Chain-of-Custody
Every handoff documented — from your despatch bay to the consignee receiving dock.
General freight carriers are built for volume, not precision. Here is the structural difference that protects your components, your calibrations, and your OEM relationships.
| Requirement | Standard Carrier | DNS Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Handling & Transit Protection | Cargo handled at 3–5 intermediate hubs before delivery. | ✓Direct A-to-B sealed container routing — zero calibration-shift risk. |
| Same-Day Air Cargo | Ad-hoc bookings bumped at peak season. | ✓Pre-booked space, guaranteed uplift — 9.5hr Coimbatore → Delhi. |
| Chain-of-Custody Docs | Standard POD only, no timestamped handling records. | ✓Full chain-of-custody at every handoff — audit-trail compliant. |
| Cut-Off Time | Miss the 4pm window, cargo waits until next day. | ✓Zero cut-off — book and dispatch any hour, 365 days a year. |
| Transit Damage Rate | 2–4% from multi-terminal rehandling and co-loading. | ✓0.05% — sealed direct containers, zero terminal handling. |
| Abiding SLA | Best-effort transit, no contractual commitment. | ✓Corridor-specific SLAs with proactive escalation. |
| Emergency Escalation | No protocol — source an alternate provider yourself. | ✓Auto-escalates PTL → Air Express → JIT NFO before impact. |
| GST & Eway Compliance | Manual Eway generation causes checkpoint delays. | ✓Auto-generated GSTN-validated Eway bills — zero checkpoint delays. |
