logistics companies and suppliers
The 2015 edition features significant changes which bring ISO 9001 firmly into the 21st century. ISO 9001:2015 is less prescriptive than its predecessor, focusing instead on performance. Launched in September, it replaces previous editions and certification bodies will have up to three years to migrate certificates to the new version.
CONQUEROR would like to congratulate CQR Hong Kong on its quick transition to the new high standard of ISO 9001:2015 – it is a tremendous achievement for the team and shows that they already were and are ahead of their competitors in their operations and professionalism.

CQR Bangkok, is pushing ahead with electronic air cargo operations after beginning their transition to e-AWBs earlier this year and is now sending 400 to 500 AWBs per month electronically
“Continuous engagement with airlines on a local level is an important factor, as airline headquarters may be ready but that doesn’t mean their local offices are,” said Keree Chaichanavong, managing director of TAC.
“Selecting the right technology partner is vital, it’s one thing to begin sending electronic data, and it’s a further step to go paperless as per the IATA Resolution 672,” he added. The first step was to get connected and begin transmitting data to all of its airline partners. Next TAC engaged with each locally to coordinate the switch to full e-AWB.
“We selected WIN as our technology provider due to their airline coverage, experience in helping independent forwarders make the switch to e-AWB, ease of use, and proactive support. By using WIN to transmit electronic master and house AWB data to airlines, we save money and get full tracking.
“WIN has full coverage with 90 airlines so we have a single process and in Thailand WIN has implemented a connection with Bangkok Flight Services, the leading ground handler, to automatically update actual weights in the system from the warehouse receipt.”
CONQUEROR would like to congratulate the TAC team on these developments and we invite members with shipments in Bangkok to contact the team.

Logistics Industry
Q. Can you tell us a little about the history of Lozen Management Logistics and when you joined?
A. Well with more of 15 years of experience, Cynthia Lozano and Jose Luis Encina decided it was time to start their own company. In the beginning, there was just a small team of three who worked hard to get the company a market position. After growing the business for six years, the company moved to larger offices and currently we are a team of 20 across 3 offices, our main one being in Monterrey and the others in Queretaro, Qto. and Laredo, Texas.
Q. Does your company specialise in any particular kind of shipment?
A. We are a global 3PL, specializes in managing unique reliable and complete services on land, ocean and air.
Q. What would be the most significant shipment your company has handled?
A. At the beginning of this year, we moved over 20,700.00MT of steel coils, handling ocean and delivery in Mexico. It was a challenge to get the break bulk space and negotiate storage at the terminal as the consignee didn’t have the space to receive and unload them all at once. It was definitely a challenging and all-consuming consignment, but our team managed it successfully.
Q. What are the main challenges facing freight forwarders in Mexico at the moment and how is the industry tackling these challenges?
A. Trying to keep our customers satisfied. There are so many freight forwarders right now that the market is overcrowded, competition is fierce with price wars rife as everyone is looking for a better rate. We are all negotiating with our carriers to get the best deal to keep our partners and clients.
Q. How is Lozen Management specifically dealing with these challenges on a daily basis?
A. We try to go the extra mile on each shipment; we keep them not just with a good rate, but also with an excellent custom-made. This is what makes us different and why our customers return.
Q. Does Lozen Management LOGISTICS have any significant plans in the immediate future?
A. Our plans on short terms are to open another office in Merida and to be an IATA Agent.
Q. What are Lozen Management Logistics’ longer term plans?
A. We are getting ready to become a NEEC Company (New scheme of Certified Companies), which is a program that looks at strengthening security in the supply chain abroad. We are also looking to join the Transport and Logistics Cluster in Monterrey as an advisor.
