When the trend moves faster than the vessel
Fashion cycles reward whoever gets to the shelf first. We blend air and ocean against the same program so speed is bought where it changes the outcome and saved where it does not.
Mode choice is a commercial decision, not a shipping one
What is in demand this week can be a markdown by the next. That makes the choice between air and ocean a commercial decision about margin, not a routing detail to settle at the end.
We price both modes against the same program, so you can put the initial drop in the air and the replenishment on the water without renegotiating the relationship each season.
Classification, duty exposure and documentation stay with our in-house brokerage team throughout, which keeps the compliance side from becoming the thing that delays the launch.
Typical fashion cargo we handle:
Air, ocean and the paperwork in between
The mix most fashion programs need, arranged so the fast option is available without being the default.
Consolidation
Retail consolidation and deconsolidation to order profile.
Know where it is, and what it cost
WorldScope aggregates and normalises data from multiple carriers into one system, so you can track shipments, manage documents and invoices, and report on shipping activity across every lane in one place rather than reconciling four portals.
