Procurement Logistics
Procurement logistics is the dominant activity in the supply chain, and it can expressively affect the across-the-board result of a company depending on how it is exercised. Its goal is control of supply so that operational processes never stop.
The factors that decide whether procurement logistics works are the quantities supplied and the supply frequency, the impact on the supply chain catalogue, demand predictions, quality of service delivery, merchandiser selection, date conformity, and the range of packing and loading units used by suppliers. We manage all of them against your production plan.
Horizon Freight offers these services to large and small companies globally. You can entrust us with sourcing and procurement — we make the market search, purchase the goods you need and offer ready-made solutions for logistics outsourcing.

Market search
We find and qualify suppliers instead of leaving you to negotiate blind in an unfamiliar market.
Date conformity
Orders expedited so material lands when production needs it — not weeks early into paid storage.
Supplier consolidation
Several suppliers combined into one shipment, cutting freight and clearance cost per unit.
Outsourced logistics
Ready-made packages for companies that would rather not run a logistics department.
Common questions
Can you buy goods on our behalf?
Yes. We can carry out the market search, place the purchase and manage the inbound movement, reporting on price, lead time and supplier performance as we go.
