Commitment to Detail
At KRL, your peace of mind is our priority. Our commitment to detail means you can trust us with your most valuable shipments, knowing they are in capable hands. From specialized packing to navigating complex regulations, we handle every aspect of the shipping process with meticulous care.
Warehousing
At KRL, our warehousing facilities are an ideal solution for resolving budgeting constraints and meet supply chain needs. Imported cargo can be stored at our custom bonded facilities awaiting a time when the importer can meet duties and VAT. Those importing time-sensitive cargo like perishable items can take advantage of the CFSP services to expedite clearance. We offer a flexible service that meets the demands of our clients, no matter the situation.
Our amply sized facilities are ideal for supporting the supply chain demands of multiple organisations. From raw materials need for manufacturing to the finished product that requires delivery to end-user customers, KRL will work with you to ensure optimal decision making. KRL takes the time to understand your business needs and works out a customised plan that will see you able to better control costs and achieve customer expectations.
Our warehouses can become an extension of your own operations, supplying materials delivered from various destinations to your facilities, as and when needed. Our REDS online portal provides high visibility of all your inventories, further enhancing the quality and timeliness of decisions. We have heavily invested in IT to ensure the best service delivery and fastest response to client demands.
Packing Services
Shipments need to be appropriately packed to ensure safe delivery and facilitate suitable loading and offloading procedures. Where the client may lack the capability, we can fill the gap through our customised packing services. KRL has over 30 years of experience building tailor-made timber and plywood cases. They are made to specific dimensions that properly encase shipments. We have worked with multiple businesses to meet exacting requirements including:
- Household effects
- Computer systems
- Telecom equipment
- Vintage cars and motorcycles
We are fully licensed by the Forestry Commission to work with such materials. We offer our clients the option of having these constructions done at their facility or our workshop. On-site packing is recommended to minimise the risk of damage during transfer to our facility. It is also more cost-effective, as once packed the shipment can move on directly to freight forwarding. Our crews are well-supervised to ensure quality work and will even upload pictures of the finished cases on to REDS. Each case is barcoded to help with tracking.
Supply Chain Support
For many companies, there is an ebb and flow to the completion of production and delivery of the finished product to end-users. There are multiple moving parts to each stage of processes, and careful management is required so that costs are kept controlled. With our support, many businesses get supply chain support that sees the flow of raw materials and finished products perfectly balanced to ensure production levels match up to ongoing demand. It also supports quality control measures and facilitates distribution.
At KRL we are accustomed to generating this careful calibration that offers our clients the benefit of inventory storage, budgeting, and purchase order fulfilments. Our pick and pack services further complement this effort for businesses that cater to small international orders. Rather than have the order fulfilled from the factory, we make use of inventories at our warehouse to package the items and ship them forward to buyers.
Our multimodal services help facilitate this service by providing an efficient means of conveying consignments anywhere around the world. Our dedicated shipping departments are experienced at making arrangements for varied types of consignments to thousands of locations around the world. Their adaptability to whatever situation makes KRL your ideal partner whether the cargo is time-sensitive or routine.
