Logistics & Delivery

From Finished Parts to Delivered Orders

NetProto helps coordinate packaging, shipping method selection, export preparation, tracking, and delivery communication so customers can move from completed production to received parts with fewer logistics surprises.

Delivery planning

Choose shipping based on time, cost, and project urgency

A small urgent order and a high-volume production shipment should not be handled the same way. NetProto helps align the shipping plan with the project.

Express shipment

Best for urgent parts or fast delivery when production timing is the main concern.

Air freight

Useful when the timeline is urgent but the project scale supports air logistics.

Ocean freight

Better for larger production orders or less urgent, cost-sensitive moves.

Project flexibility

Support for split shipments and staged delivery

Some projects need sample lots, partial production runs, and release shipments later. NetProto can help coordinate staged movement when the program requires it.

Sample-first delivery

Use this approach when you need parts in hand before full production or final release.

  • First article shipment
  • Engineering review package
  • Customer approval before mass production

Split production shipments

Ship manufacturing output in releases, manage inventory, or stage production batches around schedule needs.

  • Urgent batch by air
  • Balance quantity by ocean
  • Improve cash flow with delivery schedules

Packaging and routing

Packaging should protect both the part and the schedule

Custom plastic parts may need protection from scratches, deformation, transit handling, or assembly confusion. Packaging planning should happen before shipment.

Part protection

Packaging can be selected based on cosmetic surfaces, sharp features, finish risk, inserts, or assembled components.

Labeling and cartons

Carton labeling, part quantities, count labels, and project references can help receiving teams identify shipments quickly.

Special requirements

Customer-specific packaging, documentation, or delivery instructions can be supported during quoting.

Shipping options

Common delivery choices

Freight and logistics plans should match urgency, shipment size, documentation needs, and project requirements.

Shipping methodBest forTypical tradeoff
Express courierSamples, small urgent parts, urgent shipmentsFast and simple, but higher cost per parcel
Air freightMedium-size orders with short timelinesFaster than ocean, but more expensive and may require stronger documentation
Ocean freightLarger production ordersLower cost, longer transit time, more planning needed
Split shipmentUrgent lead-in batch plus larger cost-controlled balanceMore coordination, but can deliver urgent needs first
