Cafe Calva has always been emphasizing integration between its consumer retail sites and the supply chain comprising its suppliers and business partners. Connectrust is the electronic platform that makes this integration possible, allowing total visibility of transactions taking place upstream with its suppliers in Europe and distribution operations taking place downstream with its regional customers throughout Asia.
Cafe Calva Connectrust business portal has multiple purposes. One is to facilitate on-line collaboration and electronic document interchange between supply chain partners. The other is to offer an efficient way to request for quotations, check inventory, place and pay orders online and expedite import and export documentation in compliance with Customs regulation in the country of import.
Suppliers will find in Connectrust a trusted third party exporter and in Cafe Calva a reliable sales and marketing agent at destination. Connectrust Europe buys and pays its suppliers in Europe and ships just-in-time what is required by the destination markets. Suppliers can ship to a larger pool of customers without incurring risks on payments (since they are centralized with Connectrust) and still leverage on logistics costs to make their offer attractive to prospective and regular customers. In addition, Cafe Calva marketing services may be offered to commercialize their products locally.
From its Singapore base, buyers can benefit from Connectrust Asia's all in one logistics, financial and credit terms package. Connectrust, inc will soon be providing the same services for deliveries from Europe to certain states of USA and Canada. Quality control can be performed at origin, for example, providing the guarantee that the wine vintage that has been ordered is the one that is going to be delivered. Moreover, landed cost can be pre-determined more easily, regardless of quantity ordered. Immediate benefits for the buyer are lower inventory carrying cost and broader selection for its customers.
Connectrust nurtures privileged relationship with logistics service providers whether they are already specialized in wine logistics operations or whether they see a value in adding such capability to their current service offering. We can provide professional wine storage, pick and pack operations and allocate homogeneous cargo for regular Asian and intra-European consolidation services.
