Through our co-operation with renowned international garment enterprises, HLS has established a complete garment logistics management system.

Industry features:
The garment industry has features such as quick product changes, small volumes, wide variety, high value of goods, and large differences in consumption patterns between regions. At the same time, it is often difficult to repack the products of the garment industry. Packaging costs are high and the packaging is easily damaged. The goods are also easy to lose and delivered in small batches, making it difficult to deliver such goods in a cost effective manner.

The business flow of the garment industry is complicated and detailed, and many logistics processes are needed. There are various kinds of warehouses: raw material warehouses, machine material warehouses, semi-finished product warehouses, finished product warehouses, etc. As products vary widely and warehouses usually have a large area, a huge number of inbound and outbound documents must be handled each day. Many garment businesses have to handle thousands of inventory units every day, and manage numerous styles, size, customer labels, and even more data.

SOP of garment logistics management:
To help to manage the logistics of the garment industry, HLS has set up warehousing and transportation management SOP, carrier management and evaluation system, and a complete goods tracking system to maintain smooth information exchanges with consignors, consignees, and transportation contractors. The SOP covers warehouse and inventory management, carrier KPI management, communication mechanisms with carrier and customers, in-transit tracking of goods, and goods receiving criteria, etc.

The system has precise product management, handling tens of thousands of products of different styles, colors, sizes, etc. The system can arrange goods picking works according to transportation plan, and packing into appropriate boxes to meet the customer’s requirements for allotting varieties into separate boxes, thereby saving packaging time. The trace and tracking function is able to track goods in-transit. Through online enquiries of goods, it is possible to know the status of order handling and processing in real time, thereby making sure that goods are delivered to customers on time and lowering the risk of good loss.
