Civic Global possesses 3 brands that needed planning and organization with their imports .
Client information: Chief operator, Felipe Monsalve, has been supervising for 4 years Civic Global’s imports. This company is a digital marketing organization that started 5 years ago with their Youtube channel.
Challenges: Plan and organize imports for their 3 major brands. “En volá”, “Quema” and “Fauna”. They needed to centralize all of their operations in one platform, facilitating work, reducing emails and managing documents.
Solution: Civic Global, having three brands, saw the need to find a Freight Forwarder as it had a greater volume of operations. The help provided by KLog made it possible to boost the business, streamline the logistics process, and optimize the work and sales of the brand.
Civic Global is a digital marketing agency dedicated to the marihuana industry in Chile. They also offer a logistic service, delivering products to sales points and keeping stable prices.
Their main business is to create digital content for different brands connecting them with communities and consumers. In 2018 Simón Espinosa (33) realized that his blog was becoming increasingly popular, therefore he decided to bring his own products and begin selling them.
Initially this business started in an informal and independent way, collaborating with grow shops where he offered his products. As sales started to increase, one of his first brands was born: Quema.
Before starting to import with KLog.co in 2018, all of their operations were made by cargo couriers worth under 500USD. As sales started growing this system became unprofitable, their monthly operations increased and they had to look for a bigger freight forwarder. Today they bring more than 30 pallets a year.
Felipe Monsalve, Civic Globals chief operator says that it was very hard for him to trace his products and he couldn’t optimize and sustain operations, mainly because of the lack of centralization offered, analogous processes and little to none information received from his courier. The ongoing success of Civic Global, made Felipe's work increasingly more difficult to manage. They planned marketing strategies according to estimated dates of product arrivals. Therefore knowing these dates became extremely necessary.
"What I most stand out of KLogs team is the significant follow-through that my Sales Executive does. She is constantly watching out for our new imports, keeps us up to date with estimate arrivals and lets us know for any restrictions and requirements. She has been there since the beginning, we know she cares for us beyond our logistics".

One of the most used tools by Felipe, it allows him to track his operations in real time. This has given him the opportunity to plan his products' arrival and offer his clients on time before possible stock break.
