V Cargo crafts solutions for small businesses

Logistics services provider V Cargo Worldwide has come out with customized solutions for small and medium enterprises, recognizing that these businesses are poised to grow exponentially, both in sales and number, in the coming years.

In a recent interview, V Cargo president Paulo Tibig said the company’s new SME Logistics Solutions would eventually account for about 20 percent of the company’s revenues.

“A big chunk of the market is made up of SMEs. These businesses are constantly growing,” he told reporters.

“We saw from our research and focused group discussions that there is a need for such customized services,” he said.

He said V Cargo wanted to give SMEs services that were well within their budgets and could be scaled according to their volume requirements.

The company’s new SME Logistics Solutions, he added, also considered the nuances of some very specialized industries. Specific services were crafted to overcome these logistical hurdles.

The new solutions are targeted specifically at four industry categories: franchise businesses, food, health and wellness, and marketing.

The franchise business solutions are designed to help franchisors grow their businesses at lower logistics costs. The food logistics solutions are customized to handle perishable items, to ensure that these arrive at commissaries, depots and stores on time and in good condition.
