End-to-End Supply Chain Management & Value-Added Solutions

In today's fast-paced international trade environment, successful freight forwarding requires far more than moving physical cargo across borders. SOHO Shipping & Logistics LLC provides specialized Value-Added Services (VAS) designed to optimize supply chain performance, minimize administrative overhead, and guarantee full compliance with Saudi Arabian import regulations.

Headquartered in Jubail's industrial heartland, our logistics specialists handle complex regulatory, technical, and operational requirements for international buyers, EPC contractors, and global manufacturers operating in Saudi Arabia.

1. Inbound Purchase Order (PO) Management & Visibility

Managing multi-vendor international procurement across diverse geographic origins often results in operational delays and untracked landed costs. SOHO Shipping offers an intuitive, modular Purchase Order Management platform tailored for inbound supply chain flows.

• Supplier Coordination: Direct milestone tracking with overseas vendors to enforce production deadlines and shipping schedules.
• Cargo Consolidation: Strategic grouping of multi-supplier orders at origin hubs to optimize ocean container and air freight space utilization.
• Milestone Event Alerts: Proactive notification system that alerts procurement managers to critical supply chain events, enabling pre-emptive corrective action.

2. Regulatory Compliance & Saudi Technical Approvals

Navigating Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) import standards requires specialized regulatory knowledge. SOHO Shipping provides complete administrative facilitation for government portal registrations and technical documentation.

• SABER & SASO Certification: Complete end-to-end guidance for registering regulated products on the SABER portal, issuing Product Certificates of Conformity (PCoC), and obtaining Shipment Certificates of Conformity (SCoC).

• Industrial Duty Exemption: Assisting industrial facilities and certified project contractors in securing duty-free import approval for qualifying capital goods and machinery.
