2Go Group Inc., the logistics arm of conglomerate SM Investments Corp., on Wednesday bared completing the preparation of major hubs to meet the anticipated rise in demand for cargo and delivery movements in the run up to the Christmas holidays.
“As the country’s largest logistics service provider, we embrace the philosophy of readiness regardless of season. Anticipating the increase in logistics movement during this joyous time of year, we consistently invest in supply chain preparedness by establishing a foothold in our hubs and maintaining a capable workforce. We prioritize customer satisfaction and continue to deliver on our commitments to our customers and partners, ensuring success regardless of the season,” Frederic C. DyBuncio, president and CEO of 2Go and of SMIC, said.
Company executives have visited Clark Field and Subic Bay in Central Luzon, Cebu City in Central Visayas and Cagayan de Oro in Northern Mindanao, to strengthen the trade hubs that serve as central points for consolidating and distributing goods.
Its presence in these strategic locations allow 2Go to move deliveries faster for industries, businesses as well as personal deliveries, he said. “2Go has embarked on a proactive initiative to collaborate with key stakeholders in important logistical regions across the Philippines. Reinforcing our presence in major gateways not only provides us with efficient forwarding and cargo services but helps our partners and clients increase market reach, find more opportunities, and bridge logistical requirements,” Faye Alonzo, business unit head for express and forwarding, said.
The company is also offering LCL, or less than container-load, ship side services available at its Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Zamboanga and Cagayan de Oro hubs.
The service is available in its network of 17 vital ports of call that serve as gateways for both dry goods and temperature-controlled cargo. Its clientele includes the top domestic and international manufacturers, distributors, industrials, and agricultural businesses covering a wide range of industries across the nation.
With LCL, 2GO extends logistics support to MSMEs and entrepreneurs, ensuring that businesses of all sizes benefit from a comprehensive set of solutions, the company said.
