Freight Forwarders

Freight Forwarder is a party in logistics activity whose main role is connecting "Carriers" with "Customers".

Why Freight Forwarders are important?

  • Small customers with small quantity of product can't easily buy booking directly from carriers. They need Forwarders to help them deal with this case.
  • Using services from forwarders help customers to reduce logistics fee because forwarders help them find best route with best price. Furthermore, forwarders will collect goods from many customers into a shipment to help them reduce the transportation fee.

What Forwarders provide?

Besides finding best transportation solutions for customers, Freight Forwarders also provide some of these services:

  • Custom Clearance.
  • Documentation such as Bill of Lading, C/O, C/Q, import-export license.
  • Storage services...

An Overview about the issues of SCS's system

SCS, a logistics company with 500 staff and a global network of agents, provides comprehensive logistics solutions, resulting in a large volume of daily paperwork. To save time and reduce operating costs, SCS has embarked on digital transformation.

The old freight management software could not handle large data volumes during business expansion, was difficult to customize, and had an unattractive interface. Additionally, it lacked an end-to-end automation system for streamlining business processes. Therefore, SotaFMS solution was launched that has effectively resolved these issues.
