Challenge
Plastic resin is a low-margin commodity and highly sensitive to logistics cost. The client had volume split across multiple forwarders, creating unstable timing, opaque pricing, and frequent destination-side extra charges.
Solution
We consolidated the annual volume, improved the carrier buying position, optimized loading patterns, and locked annual pricing to reduce both cost leakage and volatility.
Outcome
Total door-to-door cost dropped by 18% per container, annual savings exceeded RMB 800,000, and the average transit cycle improved from 25 days to 19 days.
“After consolidating the volume with Yifei, pricing became clearer and the management burden dropped sharply.”
