Our Solution
The client’s requirements were a perfect fit for Al Sharqi’s Ground Freight services. We provided a comprehensive land freight solution tailored to the client’s needs that included:

- Timely Pickup and Delivery Scheduling: We closely coordinated the pickup and delivery times to align with the customer’s production schedule, ensuring that the casting powder arrived in Doha on time to prevent any disruptions.
