Deconsolidation is the process of unloading a consolidated shipment and separating it into individual consignments for onward delivery. It usually takes place at a container freight station or warehouse near the port or airport of arrival. Each consignment is then delivered to its own consignee or destination. Why it matters for your supply chain: Deconsolidation lets you benefit from the lower cost of consolidated shipping while still delivering goods to multiple locations.
