Kinetix deploys logistics managers to your project destination to survey transportation infrastructures, host country regulations and effective local agents.  It’s this thorough understanding of the logistics environment that allows our staff of experienced professionals to develop a transportation plan with cargo speed, safety and cost effectiveness in mind.

Kinetix values your time and it is our goal to insure you receive an accurate and timely quote response from us within 24 hours of your request. You will be proactively notified should additional time be needed for larger or more complex quote requests.

Kinetix initiates full control of your supply chain by actively engaging your commodity vendors to determine order completion.  We then create a transportation plan based on the production schedules. This process provides our clients with critical decision making information mitigating project downtime at destination.

Kinetix International Logistics is adept at minimizing damages to freight while in transit. Depending on cargo type, Kinetix provides customized packaging ranging from shrink wrapping to full export crating. Our extensive experience in shipping cargo to developing countries affords us with an understanding of the conditions freight can be exposed to during transit and how to export pack the cargo so that it will be delivered securely. Air shipments are packed in wooden crates or tri-wall containers to ensure cargo integrity and for easy handling. Ocean shipments can be custom crated as necessary right on the premises. All dangerous and hazardous goods are dispatched by our warehouse staff to a licensed hazardous materials packer for proper containerization prior to export.

Kinetix utilizes all modes of transportation to move your cargo including rail, truck, ocean going vessel, barge and aircraft. We are an FMC licensed OTI (ocean transportation intermediary) with extensive past performance in the transport of full container loads (FCL), less than container loads (LCL), less than truck loads (LTL) and trailer loads (TL). Kinetix is also a TSA certified indirect air carrier providing air freight services including air charters, regular break bulk, rolling stock, and oversize break bulk. Our highly trained staff, advanced IT capability and communication links to agents and carriers throughout the world allows us to plan, coordinate, transport, clear, and deliver any kind of shipment to any destination.  Our global reach is fully complemented by logistics professionals utilizing an advanced shipment management system for preparing documents, coordinating routes and tracking shipments on a real-time basis.

Kinetix is the industry leader in providing precise, real-time reporting and tracking information to support your project management needs. We utilize highly trained logistics professionals and an expandable, state of the art, computerized cargo tracking system called Odyssey. Odyssey is a Windows based client/server system that traces purchase order line and sub line items through receiving, export packing and forwarding to final delivery. Odyssey creates all necessary shipping documentation and prepares reports for our clients so that they can follow an individual purchase order component through each stage of its transport to the final destination.  For high value or sensitive shipments requiring advanced tracking capability, Kinetix offers continuous, real-time visibility to your assets via the installation of a tracking device that uses Iridium, GPS, RFID and other wireless sensors to pinpoint its location via Google Earth mapping.

Kinetix International utilizes an independent network of pre-qualified international origin and destination agents regardless of van line or industry affiliation. The international agents we employ to perform export pack, load, transportation and delivery services are measured through a series of key performance indicators which are reviewed quarterly in order to maintain satisfactory service consistency. The Kinetix operation’s charter avoids business relationships built on reciprocity, which has been a traditional yet not client advantageous process for years.

Kinetix International specializes in providing world class international moving services for growth corporations, and US Government Agencies and their contractors operating in developing companies. Our institutional knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), global transportation infrastructures and country specific customs procedures positions us as one of the most unique moving providers for the international development community. Our past performance of operating in complex environments for USAID, the Peace Corps and the US Department of State provides our clients with confidence in our abilities in this unique market.

Every Kinetix International household goods moves requires that we perform a pre-move survey in order to ensure that policy, move requirements and cost accuracy are defined at the onset of the process. The survey results are inspected to further ensure that the proper labor team is provided, all necessary packing materials are available, enough van space is reserved, and realistic service dates for pack, load and delivery are committed. Proper tariff application and post-move invoice auditing begin with the pre-move survey.

International moving services are planned using a door-to-door timeline. Kinetix International assumes the responsibility as client advocate to ensure that all providers employed deliver their specialty services in the most satisfactory, complete and cost effective manner available. Kinetix oversees each phase of this process and works “directly” with all specialists in order to provide a seamless and effective move. Our expert Transportation Counselors work both individually with each provider, while coordinating the process to meet their committed timeline. Further, Kinetix negotiates each phase of the door-to-door process to deliver a competitive bottom-line.

Every Kinetix International origin services crew is trained specifically for international packing, export wrapping and loading. The vast majority of our agents are also FIDI, FAIM and RIM certified. At the transferee’s residence, the origin crew will perform their tasks as the transferee observes in order to maintain confidence and satisfaction. All furniture and fragile items will be wrapped with bubble plastic or paper padding as required. Special crates and export packing materials will be constructed for fragile and oversized items.
