Logistics & Shipping

Logistics & Shipping Coordination

Shipping is a continuation of the procurement process. We coordinate with selected logistics providers on consolidation, cargo readiness, shipping documentation and handover requirements based on the agreed Incoterms and contract scope.

When it fits

When logistics coordination adds value

You need consolidation of goods from multiple suppliers into fewer shipments.

Cargo is ready but documentation keeps causing delays at origin or destination.

You want a defined handover record instead of ambiguous responsibilities.

You need a logistics partner who understands procurement timelines, not just freight rates.

    Handover records document what moved, when and under which terms.

Honest boundaries

Logistics boundaries

  • We coordinate with logistics providers — freight services are executed by licensed carriers and forwarders.
  • Incoterms and importer-of-record responsibilities are defined per shipment; we clarify, not assume.
  • We do not quote freight rates as guarantees; quotations are obtained from selected providers for your approval.

Frequently asked questions

Can you arrange mixed supplier shipments?

Yes — consolidation planning is a core part of this service, coordinating cargo readiness across suppliers into combined shipments where it saves cost or time.

Who is importer of record?

The importer of record is determined by Incoterms and the contract for each shipment. We document the position in the handover plan.

Which Incoterms can be supported?

Common terms such as EXW, FOB, CIF, DAP and others can be supported; the applicable term is agreed per shipment and reflected in documentation.
