Globalia Hanoi increases its cross-border cargo services due to the expansion of Laos market

Posted on | by admin

They have been offering this bi-weekly overseas cargo service for over two years

TNM Shipping and Logistics - Globalia Hanoi

TNM Shipping and Logistics Co Ltd, Globalia member in Hanoi, Vietnam, has experienced an important expansion of their cross-border cargo services thanks to the growth of the Laos market.

“We started transporting regular shipments of commodities like sunflower oil, new machinery, garment, non-DG chemicals, etc. However, we soon extended our services to certain categories of special cargo like DG, oversized and overweight shipments, used personal effects, and electronic household appliances”, states Mrs Vi Bui, Commercial Director of TNM Shipping and Logistics Co Ltd.

Now, they are doing Cross Border delivering services from Hanoi to Cambodia, China, Laos, etc. The factors that set them apart from the competition are their economical pricing and faster transport time. Additionally, according to Mrs Vi, this service is allowing them to “exploit the potential customers in Laos market for both import/export, which can help to further promote the trustworthiness of our overseas transportation department.”

However, in order to gain experience and reach the volume of business they manage now, they have had to face some difficult challenges. For instance, in order to expedite the smooth movement of cargo, they needed to study and update the customs regulations of Laos and regularly check all the rules to avoid trouble.

Mrs Vi adds, “There are special categories that have been prohibited to be moved via Vietnam port such as used machines, wine, beer cigarettes etc. Therefore, apart from checking the customs regulations in both Vietnam and Laos, we also need to review the export/import license of our customers in Laos.”

Congratulations to Globalia Hanoi and all the best for their upcoming projects!

They developed this software to meet the requirements of an online leisure retailer client, thanks to which they have scaled up their business. Moreover, this commendable achievement has got them featured in the BIFAlink Magazine. The BIFAlink magazine is a monthly publication issued by the British International Freight Association

Their next step is to broaden the utilities of KM Insight and are working on the development of new features. “We want to make the system more customizable so that it becomes a perfect fit with no effort on the part of the client,” says the Managing Director of Killick Martin Paul Gallagher.

Mr Gallagher sees digitization as the next big leap for the logistics sector. He feels that there is a pressing need for people with knowledge of traditional logistics who can be at the forefront of digital transformation. “With experienced, people and good systems you can do a lot and that is inspiring,” he said, adding that, “you have to ask yourself what a development means for the person doing the job and for their customers, which is who we are ultimately serving.”

The new software that just requires 15 minutes to set up, allows the customers to control their supply chain. Furthermore, it allows their clients to slow down or speed up their cargo depending on their sales. Most importantly, it helps their customers to cut down on expenses, enhance stock management, and boost supply chain resiliency.

Congratulations to Killick Martin & Co and best of luck with their new endeavours!
