A customer may require components from separate manufacturing facilities in different parts of the world to be delivered together. Due to the different manufacturing and transit times for the items they may be received over the course of several days.

Audax's FCS allows shipments to be made up of components from many destinations, and controls the labeling and onwards shipment of such shipments to ensure they can only be progressed once all components have been received from all sources. Operators will be alerted to missing components ensuring integrity of the shipment.

FCS allows operators to maintain full visibility of the shipment and its components during its life.

Typical application
Anywhere where merging goods in transit runs the risk of producing chaos, higher costs and unhappy customers. That can apply to many examples - especially where the delivery pipeline is long and complex.

FCS is employed by some of the world’s biggest computer manufacturers for their merge in transit operations. These are typically carried out under the direction of DHL, which is very familiar with the benefits of FCS.
