BackDeconsolidation
Deconsolidation is the opposite of consolidation.
Typically, deconsolidation involves separating one shipment into several smaller shipments and processing those shipments for final delivery from a port of entry directly to a store or distribution center.
A consolidated freight shipment needs to be broken down into smaller packages at destination so it can be delivered to its final destination since one shipper's cargo shares container space with other shipper's cargo.
When to consider deconsolidation
Deconsolidating shipments is an ideal solution for manufacturers that need to reach the market faster. It is also ideal for companies who have freight going to various locations. Furthermore, deconsolidation permits easy off-loading of imported goods from inbound trucks, which can lead to faster redistribution.
The process also contributes to better inventory management and quicker speed to market.
Benefits of deconsolidation:
- Allows them to manage imported merchandise just in time
- Eliminate excess inventory
- Reduces re-handling time
- Reduces point-of-distribution points
