Emergency Textile Shipping from China to Brazil – Transworld’s Agile Supply Chain Solution

Client Background

A Brazilian apparel retailer needed to ship 3 tons of textiles from multiple suppliers across China to Brazil via ocean freight.

The original estimated transit time was 32-35 days, but delays from one critical supplier threatened to disrupt the entire shipment, potentially impacting the client’s sales timeline.

Key Challenges:

1. Supplier Delay: One key supplier failed to meet the deadline, jeopardizing the entire shipment.

2. Time Sensitivity: The client needed minimal delays to avoid missing sales deadlines in Brazil.

3. Cost Efficiency: The client wanted to minimize additional expenses while ensuring timely delivery.

Transworld’s Solution:

Step 1: Immediate Communication & Confirmation

Contacted the delayed supplier to confirm the revised delivery timeline.

Updated the client and presented three contingency plans.

Step 2: Customized Shipping Strategies

Option	Approach	Pros	Cons
Option 1: Wait for all goods, then ship together	Proceed with original plan but accept delay	No extra cost	Entire shipment delayed
Option 2: Split shipment (send available goods first, rest later)	Partial delivery to reduce delay	Some stock arrives on time	Higher freight costs, partial delay
Option 3: Domestic air freight + consolidated ocean shipping	Airfreight delayed goods to warehouse, then ship all together	Fastest recovery of original schedule	Slightly higher cost but optimized

Step 3: Optimal Execution & Cost Negotiation

Chose Option 3:

Arranged domestic air freight for delayed goods to meet the original ocean cutoff.

Cost-sharing negotiation: Convinced the supplier to cover 50% of air freight costs, reducing client expenses.

Domestic air freight + consolidated ocean shipping

✔ Sales timeline preserved, ensuring on-shelf availability in Brazil
