How A&C Trade achieved hassle-free consolidation and shipping with DGL’s end-to-end support
A&C Trade is a manufacturing and trade company coordinating monthly shipments from 10+ factories in China to the U.S. West Coast.
The Challenge: Why A&C Trade needed a one-stop partner
Coordinating with more than 10 suppliers across multiple factories meant A&C Trade was constantly juggling delivery schedules, factory responsiveness, customs procedures, and freight timelines. Their internal team was stretched thin, wasting valuable hours managing tasks that could be streamlined.
“Managing shipments ourselves meant chasing factories, worrying about customs, and coordinating timelines—it just wasn’t scalable.”
They needed a partner to take ownership of their supply chain, offer visibility, and eliminate the back-and-forth that slowed operations down.
The Solution: How DGL became their logistics backbone
DGL provided a true full-service model—handling every step from pickup coordination to U.S. customs clearance. Most importantly, they did so without needing to be micromanaged.
Services provided:
- Multi-vendor cargo consolidation
- End-to-end freight forwarding (China → U.S.)
- Customs brokerage coordination
- Proactive updates and milestone-based communication
Process highlights:
- DGL directly contacts each factory to coordinate timely delivery
- Flags potential cutoff issues and keeps A&C informed
- Communicates shipment status consistently—often within minutes of inquiry
- Resolves customs or vendor issues independently
