Packing & readiness follow-up
Clarify the agreed packing requirements, quantities, markings and goods-ready date with the supplier.
Management / Shipment
Close the gap between goods ready and shipment ready.
Finished goods still need the right packing, documents and handover arrangements. EPIC coordinates these final project details with your supplier and logistics partners so that open points are visible before dispatch.
What the work involves
A shipment handover needs its own preparation.
Document inconsistencies and unclear responsibilities can interrupt a delivery after production is complete. We review the agreed handover requirements with the parties involved and follow the practical actions needed to prepare the shipment.
Commercial document review
Review the agreed invoice, packing list and related order documents for consistency with the project information available.
Partner coordination
Coordinate information and handover timing between the supplier, your team and the relevant freight or logistics partners.
Shipping issue follow-up
Identify missing information, unresolved document points and changes to the agreed handover. Escalate decisions that affect timing or responsibility.
A defined scope. Tangible outputs.
What you can work with.
Useful when production is finishing, several parties need to coordinate an export shipment, or commercial documents and handover responsibilities need clarification.
The deliverables below are examples. Your proposal defines the scope, responsibilities and outputs for your project.
- A shipment readiness and document checklist
- A record of document questions and corrections requested
- A handover plan with relevant responsibilities identified
- A clear list of outstanding points before dispatch
Before we begin
Questions worth asking.
Are you the freight forwarder or customs broker?
EPIC’s service is project and logistics coordination. Freight forwarding, customs declarations, insurance and other specialist services are provided by the relevant partners and must be defined in the shipment arrangements.
Can you work with our existing forwarder?
Yes. Coordination can take place with your nominated logistics partners, subject to the information, scope and responsibilities agreed for the project.
Do you determine the import requirements in our country?
Destination requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate importer, broker or specialist. EPIC can coordinate the supplier information and documents required within the agreed project scope.
