HCI DEVELOPED ONE OF THE FIRST "straight-through" logistics systems in Mexico, saving our Clients significant costs and transit time and virtually eliminating theft and handling damage. We’ve helped many customers reduce costs and overhead without affecting performance. Let HCI apply this same level of initiative and problem solving ability to your export challenges.
HANDLING
YOUR
LOGISTICS
CHALLENGES
is one of the capabilities that sets HCI’s export consultant services
apart from other consultants. Our experience running our own exporting
operations as well as those of our clients translates into increased
profits and decreased headaches for you.
For example, in work for Aramco (the world’s largest oil company), Henderson Chemicals (now HCI) developed and implemented systems of checks and controls that largely compensated for human error and substantially increased reliability. Our order return rate was below .007%, and on time deliveries were better than 95% versus the 60% industry norm.
LET
HCI’S
EXPERTISE
as an export consultant work for you in the following areas:
- Cost Cutting and Supply Chain Streamlining - Competing
in today’s global markets means streamlining your international
Supply Chain. HCI will analyze and streamline your supply chain
to take advantage of the powerful forces of global sourcing and
the new power of supply chain analytical tools; we can probably
cut your Supply Chain costs 10%-25% and increase your gross margin
by 30% to 100%. Let us tell you how. We have 25 years expertise
in performing these tasks and its experience has developed from
the ground up, so we know what we're talking about. At HCI, cost
cutting is not an academic exercise but a practical application.
- Cargo Management includes how you package, warehouse
and ship your export products, as well as generating documentation
and paperwork to track it. HCI’s logistics systems help you navigate
the many available shipping options to maximize timely deliveries
and minimize theft, loss and breakage.
- Minimizing Tariff Barriers is often the difference between
profit and loss in exporting. HCI finds the best points of entry
and the most effective ways to ship and document a product to
maximize your profits.
- International Documentation can be an expensive nuisance
for clients not familiar with exporting. Our Export Launch Program
includes all the necessary marketing, legal and operational documents
needed for your venture. Our clients routinely realize a considerable
savings in legal fees by using HCI’s documentation.
- Simplification - HCI will create and simplify all the
up-to-date shipping and logistics documentation required, in hard
copy forms and in PC or Mac format. We systematically eliminate
potential problem sources, then create simplified shipping checklists
and procedures for your internal use.
- Crisis and Risk Management - HCI is always on call
to help you deal with theft, disturbances, storms and other logistics
and operational problems including Y2K compliance problems
should they occur.
