“Safexpress also offers supply chain consulting services to its clients, by evaluating their existing supply chain system. Based on our expertise, our company helps in modifying their supply chain network and provides strategy to improve and automate their supply chains, thereby helping them in curtailing their costs by removal of excess inventories. Given the present economic slowdown, we have launched a special slowdown bailout package for Corporates to help them combat slowdown. As supply chain cost constitutes a major part of the cost structure of a company, by remodelling or modifying their existing supply chain networks, companies can minimize inventory related costs.

“This would help them enhance their operating efficiencies as well as help them achieve their profitability targets. A recent apparel retail study conducted by us pointed towards the fact that the apparel retail stores inside malls were unable to make best use of the available resources owing to the lack of a professional Supply Chain service. Therefore, we recently introduced a unique and innovative service known as 'Stock2Shelf' for the apparel retail stores inside malls across the country.

“This is the first of its kind 'End-to-end professional mall supply chain service' in the country for the apparel retail stores inside the malls and is all set to redefine the mall-space. This innovative end-to-end service addresses the supply chain management requirements of major apparel retailers across the country in a professional and efficient manner. Stock2Shelf service provides comprehensive mall supply chain services, inclusive of movement of apparel goods, inspection and estimation, professional packaging, security clearance, storage and destination delivery, unpacking and setting of goods, and finally reverse logistics.

“The Stock2Shelf service ensures 'time-definite' delivery through professionally trained crew that manages stocks along with the necessary paperwork required to enter the malls due to the increased security checks. This service enables the store owners in the malls to boost their brand image, along with a professional supply chain management of their apparel retail stores”, he concluded by explaining.

Next we asked him to delve on the strengths of Safexpress in supply chain management, to which said, “Safexpress has firmly entrenched itself as the 'Knowledge Leader' and 'Market Leader' of the supply chain & logistics industry.
