Navigating Trade Routes: The Advantages of Multimodal Transport

Understanding Multimodal Transport

Wendao appreciates the difficulties involved in international trade. Therefore, we focus on what is referred to as multimodal transport. It is more of a logistics approach where different forms of transportation are used at different points along the supply chain. This method also increases delivery speed as well as reliability, and at the same time reduces costs and has a positive environmental impact.

Multimodal Transportation and its Role in Improving Supply Chain Efficiency

With the use of a combination of air, sea, and land transport, it is possible to considerably reduce delivery times. There are times, however, when it is impossible to maintain a consistent CTOT, and in such instances, we can easily work with the weather or mid-day traffic. All in all, there is minimal disruption to the supply chain which means your goods reach their destination on time.

Comparative Cost of Different Modes and Distance of Shipment – Intermodal Transport

Multimodal movement acquires substantial cost benefits. If we use the mode of transport which is the least expensive for each section of the journey, there are overall savings in transport costs when the combined result and quality of service are acceptable. This method is most helpful for long-distance shipments since combining modes of transport can yield significant savings based on overall dollars spent per mode.

Going Green 

Wendao has a complete dedication to maintaining environmental sustainability. A very effective way of optimizing the supply chain which reduces emissions is adopting the multimodal approach of transport which uses the shortest and the most efficient haul. We help ensure that the world becomes cleaner by providing the best modes of transport at every touch point while working towards providing the best customer service experience.

Cost Influencer 

All modes of transport have their own advantages and disadvantages which have to be considered when moving goods from one location to the other. A very promising answer to shifting supply chain demands is adopting the multimodal approach which allows flexibility in times of increasing shortages and inflation. This allows us to switch from one mode of transport to another depending on the changes in demand patterns and requirements.
