Why Us
Hiring Shipping Consultants The concept of hiring consultants as opposed to contractors can be a bit confusing. Consultants are considered to be the quick problem solvers for larger companies and are meant to be used for large projects or on-going support for a particular aspect of the business. Shipping consultants specifically are advocates for companies that rely on transporting freight. Shipping consultants audit, negotiate and facilitate shipping relationships with freight forwarders and carriers.
The Benefits of Consultants
The benefits of consultants are numerous but not always transparent. Consultants are there as a sounding board for ideas, where their experience with problem-solving and knowledge of the market goes above and beyond just the normal quick-fix strategy. They are responsible for delivering their targets and goals for the project, and frequently work in teams.
As shipping consultants we can review your invoices to determine where opportunities exist to save you money on your shipping rates.
Superior Technology
Often times, this requires the team to create technology or methodology specific to the company’s needs. Consultants think in terms of milestones, whereas contractors think in terms solving the problem in a specific amount of time. With this in mind, consultants are the ones there to holistically solve challenges, like making pipelines run smoother, whereas contractors are there strictly to fix a specific leak.
