Artikore connects production to delivery on a single T&A calendar and manages freight and customs so shipments clear on time and at planned cost. It selects lanes and modes, books space, and coordinates cargo readiness with factories; standardizes documentation, and aligns Incoterms and handoff points with partners.
Consolidation, cartonization, and labeling rules are enforced to reduce damage and fees, while live tracking, ETA variance alerts, and exception management keep stakeholders aligned.
Brokers, 3PLs, and warehouses operate against clear service levels, with demurrage/detention risk managed through early filings and buffer strategies. The outcome is predictable lead times, transparent landed costs, and fewer last-mile surprises.
