The Challenge
Zoomo Bikes are enjoying rapid growth having brought an exceptional product and innovative business proposition to the LEV market.
They needed a trustworthy freight forwarding partner with expertise across several key trade lanes between Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania. Working together, they needed to build a resilient supply chain which was rapidly scalable to meet the needs of the firm’s aggressive expansion.
“Finding a trustworthy and reliable freight forwarding partner was a vital step in aiding the growth of the business. WTA Group have been extremely helpful in their support and partnership on all aspects of our supply chain.”
Johnson Liu, Zoomo Bikes Global Supply Chain Manager
“Zoomo bikes came to WTA Group needing a partnership, rather than a purely transactional relationship with their freight forwarder. We were delighted to work with them, as we believe that’s the best route to supply chain success.”
Kimberley Hines, WTA Group Customer Success Manager
WTA Group: a complete logistics partner
Owing to Zoomo’s rapid expansion, consultancy from our trade lane experts proved extremely beneficial in the early stages. It meant as their container volumes increased from only a handful per year to several per month, the logistics across sea, air and land remained reliable and did not hinder business growth. Customer satisfaction never suffered throughout the rapid scaling, which is notoriously challenging to achieve.
Regardless of volumes, our customers receive our most competitive rates and expert advice. We know the small shippers of today, are the huge international partners of tomorrow.
Off the back of our straight-talking advice (rather than unrealistic promises), we gradually accrued responsibility for more aspects of their inbound and outbound supply chain. As a non-asset-based forwarder, we were able to craft an unbiased, unique supply chain solution to fit their needs, not one that fit our transport.
Alongside enrolment on our end-to-end visibility tool, we appointed Kimberley as their dedicated account manager, so Zoomo had a single point of contact at the company to manage all queries and further simplify their logistics. The digital tool provided 20 staff at the company a single source of truth for all data related to their supply chain. Zoomo worked with our developers to ensure the visibility tool was reporting on the specific cost data points which were of most value.
Our goal remains helping Zoomo reach theirs.
Turbocharging Zoomo success
We continue to work with Zoomo to optimise and overcome the inevitable challenges of shipping internationally.
Recently introducing more cross trade services to further slash product lead time and total landed cost.
No stage of Zoomo’s international supply chain is ignored in our pursuit of extracting the biggest logistical competitive advantage possible.
Forward thinking supply chains
Keeping your supply chain under constant consideration is crucial for minimising costs and maximising resilience in case of unforeseen events.
At WTA Group we’ve commissioned a whitepaper, exploring China’s role as a global import hub and whether that is threatened in 2023 by lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions.
