Optimizing Cross-Border Transportation

Cost and lead time reductions

25%Lower transportation costs
50%Faster transit times
1Crossing instead of many

Previous Process | Fragmented cross-border flow

  1. Multiple suppliers dispersed across MexicoNo pooling point
  2. Individual partial loadsHigher transportation costs
  3. Multiple crossings and clearancesMore clearance, transfer and handling fees
  4. Multiple LTL deliveries to US West Coast

Objective: Reduce cost and improve delivery performance across fragmented supplier moves.

Consolidated Process | Single cross-border move

  1. Multiple Mexico suppliers
  2. Consolidation and clearance at GDL Customs warehouse
  3. Single crossing
  4. Client forwarder
  5. Deliveries to 3 US West Coast points

Approach

Supplier Freight Consolidation

Shipments from multiple Mexico suppliers were combined at a consolidation hub to maximize equipment utilization before crossing.

Adaptive Network Design

Routing and load plans were continuously optimized to balance changing shipment volumes across the network.

Business Impact

  • Lowered transportation costs by 25%
  • Faster transit times by 50%
  • Improved shipment consolidation
  • Scalable model that maintained efficiency even during changing market conditions
