VMI services

We have been offering our customers Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and Consignment Inventory services in our logistics center since 2010.
What is VMI?


Vendor Managed Inventory is a supply chain optimization service in which the supplier is responsible for maintaining the inventory level of the customer's goods. The supplier has access to the customer's inventory data, and the supplier is responsible for purchase requisitions.

What is a Consignment Inventory?
This is a system in which the supplier places a certain quantity of goods at the customer's location and retains ownership of the goods. Payment will not be made until the item is sold. VMI may or may not include Consignment Inventory.

What are the main advantages?
The advantage of VMI are numerous for both the supplier and the customer.

Here's a short list of them:

Mutual Benefits.
  • A true partnership emerges between the supplier and the customer. Because they work more closely with each other, which strengthens the bond.
  • Errors associated with data loss are reduced because the data is transferred electronically from computer to computer. The speed of data processing is also much faster.
  • This is a system in which the supplier places a certain quantity of goods at the customer's location and retains ownership of the goods. Payment will not be made until the item is sold. VMI may or may not include Consignment Inventory.

Benefits for the client:
  • The cost of planning and ordering is reduced because the responsibility is placed on the provider.
  • The overall level of service improves because the right products are always in the right place at the right time.
  • The seller is more focused on the highest quality of service.

Benefits to the supplier:
  • Reduces the number of errors in orders that led to returns.
  • The option to review inventory levels helps prioritize (restock or de-stock). Before VMI, the supplier didn't have an overview of the quantities and items that were ordered. With VMI, the supplier can see the potential need for an item before the item is ordered. Special arrangements (e.g., pricing) are easier to make.

3PL, 4PL, 5PL - All levels of logistics

Third-party logistics is the most common and well-known service. However, 3PL, 4PL and 5PL are becoming more prominent in supply chains. Here's everything you need to know to understand 1PL, 2PL, 3PL, 4PL, 5PL.
3PL can help companies at any stage of their supply chain, usually by offering an integrated logistics solution that covers a number of services, including but not limited to:

  • Warehousing
  • Freight forwarding
  • Customs procedures
  • Inventory Management
  • Trucking
  • Sea transportation
  • Air freight
  • Cross-docking
  • Export packing
  • Returns management

In essence, a 3PL acts as your company's logistics department, saving the time, nerves and costs associated with managing the entire process internally. Alternatively, a company may turn to a 3PL after a merger or acquisition when its supply chain becomes too complex to manage internally.

4PL (fourth-party logistics) is a more advanced form of supply chain management, focused on optimizing the entire logistics function rather than delivering individual parts.

Using 4PL can be an attractive option for companies whose supply chain is complex and geographically far. With a broader understanding of the supply chain and the technologies that can improve it, 4PL can have a good opportunity to improve supply chain efficiency.

5PL (fifth-party logistics) has emerged more recently than 3PL and 4PL, with the concept open to different interpretations. Typically, however, a 5PL provider will move beyond individual supply chains, instead focusing on broader supply networks.

A 5PL will plan, organize and implement a customer's logistics solutions, taking all elements of supply chain management out of their hands. Their focus on supply networks means they will control every supply chain in the organization.

As most 5PLs specialize in big data and use technology to improve efficiency, they tend to be more valuable to e-commerce businesses than companies with a conventional presence. Other technologies that 5PLs can use include robotics, blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI) and Bluetooth beacons.

The decision of whether to use 3PL, 4PL or 5PL will mostly depend on the needs of your business and whether you have the ability to manage your logistics internally.

At Hecny Group, we offer experience and a wide range of services to work as your integrated logistics partner on a 2PL, 3PL, 4PL or 5PL basis. Acting as an outsourced logistics department for many high-profile clients in various sectors, we pride ourselves on providing reliable, professional and cost-effective services.

Multimodal transportations

Международные мультимодальные перевозки позволяют наиболее ощутимо добиться снижения стоимости перевозки, увеличить скорость транспортировки, а также доставить груз практически в любую точку мира, где есть хоть какая-то инфраструктура.
Multimodal cargo transportation is the delivery of one cargo in stages by several modes of transport. In this case, sea, river, rail, road or air methods of transportation can be used in any combination. Today, multimodal transportations are the most convenient and popular form of delivery of significant batches of goods to average and large distances. The main advantage of this method of delivery is the maximum use of advantages of various means of transportation, through their competent combination. Thus, the entire way in multimodal transportations is divided into certain sections.

International multimodal transportations allow most appreciably achieving reduction in the cost of transportation, increasing the speed of transportation, as well as delivering goods to almost any point in the world where there is at least some infrastructure.
It will be useful to know
  • Useful facts about multimodal transportation:
    For convenience, the logistics operator may issue a multimodal bill of lading as proof of acceptance of cargo for transportation. However, it should be remembered that such a document is unlikely to be accepted in customs clearance, as well as in the resolution of any disputes.

    As for transshipment of cargo, contractors can draw up various documents, depending on the operations performed with the cargo. Consideration of these documents is beyond the scope of this article.
  • Checklist for the freight forwarder:
    • I know the total cost of transporting a shipment at all stages.
    • I know the total cost of handling the cargo at the port of destination.
    • I know the total cost of crossing the customs border.
    • All the costs and timeframes are agreed upon with contractors.
    • All contractors are informed that they will work on my shipment at a certain time. They know what kind of cargo it will be, they are ready to work. All the required documents have been provided.
    • I am aware of the free storage time of the cargo during processing. In addition, I have a complete breakdown of the excess charges. Therefore, I can provide this information to interested parties.

Dry cargo containers

Dry containers 20′ and 40′ are manufactured from either aluminium or steel. They are suitable for most types of cargo. Aluminium dry containers have a slightly larger payload than steel, and steel dry containers have a slightly larger internal cube.

Flat rack containers

Flat rack containers are especially suitable for heavy loads and cargo that needs loading from the top or sides, such as pipes and machinery. You will find collapsible containers and non-collapsible containers with or without walls.

Garment containers

Garments on hangers containers give customers the option of using a string or bar system, or a combination of both. The garments containers offer increased flexibility, greater internal load capacity and savings on transportation and handling costs.
