Full-Service Engagement - 3 Containers, All Services
The complete INTERACT operation: PKR 7.97M total procurement across FMCG, cookware, and textiles with all 6 service lines deployed simultaneously across 3 containers.
The Challenge
What needed solving
A Malaysian importer needed a single trade partner capable of handling diversified product categories (FMCG, cookware, textiles) across multiple containers. The requirement was end-to-end management covering sourcing from 25+ brands, customs clearing across different HS classifications, quality inspection for different product types, and freight coordination for both 20ft and 40ft containers.
Our Solution
How we delivered
INTERACT deployed all 6 service lines (Buying House, Customs Clearing, Export Documentation, Freight, Quality Inspection, Market Entry) across 3 containers. Container 1 was a 20ft FCL FMCG mixed load (576 cartons, 15 suppliers). Container 2 was a data-driven 20ft FCL replenishment (265 cartons, focused on proven sellers). Container 3 was a dedicated 40ft FCL SONEX cookware shipment (90 units, single brand). Each container had tailored service deployment based on its unique requirements.
