FASHION AND LOGISTICS– WHAT DO THEY HAVE IN COMMON?
In the fashion business, the main thing is to catch the trend. In other words, you need to find the trend that is just beginning to gain popularity. This difficult task is quite justified: it allows you to win your consumer and bypass competitors.
MTL is a new type of foreign economic operator. We build our work on the cutting-edge business trends so that you can become the first in your field.
TREND 1. SPEED
Fashion is an area in which time is of great importance. Production and sales planning is tied to seasons, collections, exhibitions. If you purchase raw materials, materials or finished goods abroad, delays in deliveries can unsettle planned sales and lead to losses.
We use simplified customs clearance procedures that allow us to first receive the goods in the warehouse and launch it into production or sale, and only then go through the customs clearance procedure.
In order for the goods not to wait for accounting operations, which are impossible without closing documents, we set up electronic document management systems (EDI) for our customers. Thanks to this, the documents are instantly available to the accountant.
For additional convenience, we can configure the reception of documents in the EDO so that the data from them are automatically distributed to the necessary specialists and registered in the client's accounting system.
TREND 2. OUTSOURCING
Effective business management is possible only if you focus on its main direction.If you want to get a high-quality result in a non-core direction for your business, give it to those whose main profile it is.
Job profile MTL – international supply management. We do not have our own warehouses, vehicles, containers. Our advantage is the experience and knowledge in managing a pool of suppliers, with whom we have already tested and know exactly which of them and for what purpose it is better to use.We do not seek to load our production facilities, our priority is to provide optimal solutions for your delivery.
You no longer need to independently monitor the execution of the delivery, request information, solve problems. You focus on the development of your business, and we take care of all foreign trade issues.Your personal manager organizes the delivery process, draws up a checklist of documentation, helps not to forget about upcoming payments and necessary documents with the help of a checklist and a triple information system.
TREND 3. BUILT PROCESSES
Business process management is one of the main elements of a modern company's management system.
The built-up processes provide the business with a stable achievement of the desired result.
We implement a process approach in all directions when working with contractors, employees, clients.
The accuracy and clarity of our employees' work is ensured by the well-organized production processes and the system of automated reminders ToDo.
Work with contractors is governed by the regulated conditions described in the SLA (Service Level Agreement).
Work with the client is also regulated. The movement of payments and documents is regulated by the tracking system. This helps the participants of the process not to deviate from the set course.
TREND 4. RAPID CHANGE OF THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The conditions in which Russian entrepreneurs work cannot be called simple. Complexity is often caused by the unpredictability of the external environment; adjustment, additional resources and changes in the working conditions of companies are constantly required.
We monitor the constantly emerging business needs in the field of fashion. And we form a pool of additional services:marking, certification with import of samples, confirmation of customs value.
Legislation and business needs change very quickly. Our project team develops new solutions and then launches new products.We will develop and implement the necessary solutions for your company and find performers in any field.
TREND 5. DIGITALIZATION
We meet the transition to digital technologies at every step - it's enough to leave the house and go to the clinic, bank, store. In business, digitalization not only simplifies life and reduces labor costs. The main thing is that it makes it possible to get rid of risks and not repeat mistakes already made.
Digitized supply data with proper processing is a real wealth.We collect data about errors made by the sender of the goods and transmit it to the client in order to minimize the risk of repetition.
We keep records of the client's nomenclature and permits for the goods. We collect experience and precedents of customs clearance, which help to minimize the client's costs for certificates and declarations, and make the most of existing ones.
Each company has its own reporting rules. We provide reports in the slices and formats you need almost instantly.
TREND 6. PERSONALIZATION
With the development of technology, the amount of open data that can be freely obtained about a potential client has become off the scale. In order to gain the consumer's trust, it is required to form an offer not to a wide range of people, but to specific persons, mini-communities, groups.
There are more and more companies focused on an honest approach to business. They disclose production and sales data in order to become closer and clearer to the customer.
Our price offer for fashion companies is focused on the specifics of this business. For example, we know that a wide list of commodity nomenclature means additional sheets to the customs declaration. Therefore, up to 100 additional lists are already included in our tariffs.
Our commercial offer describes in detail the stages of the route, payments and customs payments, which will not change during or after delivery. Possible additional costs are also immediately assessed. You get the calculation in the delivery currency, so you can quickly calculate the cost.
