The Challenge

Parts sent to Air Sénégal's MRO at Paris CDG were delivered under bonded customs status by the prior forwarder rather than T1 transit, generating recurring late-redelivery penalties absorbed into transport spend unflagged.

The Solution

Stracker identified the mismatch and switched every CDG-bound shipment to T1 transit clearance handled city-side.

  • Every shipment now clears under T1 transit by default.
  • Documentation is prepared in advance against the MRO's specific receiving requirements.
  • Penalty exposure is tracked shipment by shipment in Stracker360.

The Result

-17% budget Eliminating the mismatch removed late-redelivery penalties, cutting overall transport budget by 17% with no change to the parts or MRO relationship.

“We were paying a penalty every month and calling it a cost of doing business. It turned out to be a paperwork problem with a fix.”
