Unusually for Chinese logistics and transport companies, most of which make extensive use of sub-contractors, we own all of our vehicles - all 1,500 of them. Together with our 2,300 people, this enables us to cover 480 cities throughout China with the degree of control which is a fundamental requirement in our industry.

We have the economies of scale which consolidated volumes bring, and we can pass those economies on to your business, enabling you to extend your reach and increase your competitiveness. As the modern retail trade grows in China, you can satisfy the demands this brings through shipping smaller, more frequent consignments.

For retailers, we can arrange consolidation from a number of suppliers and ship full truckloads to our DCs for onward delivery to your local stores. Goods can be cross-docked or held and picked to specific store order requirements.

Distributors can also take advantage of our services. Do you really need warehouses and trucks when your business is selling?

However, such a network can only optimise your supply chain if it is linked to systems which give you the information you need to manage. At CML we understand that information is the key to management and have invested in IT which links our entire network through Internet accessible systems, providing all of us with real time management tools. SAP is our system of choice and we also have internally developed fleet management and tracking tools (GPS / IGS) for vehicle scheduling and real time truck and cargo location reporting.

We know where we are and we know where we're going. What can we do for you
