ILOS's market intelligence project gathers information on the costs and risks of a new logistics operation between the United States and Europe.
A Brazilian company wanted to expand its operations by producing a new product and increasing the regions it served. The company's main target was Europe, and the new production plant was to be located in the United States. However, the company had no prior experience operating in this new market and was unfamiliar with the costs and logistical capabilities required to operate the new product in the desired regions.
To assist this company, ILOS gathered information, through direct contact with carriers, port terminals, and shipping companies, on logistics costs from production in the US to final delivery to European customers, as well as the potential risks of the operation.
With the consulting services provided by ILOS, the client gained a clear understanding of the logistical challenges and costs involved in their intended new business venture.
