The Challenge
Parts sent to Air Sénégal's MRO facility at Paris CDG were delivered under bonded customs status by the previous freight forwarder rather than under T1 transit, resulting in recurring late-delivery penalties that were absorbed into transportation costs without being flagged.
The Solution
Stracker identified the discrepancy and switched every shipment bound for CDG to T1 transit clearance processed at the city terminal.
- Every shipment is now cleared under T1 transit by default.
- Documentation is prepared in advance in accordance with the MRO's specific receiving requirements.
- Penalty exposure is tracked on a shipment-by-shipment basis in Stracker360.
The Result
-17% budget: Eliminating the mismatch eliminated late-delivery penalties, reducing the overall transportation budget by 17% without changing the parts or MRO arrangements.

“We were paying a penalty every month and treating it as a cost of doing business. It turned out to be a paperwork issue that could be fixed.”
