Leg 1 — Pick Up
Two factors are vital for a successful cargo pick-up. The first is complete on-the-ground control of the situation. Savino Del Bene South Africa's extensive global presence means that no matter where your cargo is located, our specialist staff will take care of everything - from ensuring the right equipment is in place, to loading any abnormal cargo and keeping tabs on the relevant ETD (Estimate Time of Departure) for all carriers. The second key factor is the ability to repeat any process in future. Savino Del Bene South Africa captures every detail of the pick-up on our central database, which is also updated with your suppliers' address details.
Leg 2 — Origin Handling
To facilitate hassle-free handling you need more than just the right documents. The understanding of how each Port operates is vital. Our network is represented in 170 offices worldwide, each an expert in its region's Customs formalities, documentation and Port liaison. Whether you're importing or exporting, Savino Del Bene South Africa promises you not only safe delivery of your cargo, but more importantly, peace of mind.
Leg 3 — Carrier
One of the most important advantages of being part of a global network that commands considerable buying power with leading shipping/air lines when couriering via sea or air, is the freedom of choice. We choose the most effective way to get your consignment to you – at the best price.
Whether you require Airfreight, Full Container, LCL or Break Bulk, Savino Del Bene South Africa will customize a solution ideally suited to your needs, according to your unique cycle times, volumes moved, and your suppliers/clients details.
Essentially, the aim of a successful logistic solution is to make your business more efficient. So it makes sense that you should be able to trace your cargo's whereabouts at all times. Our sophisticated Track & Trace and Costing System allows you to follow the progress of your consignment by simply logging on to this website, ensuring up-to-the-minute information at your fingertips.
Leg 4 — Destination Handling
Not only do we manage all the components and third parties on your behalf – we take responsibility should anything go wrong. Through a meticulous understanding of local Port Authorities' operations and procedures, over the years we have established very strong working relationships with harbour authorities in Durban, Cape Town and PE. It is this attention to detail that ensures your cargo moves quickly and efficiently.
Leg 5 — Clearing
Fast and efficient Customs clearance is an obvious advantage of dealing with Savino Del Bene South Africa. It's a skill built through experience – a fine reputation we've earned through our consistent compliance with Customs and Excise rules and regulations, and by our unyielding focus on ethical management.
The result: the trust and respect of Customs offices across South Africa, which in turn means hassle-free clearance for you.
Our secret? Attention to detail and our quest for a paperless process. The former means getting everything right the first time (and every time); the latter is our mission to reduce the margin of error. Papers get lost, delayed and misplaced. Electronic data, on the other hand, measures, arrives and stays organised – as it should be.
Our experience with the Department of Trade and Industry, the South African Revenue Service and highly-trained consultants ensures we manage the formalities of applying for refunds and drawbacks on behalf of our importers effectively and, where possible, successfully. From Customs Tariff Codes to Export Incentive Schemes, our team makes it all happen, every time.
Our efforts were acknowledged when Savino Del Bene South Africa was chosen by Customs to be part of the export pilot initiative regarding the paperless F178.
Leg 6 — De-Grouping Warehousing
Savino Del Bene South Africa manages our clients' de-grouping needs by using strategic alliances. In this way, we can offer you expeditious lead times and competitive rates.
Leg 7 — Delivery
The secret of successful delivery is very simple: constant communication. We use dispatch radios, cellular telephony and satellite vehicle tracking systems and a fleet of vehicles to ensure one, straightforward goal is met - absolute and time-bound efficiency.
Why do we go to these lengths? Because we know that consistency is critical and what saves you time will ultimately also saves you money.
Leg 8 — Warehousing
