Cargo details
Engine oils and automotive fluids.
Route
Containers arrive at the Port of Novorossiysk → moved to a customs warehouse for marking and further processing.
Client's wishes
Embed marking into the existing logistics chain at the customs warehouse to minimise total cost and cycle time.
Features of transportation
The transport leg was already established; the key value was building an efficient warehouse processing + marking workflow compliant with Chestny ZNAK rules.
What Growex Implemented
Scaled infrastructure for volume growth: expanded covered customs warehouse usable area from 250 m² to 750 m² to remove capacity bottlenecks.
What Growex Implemented
- Modelled the inbound flow (SKUs, volumes, frequency) and approved a container dispatch schedule from the port directly to the customs warehouse.
- Set up priority routing to the customs warehouse to eliminate cost leakage: port storage/dwell charges and expenses related to transit processing.
- Prepared and approved the label layout with the client, including all mandatory Chestny ZNAK fields.
- Closed the full Chestny ZNAK operational cycle on the client’s behalf: issued DataMatrix codes, generated aggregated codes (KITU, KIGU, ATK), and completed the put-into-circulation step in the system.
- Organised “cross-dock” style marking immediately after unloading (“from wheels”): typical throughput 1–2 business days per batch.
Scaled infrastructure for volume growth: expanded covered customs warehouse usable area from 250 m² to 750 m² to remove capacity bottlenecks.
Result for the client
- 55 containers processed in 2 months.
- Priority placement and marking cycle of 1–2 business days per batch became the standard.
- Total cost became significantly more predictable: lower port storage fees, fewer transit-processing costs, and reduced internal movements via temporary storage facilities — because marking was integrated directly into the customs-warehouse workflow.
