Task
We were approached by the procurement manager of a network of dealerships and specialized auto repair centers servicing Chinese vehicles (Haval, Chery, Geely, Omoda) with the task of ensuring a regular, uninterrupted supply of various spare parts to Moscow and neighboring regions.
Problem
The auto repair network purchases components (bumpers, optics, filters, spark plugs, suspension parts) from 12 different specialized factories across China. Transporting each batch as a separate LCL shipment was excessively expensive. The second challenge was that part of the product range (e.g., spark plugs and certain types of filters) is subject to mandatory marking in the “Chestny ZNAK” system before crossing the Russian border.
TransGID Solution
We developed an end-to-end fulfillment scheme based at a transit warehouse in Shanghai. Over three weeks, we liaised with the factories, collected finished parts, and transported them to our terminal. There, we organized professional warehouse handling: heavy brake discs and suspension elements were palletized at the bottom, while fragile headlights, filters, and plastic parts were placed on top with secure fastening.
For goods requiring marking, our specialists printed DataMatrix codes directly in China and applied them to each individual package in strict compliance with Russian regulatory requirements. As a result, the entire consolidated batch from 12 suppliers filled exactly two 40-foot containers, which were dispatched as a single lot via accelerated rail service.
Result
The client saved approximately 20% of their logistics budget by consolidating cargo into full container loads (FCL) instead of shipping small batches (LCL). The goods arrived in Russia fully compliant, with correct “Chestny ZNAK” codes, and were immediately dispatched to marketplaces, store shelves, and service station warehouses.
