Introduction
Let’s tell the story of Labtest, a leading company in the medical diagnostics sector, and how they simplified the international freight quotation process using Cheap2Ship’s modern platform.
About Labtest
Founded in 1971, Labtest Diagnóstica S.A. is one of Brazil’s largest in vitro diagnostic industries. Recognized nationally and internationally as a reference in the biotechnology market, Labtest has a clear mission: to offer the Brazilian and Latin American markets the best solutions in reagents and equipment for clinical analysis.
Challenges
Imagine the challenge faced by Viviane, Labtest’s international buyer. She is responsible for negotiating raw materials, equipment, and spare parts, ensuring the company continues to provide high-quality services in the healthcare sector.
Labtest’s suppliers are spread across the globe, from Europe to Asia and the United States. Dealing with perishable and hazardous raw materials makes logistics even more complex.
Viviane also played a crucial role in Labtest’s implementation and certification in the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) program, which heightened the need for control over operations and freight providers.
However, Viviane was facing a significant challenge. She conducted the selection and approval of new suppliers, as well as the evaluation of international suppliers and foreign trade service providers, all manually through emails and calls. This consumed much of her time and made it difficult to accurately analyze freight quotations to choose the best options.
