Most disruptions don’t come from the road; they come from planning gaps, poor documentation, and unclear accountability. BG Corp fixes those fundamentals. We start with a practical baseline of your lanes, cycle times, and failure points, then redesign the chain to balance cost, lead time, and risk. From there, we establish a steady operating rhythm—weekly exceptions, clear escalation routes, and disciplined follow-through—so performance holds under pressure.
African corridors are nuanced: axle-load limits, seasonal congestion, berth windows, and differing interpretations at border posts. We model these realities up front. Port selection, broker choice, inspection sequencing, and storage options are engineered as part of a single plan rather than bolted on later. The result is fewer surprises and a more predictable P95 lead time, not just a lower average.
Where commodities such as sulphur are involved, we bring specialist handling and safety discipline. Throughput targets are matched to equipment capability and berth availability; hazard protocols and audit trails are embedded. This reduces dwell and keeps compliance clean during audit.
Execution lives or dies on paperwork and timing. We align documents to destination rules, pre-clear where possible, and coordinate handling at port so trucks, rail, and storage are synchronised. Warehousing isn’t treated as a parking bay; it’s an inventory control point with stock health checks and agreed release triggers. Sea freight bookings—FCL, LCL, breakbulk, or bulk—are managed against a live plan with exception alerts rather than after-the-fact reporting.
Engagements usually start with a diagnostic on one lane or product. We implement a governance cadence, align brokers and carriers to a single plan, and then scale. If you already have preferred partners, we integrate and hold them to shared KPIs rather than forcing a switch for the sake of it.
