How freight forwarding can help your business
Freight forwarding services act as an agent to organise shipments for importing and exporting companies that need to deliver cargo from one destination to another destination. Freight forwarders use their networks to optimise the supply chain process and deliver a fast, streamlined and cost effective service to clients. They use various forms of storage and transportation methods including road, air and sea to ensure their clients’ cargo is delivered safely, intact and on time.
As an intermediary, a freight forwarding company might take care of the following on behalf of a client company:
- Strategic decisions regarding transportation, warehousing & distribution.
- Negotiations for contracts, costs and other requirements.
- Administrative tasks including documentation and arranging insurance.
- Coordinating storing and shipment to ensure goods arrive in a timely and secure manner.

Changing business needs and the global supply chain
Whether you’re taking on new customers or moving into new markets, if you’re scaling your business your business needs are always changing. Increasing the size or scope of your customer base or expanding geographically opens opportunities for increased reach and revenue, but if poorly managed can lead to more harm than good.
No matter what types of cargo you’re dealing with, the supply chain management services and consultation you’re receiving may also need to change if you’re unable to meet the quality and punctuality expectations of your clients over time. Regardless of whether your company needs project cargo and bulk cargo or perishable cargo transported, overlooking inefficiencies in your logistics processes can lead to lost, late and damaged goods – all issues that will eventually need to be addressed.
Consulting a freight forwarding company can help resolve these issues.
Choosing the right freight freight forwarders
It can be hard to choose which freight forwarder to go with amidst the endless freight logistics options accessible. Organising supply chain management solutions is a key strategic business decision for a company to make, that can be the difference between late and on-time deliveries and happy and angry customers.
But what really differentiates all the different companies?
In reality, every freight forwarder uses the same select shipping lines and airlines to deliver their services. What truly sets them apart is simply three features:
- The size of their company;
- Quality of employees and;
- Services provided
Regardless of whether your preferred transportation is road freight, air freight or sea freight, a professional freight forwarder is one with the right employees and company culture, that can help you strategically manoeuvre the complex global logistics of international supply chains and streamline the storage and transport aspects of your business.
