THE GAP WE HANDLE
Sourcing is organised. Shipping is organised. The middle often is not.
Mixed deliveries
Goods arrive at different times, in different boxes and with inconsistent labels or paperwork.
Limited visibility
You need a reliable record of what arrived and its visible condition before it moves on.
No suitable handover point
Your buyer’s freight forwarder needs one collection address and freight that is ready when the driver arrives.
THE SERVICE
Six steps. One address.
Every job follows written instructions agreed before the goods are sent.
- 01
RECEIVE
Inbound parcels, boxes and approved pallets are logged on arrival.
- 02
CHECK AND PHOTOGRAPH
We photograph the delivery and check it against your written instructions.
- 03
CONSOLIDATE
Goods from different suppliers are brought together into one controlled outbound shipment.
- 04
PREPARE
We relabel or repackage where agreed, using supplier-neutral presentation when required.
- 05
DOCUMENT
Your approved invoice, packing list and collection documents are checked and attached.
- 06
HAND OVER
Final package details are confirmed before your nominated freight forwarder collects.
BUILT AROUND LIVE WORK
Created for international equipment supply.
The process grew from real equipment-supply shipments sourced from several countries and delivered to oil and gas buyers across the Middle East, South Asia, Europe and the Americas.
Goods needed to be received, checked, photographed, consolidated and prepared with approved paperwork before the buyer’s freight forwarder collected them.
Waystation turns that established working process into a service for other specialist suppliers and international traders.
INDICATIVE PRICING
