Frequently asked
What does a 3PL arrangement look like?
We take over defined logistics functions - typically inbound freight, storage and distribution - under a service agreement with agreed KPIs and reporting.
Is cargo insurance really necessary?
Carrier liability covers only a fraction of cargo value. Insurance is strongly recommended, and we can arrange it at the same time as your freight booking.
Can you advise before we commit to a trade lane?
Yes - route planning and landed-cost analysis are designed exactly for that stage, before money is committed.
