An ICAT Logistics Case Study Satellite Supply Chain Alignment

When a customer needed time-sensitive, oversized satellite equipment moved across the world, they called on ICAT Logistics to get the shipment to its destination on time.

The Problem

One Call

Satellite equipment plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless communication and data transmission, and shipping this equipment across the globe is no small feat. Often being time-critical, high value, and complex, these shipment processes can easily be disrupted. A satellite company reached out to ICAT for help transporting their time-sensitive equipment from Texas to Australia.


The Solution

Given the challenges of coordinating the arrival of the satellite with the Field Technicians, hauling an oversized load, and managing Duty Delivery Paid (DDP) obligations, effective planning and communication was essential for the entire process to go smoothly. With these non-negotiable requirements, the ICAT Logistics team immediately took action, providing full-service logistics services from start to finish.


The Results

Done!

The satellite was successfully delivered to its destination and seamlessly arranged to arrive at the same time as the Field Technicians as they installed and connected the systems. Throughout the entire shipping journey, the ICAT team ensured uninterrupted coordination and provided a seamless transition all the way from shipment to final installation.
