Why does IFC customise supply chain solutions?

• Discussing your specific logistics goals
• Integrating cloud logistics for greater tracking
• Importing inventory to our warehouse locations with ease
• Providing secure warehouses to prepare goods for delivery
• Distributing your products to paying customers
• Managing your supply chain through a simple web platform

All these features will help to streamline your supply chain management and provide greater transparency and insights.

Award winning supply chain solutions
IFC is proud to have developed two award-winning strategies to ensure our customers remain competitive with our customisable ‘direct-to-store’ and ‘e-commerce’ models.

Our direct-to-store model dramatically reduces production lead times while simplifying the stock ordering process, resulting in improved sales forecasting, and aids marketing promotion planning as a result of being guided by real-time stock availability. IFC achieves this by processing and consolidating stock at an off-shore location, allowing the dispatch of store-ready palleted orders to be shipped directly to each Australian state for transportation to store.

The e-commerce model sees IFC work closely with e-commerce retailers to provide customer-specific supply chain solutions. When consumers expect almost instantaneous delivery of goods, IFC can offer four-hour metropolitan delivery options for our customers, with a 99% success rate. The benefit of such efficient delivery is an improved customer experience, not only matching competitors’ delivery times but often exceeding expectations.
