Facing with high freight, shippers need the help of freight forwarders

Time:2021-08-10 Publisher:Kevin Num:3746

At present, in the freight industry, due to the continuous shortage of containers, the freight is also rising, and many shippers are under great freight pressure.

Recently, many shippers do not go to the actual carrier, but to the NVOCC freight forwarder, which has greatly increased the business volume of many freight forwarders.

DHL Global Forwarding and DSV Panalpina, some of the world's famous freight forwarding companies, have pointed out that this phenomenon is expected to continue until 2022, and the business revenue will be very considerable.

In the first half of this year, many freight forwarding companies had good performance and their profits continued to increase.

Like DHL Global Forwarding just mentioned, its profit increased by 140% over last year to nearly $650 million.

The shipping company is not trustworthy, and the shipper turns to the freight forwarder

Why are more and more shippers handing over goods to freight forwarders? That's because many shipping companies don't abide by the agreement.

No matter how much the shipper paid for the space, he could not book the space because the carrier did not abide by the agreement.

Some freight forwarders said that most of the goods they handled came from shippers who were also related to the carrier before.

Why do shippers trust freight forwarders? Because freight forwarders can help shippers book shipping spaces of multiple shipping companies through their strong network and contacts, shippers can save a lot of time and have strong flexibility.

Like the high-quality freight forwarding members of GLA family, they have established a good cooperative relationship among many carriers and can quickly help shippers book shipping spaces with carriers.

The person in charge of a freight forwarding company said that they attach great importance to the customer's experience and provide a series of services to maintain customers, such as delivering goods as promised.

He also said that in the logistics industry, high-quality service quality is the key, especially now the demand for shipping is increasing, so we should meet the needs of customers to achieve performance growth.

He predicted that the profit margin of the shipping industry will peak again in the future. Although it may not be as high as this year, the profit margin may continue to increase in the future.
