Inbound Purchasing Flows
Logistics requirements for raw materials, semi-finished goods, and critical components are defined from the purchasing stage for domestic and international sourcing.
Logistics Management
External Logistics Consulting
End-to-end management of external logistics processes from domestic/international purchasing to customs, packaging, transport compliance, and final shipment.
External Logistics Approach
We manage goods purchasing and shipment processes outside the factory as a measurable system that reduces operational risk.
External logistics covers supplier pickup, correct packaging, transport mode selection, customs and regulatory requirements, warehouse receiving compatibility, and planned management of customer shipments.
SYDH Consulting focuses on establishing a common logistics language between purchasing, suppliers, customs, quality, warehouse, production, and shipment teams. The objective is not only to move the material, but to ensure it enters the operational system under the right conditions, with the right documents, packaging, and timing.
Packaging and Warehouse Fit
Supplier packaging standards are aligned with factory warehouse receiving, racking/stacking, and material safety requirements.
Customs Compliance
Supplier documents, product descriptions, HS codes, labeling, origin, and technical documentation needs are checked before customs operations.
Procurement and Import Logistics
For every incoming material, logistics requirements should be defined before the purchasing decision is finalized.
In domestic and international sourcing, raw materials, semi-finished goods, battery components, electronic equipment, or auxiliary materials should not be evaluated only by price and lead time. Packaging, transport mode, warehouse receiving method, customs documentation, and production system requirements should be clarified at the beginning of the purchasing process.
Supplier requirements are prepared by considering packaging type, pallet/crate dimensions, stackability, moisture and impact protection, product labels, serial/lot traceability, transport documents, certificates of origin, safety data sheets, technical documents, and customs needs.

- Identifying operational risks in import and shipment flows before execution
Distribution and Shipment Logistics
Products should be shipped with the right transport vehicle, packaging, and document set.
For outbound shipments, product dimensions, weight, sensitivity, dangerous goods status, delivery point, route, and customer receiving requirements must be evaluated together. Based on this assessment, the most suitable transport vehicle, loading method, securing needs, packaging standard, and shipment control plan are defined.
SYDH Consulting supports company packaging standards, transport requirements, carrier selection, loading plans, damage-risk reduction, pre-shipment checklists, and operational documentation structures.
Transport Compliance for Energy Storage Systems
Battery and energy storage logistics must be managed together with packaging, labeling, documentation, and transport regulation requirements.
Energy storage systems and lithium-ion battery components may require special safety and regulatory assessment during transport. It should be determined whether the product is shipped as a battery alone, packed with equipment, contained in equipment, or as a system component.
For lithium-ion batteries, UN 3480 and UN 3481 classifications, UN 38.3 test summaries, applicable packaging instructions, Class 9/9A markings, transport documents, and ADR road transport requirements are handled as integral parts of shipment planning. IATA DGR, IMDG Code, and ADR requirements should be assessed by product and transport mode.
Correct planning in external logistics is the key preparation that prevents materials from stopping at customs, warehouse receiving, or shipment execution.
SYDH Consulting evaluates supplier requirements, packaging standards, transport mode, customs documents, battery/ADR requirements, and shipment control structure together to make logistics processes more manageable in terms of cost, speed, and compliance.
Scope of Work
Core activities that can be carried out within external logistics consulting.
Supplier Logistics Requirements
Packaging, labeling, documentation, shipment method, and delivery conditions are turned into a standard supplier requirement set.
Customs and Document Review
Product description, origin, technical documents, and transport documentation needs are evaluated before import/customs operations.
Transport Mode Selection
Road, sea, air, or multimodal options are compared by cost, lead time, product risk, and regulatory suitability.
Packaging Standard
Company packaging standards are created according to product type, weight, sensitivity, stacking, and customer receiving conditions.
ADR and Battery Processes
ADR, UN 3480/3481, UN 38.3, packaging, and labeling requirements are evaluated shipment by shipment.
Shipment Control System
Pre-loading checklists, carrier coordination, and delivery follow-up structures are connected to the operational system.
Let's secure your external logistics process before shipment starts.
We can evaluate purchasing, customs, packaging, transportation, and battery shipment requirements according to your operational structure.
