Global supply chains are rarely straightforward. Shipments often move across continents, changing hands and transport modes along the way. Sea, air, and road freight each play a role, and when combined effectively, they create powerful, flexible networks that keep goods moving smoothly from origin to destination.
At IFS, we help make sense of that complexity. Our integrated freight solutions bring multiple transport modes together under one coordinated system, ensuring that every stage of the journey is carefully managed and connected.
What Multi-Leg Shipments Involve
A multi-leg shipment uses more than one mode of transport within a single logistics plan. Cargo may begin its journey by sea, transfer to air for regional movement, and complete the final stretch by road. Each transition requires alignment between carriers, documentation, and customs processes to maintain continuity and control.
IFS combines these elements through our Global Freight services. By integrating sea, air, and road operations, we create a single, cohesive process that keeps goods moving confidently across borders and regions.
Coordination Through Centralised Management
Effective coordination is the foundation of multi-leg logistics. Each leg of the route depends on the one before it, requiring clear communication, accurate scheduling, and a consistent point of oversight.
At IFS, our teams manage the full journey from origin to delivery, acting as a single logistics partner across multiple carriers and routes. This centralised approach gives clients the assurance that every handover and checkpoint is handled with precision and transparency.
Visibility That Connects Every Step
Visibility across the supply chain is essential for confidence and control. IFS provides structured communication and regular status updates, ensuring that all parties remain informed as goods move through each stage of the journey.
This approach strengthens collaboration between stakeholders and maintains clarity from planning to delivery, helping complex shipments flow without disruption.
Experience That Delivers Confidence
Behind every successful multi-leg shipment is experience. IFS has built trusted relationships with global carriers and port operators enabling smooth transitions between each stage of transport. Our teams understand the details of international compliance, port operations, and inland logistics, ensuring every element aligns as planned.
That experience allows us to manage even the most intricate routes with confidence and consistency.
