Indonesian brands lose millions to unpredictable shipping

Complex archipelago logistics create cash flow constraints, hidden costs, and delivery delays that impact your bottom line and customer satisfaction.

Opaque & Unpredictable Shipping Costs

Complex destination-based rate cards with hidden fees make budgeting nearly impossible, resulting in lost margins and inability to offer competitive pricing across 17,000 islands.

Cash Flow Trapped for 60+ Days

Traditional distributor payment terms tie up crucial working capital, creating financial risk and limiting resources for product development and marketing initiatives.

Customer Expectations vs. Reality

Customers demand fast, free shipping while platforms absorb some costs. The remainder impacts profitability, forcing you to sacrifice margins or lose sales.

Multi-Channel Operational Complexity

Managing B2B/B2C channels across disparate carriers creates inefficiencies, manual workload, higher error rates, and slower speed to market.

Smart FOB positioning reduces delivery times 40-70%

Our Forward Operating Base model strategically pre-positions your products in regional sorting centers closer to end customers, transforming distribution challenges into competitive advantages.
