Gain more control with buyer's consolidation services

Buyer’s Consolidation (BCN) provides a solution for customers who use multiple suppliers or have multiple manufacturers to ship to a singular destination while reducing freight costs and streamlining the process. By grouping these different suppliers and manufacturers’ shipments onto a single, dedicated Full-Container Load (FCL) container before shipping, the customer enjoys a more efficient and streamlined supply chain.

Buyer’s Consolidation offers full control and visibility

The Buyer’s Consolidation method of shipping combines the benefits of both Less-than-Container Load (LCL) and FCL shipping. We collect and consolidate your goods from the multiple sources at origin to our own Container Freight Station (CFS), palletising and loading onto a full container dedicated to your cargo. This ensures that your goods remain entirely within your control and visibility, without you having to wait for a particular supplier to ship enough goods to make an FCL.

Additionally, we can ensure optimal utilisation and higher security with an entire container dedicated to your cargo.

Our global network operates CFS in key markets, strategically located near major manufacturing hubs in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Oceania and India. For customers who have suppliers across multiple countries, we also have extensive capabilities to provide Multi-Country Consolidation (MCC) and offer the same benefits of BCN.

There are many benefits of shipping with a world-class BCN service provider such as TVS SCS. We manage the local pickup from your suppliers at origin, and have capabilities across all modes at origin, in-transit and at destination. By helping you ship with BCN, we not only reduce the risk of damage by consolidating multiple LCL shipments, but it is also more cost-effective.

Comprehensive ocean solutions

Our other ocean capabilities include Vessel Charter, Breakbulk Solutions and Intermodal and Multimodal Solutions. We offer flexible service for all types of container equipment, including dry-box, open top, flat rack, reefer (refrigerated), Flexitank and Isotank.

    FAQs

    To offer our customers competitive pricing and efficient freight forwarding, we group several smaller consignments (deliveries) from different suppliers into a larger consignment. Not only does it create efficiency in space utilisation, but it also gives us the ability to leverage much better pricing from the carriers on behalf of our customers.

    We have 45 dedicated freight forwarding offices in 15 countries and work with trusted and reliable agents across the world to deliver global freight forwarding capabilities.
