Freight forwarders act as the link between the client in need of cargo transport and the recipient of the goods. Typically, a freight forwarding company provides these transport services using its partner network. This translates into a high degree of flexibility in the process, giving clients access to various ways of transporting goods, including road, rail, air, and sea.

Freight forwarding companies constantly audit and validate their transport partners. This means clients always have access to quality, diverse transport services offered at sustainable prices for the entire logistics process. The experience gained with each client is used to identify the most efficient routes (time/cost) or find new transport solutions for repetitive routes.

The large volume of routes performed both locally and internationally allows a freight forwarding company to successfully understand and interconnect all the actors in the logistics flow: producer, intermediary, and end customer. This optimizes logistics costs, a benefit that is fairly distributed throughout the entire economic circuit.

A freight forwarding company offers value-added services such as:

• Cost optimization for transport: the type of transport used, assistance in creating transport documentation, customs support;
• Cargo insurance: transport is conducted safely, with goods insured at competitive costs;
• Solutions tailored to the client’s needs: the specificity of the requested route is thoroughly understood, and a mix of transport services that can ensure the highest standards for delivering goods is sought;
• Dedicated assistance: from documentation to operational decisions, a freight forwarding company provides the accumulated experience to the client.
