JAS Brazil Takes On the Economy

1/16/2016

 
Picture
​Nine of ten economic and financial articles in the news have been indicating that our (Brazil's) local Economy is not performing within the minimum level to be considered “reasonable” and worse, that the scenario for 2016 will be worse than the one we faced in 2015.

Some of the issues we have faced are as follows: 
  • Intense corruption on different political legends (parties) and Government Companies, being that the top bribery scandals in those Companies were those controlled by the Government
  • Low levels of recognition for actual, non-corrupt,  Government leaders, inhibiting local and international investment due to lack of confidence by Investors
  • High level of unemployment, reaching record low levels by the end of the year that had not been seen in the last 12 years
  • Two digit inflation, deterring consumer power, which during the last years was one of our “locomotives” of GPD growth
Economic statistics and articles show that by the end of 2016, our economy may be 10% smaller than it was in the 1st quarter of 2014, equating the Brazilian GPD to the same situation of countries such as Greece. Therefore leading two rating agencies to demote Brazilian financial classifications not seen in Brazil for many years. Difficult days lie ahead and have been recently endured in Brazil. It is unfortunate that our country must suffer the loss of evident prosperity growth due to the internal politics that have incapacitated our country and left our government in evident need of assistance. 

However, despite these difficulties, Brazil continues to be the 7th largest economy in the world, hitting 200+ million people living here and anxious to reach better days, applying their personal efforts and extraordinary creativity, in order to rebuild this economy to its former glory. It is with this spirit that JAS BRASIL (Brazil), through their dedicated staff, knows that the best way to deal with the crisis that surrounds the country is to offer the best services with cost savings to our customers. 

An example of the cost savings offered by JAS to our customers came a few months ago when we learned of a challenge one of our global automotive customers faced. They needed to change the logistics of their air cargo from China in order consolidate their shipment in one assembly operation. Since the laws in China would prevent this from happening, JAS found a way to work around the issue that would benefit that customer. JAS Brazil along with JAS UK worked together in order to bring the cargo over to London from China and prepare all of the consolidation from that point. From there the shipment could proceed as planned. This project required careful strategy and planning in order to ensure the operation was carried out correctly, safely, and on time. 

Picture
​Therefore, JAS Brazil did not only handle the customers needs, but also were able to create significant savings for our clients through customs brokerage, road transport, and all the taxes they face in Brazil. Adding up to considerable savings. This new configuration on the shipment allowed our customer to receive smaller orders, which in turn allowed them to take care of the demand they faced promptly, satisfying their customers and, in turn, satisfying them. This particular company has been an important customer to JAS Brazil and this operation was the key to opening more doors of opportunity for them and allow them to offer JAS services to other divisions within their company. 

JAS Brazil knows that we must be able to satisfy the financial goals of our customers and take into consideration the current state of the organization and its metrics. Therefore, we are doing various analyses to detect the current and future needs of our customers and to locate the possibilities of any saving we can provide to them. With this knowledge, we have started offering customers options to change their road service from Argentina to ocean shipment and this way we are saving them a total of 10% on the economy costs of their logistics expenses.

Despite the doubts for a better scenario in 2016, what we know is that we have to work together with our customers to understand their needs. Customer satisfaction cannot be improved simply by delivering on time, but by additional solutions that ensure the processes are fully functional. That’s the only way to go through this phase of the current market with a stronger and confident relationship with our clients.
