Industrial Raw Material Solutions

SF focuses on the industrial raw materials industry characterized by bulk-dominated transportation, bulk centralized procurement and deployment, high cost sensitivity, significant supply and demand fluctuations, as well as the industry's low-carbon transformation and demand for eco-efficient operations. SF addresses the industry’s dual priorities of stable supply assurance and sustainable development with a tailored smart supply chain solution covering raw material sourcing & inbound factory delivery, intelligent warehousing and stacking, intensive line haul allocation, factory JIT replenishment, and recycling and circular utilization of surplus materials. SF practices the low-carbon concept through digital and intelligent consolidated transportation, green warehousing management and circular packaging reuse, driving coordinated improvements in supply chain digitalization, operational intensification and decarbonization.

Solution Advantages

Origin-to-Hub Consolidation: Build a Consolidated, High-Efficiency Line-Haul Network for Bulk Raw Materials

Leveraging origin pre-warehousing and hub clusters, SF integrates railway, highway and intermodal transportation resources to form the main logistics corridor of “origin cargo consolidation — hub distribution — direct factory delivery”. Through large-scale FTL delivery, direct line haul and intelligent terminal routing, SF reduces transshipment and cross-docking costs, lower cost per ton-kilometer, compresses transit lead time, and secures steady, cost-effective and high-volume raw material supply. This enables large-scale aggregation and cross-regional direct delivery of industrial raw materials, achieving overall cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Digital-Intelligent Transport: Damage Reduction, On-Time Delivery & Full Traceability

SF has built a digital and intelligent transportation management system featuring AI-driven intelligent route planning, dynamic capacity matching and real-time in-transit fleet dispatching. All vehicles are fitted with IoT devices to monitor key cargo parameters: location, temperature, cargo vibration and unbalance loading in real time. The unified end-to-end supply chain visibility platform provides full oversight across order, waybill, inventory and shipment movement throughout the order life cycle. This delivers transparent and controllable transportation operations, early anomaly detection and intervention, and precise on-time arrival performance, thereby minimizing in-transit damage and stock out risks, enabling JIT feeding for production lines, and delivering fully digitalized, dependable raw material transportation.

Green Fleets & New Energy: Powering Dual Carbon Goals

Tailored for bulk line haul and in-plant shuttle scenarios, new energy vehicles are gradually phasing out traditional fuel-powered vehicles. SF promotes the use of recyclable pallets, rain covers and protective frames to reduce disposable consumables. Leveraging its“Fenghe” carbon management platform, SF achieves waybill-level carbon footprint calculation and quantifiable emission reduction tracking, enabling customers to fulfill ESG disclosure requirements and hit carbon emission reduction targets. While securing stable supply and reducing costs, SF significantly lowers supply chain carbon emissions, supporting green manufacturing and sustainable development.

Customer Cases
A steel-sector customer accomplished its low-carbon transition with SF's digital and intelligent low-carbon supply chain solution

To tackle the customer's problems — limited scope remains for further cost optimization via diesel-powered transport, fragmented multi-vendor management and inconsistent service benchmarks, excessive carbon emissions under the dual carbon policy, and volatile logistics timeliness, SF built a tailored product transportation network with a layered transportation model. SF deployed new energy heavy trucks in batches for short-to-medium haul transportation scenarios, implemented the SFT Smart Suite System for end-to-end digital management and control, adopted a self-operated drivers + on-site management model to unify service standards, and built a circular logistics system by integrating backhaul cargo volumes of scrap steel and infrastructure materials. After project implementation, the customer's operating costs decreased by 15.6%, on-time delivery rate improved to 100%, and annual direct carbon emissions were reduced by 2,500 tons. SF has become its exclusive designated logistics provider and secured 80% of its transportation volume.
