- How It Works
The Control Tower Process
Four steps from cargo-ready at origin to visibility in your dashboard—with Kesco managing every handoff in between.
1
Order Placement
Your purchase orders are received into our system. We align with your suppliers on production timelines and cargo readiness dates.
2
Cargo Coordination
We monitor production across all origins and coordinate cargo collection—consolidating multi-factory orders when it saves you cost.
3
Booking & Execution
We place bookings on your carrier contracts or ours, confirm space, manage documentation, and ensure nothing misses a cut-off.
4
Visibility & Reporting
Everything is live in the Kesco Platform. Track milestones, receive exception alerts, and pull performance reports whenever you need.
