A shared plan for separate suppliers
Joma Jewellery and Katie Loxton sourced from multiple suppliers in China for their UK and US operations. Hemisphere organised ocean consolidations around Chinese loading ports and provided progress updates using a tracking approach developed with the customer.
Aligning cargo readiness and export documents
One Ningbo consolidation brought together six shippers under different Incoterms for two 40-foot containers. The coordination challenge was aligning cargo readiness with complete export documentation.
A separate air consolidation, with a confirmed shipment
For a separate Katie Loxton air shipment, Hemisphere shipped goods from three shippers as one consignment and reported a lower overall cost for the customer. The published account does not quantify that saving.
Reviewing the wider programme
The wider relationship included seasonal reviews of what worked and what needed changing. This case illustrates how supplier coordination can span transport modes while keeping individual shipments and their outcomes distinct.
