased the product cost and slowed business growth.
Solution
Almalana organized the purchase, international transportation and customs clearance. To increase the shipment volume, we also paid the supplier the outstanding portion of the purchase price, providing additional financing for the transaction.
Result
The company was able to double its purchase volume. More efficient logistics reduced the product cost, while the increased purchase volume improved the profitability of the business.
