Logistic Solutions to Solve all the Market Challenges
In the initial days of the establishment, the major challenges faced by
by Englobe was building the relationship. It takes a lot of effort to create value, continuously innovate and build trust. As the company evolved, Englobe realized its role as a trusted advisor and used that as a framework for its service delivery. Additionally, the phrase customer first has been bandied, and the company frequently delves deeper into its meaning. They constantly introspect and review their practices, operations, and service delivery model to ensure that the clients are better informed, can plan strategically and are aware of the supply chain risks at any given point in time. This trust building with clients and capacity building inhouse to provide proper advisory go hand in hand and have had to evolve simultaneously in a constant feedback loop.
Furthermore, to support this, Englobe offers a service model in two pronged pricing and advisory. Pricing is related to the movement of goods, mode of shipping and storage. Englobe offers the entire bouquet of services that a full-fledged global logistics and freight solution firm offer like cross country trade, projects, DAP, out gauge cargo, sea air land freight, warehousing & distribution etc. At the same time, the advisory practice relates to market and business intelligence, regulatory intelligence and operations support.

The company's advantage is that Englobe has invested heavily in its technology backbone to synthesize the data into a meaningful picture.
Hence, with such exceptional services, the company's goal in future is to reduce carbon footprint to net zero and move to an entirely paperless work environment. Englobe is looking at automating most of the process, including customer touch points, where routine communication is involved. Also, the company is planning to build its inhouse database using machine learning which will track shipping patterns, client behaviour, industry trends and other economic factors to highlight better risks looming on the horizon.
