Logistics Tools on Globy
Sourcing Request (SR)
This tool is designed so that international traders can find suppliers offering favorable prices. With the help of SR, vendors can also find new customers. With this tool, you can set up a cargo supply chain and create a more complex delivery scheme. Let's give an example. If you, as a legal entity, need to order a product, but you did not find it in the Globy catalog or you do not have time for it, you can create a request for quotation (RFQ) specifying the requirements. You should make sure that your data is accurate, as potential suppliers will be guided by it.
After that, you will receive requests from distributors from around the world indicating the price and nuances. Having selected a suitable offer, you can negotiate it with the supplier and proceed to the conclusion of the contract. Suppliers can also use SR to find new customers and sales locations. They can view the RFQ list and offer their products. To build long-term business relationships, you need to find reliable partners; the SR tool on the Globy website is suitable for this.
Freight Calculator (FC)
This tool is good because it works instantly and can give an approximate estimate of the value of the cargo in a few seconds. Why is it needed? Imagine a situation where your company needs to order a large batch of clothes from India and you are satisfied with the cost of the transaction, but it is unclear how much transportation will cost. In this case, you can find the freight calculator on Globy and enter the port of departure and the port of arrival. You also need to specify the type of shipment (try FCL). You would also select the "Ready to load" date. As a result, you will receive exclusive rates for ocean transportation.
You can use this data to assess whether it is profitable for you to order clothes from India or if it is better to consider offers from distributors from Turkey. You will receive rates from leading container carriers (MSC Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd), which can be used during bidding with the vendor. The calculator can be launched from the desktop or mobile version of the site, the speed remains unchanged. The number of customers using the freight calculator on Globy is constantly increasing.
