Freight forwarding is all about the smooth flow of international trade.
The freight forwarder is the party who ensures that internationally traded goods move from point of origin to point of destination to arrive: At the right place At the right time In good order and condition At the most economic cost
To accomplish this, expertise is required in a number of different areas. Close cooperation is required with transporters in every mode - road, rail, sea and air transportation. Freight forwarders are constantly negotiating freight rates with transport providers, comparing the costs of moving cargo along different routes via different modes and then designing logistics infrastructures which provide the best compromise between cost, speed and reliability. Those involved in this aspect derive continuous interest and motivation from the fact that no two operations are the same, given the diversity of the nature of cargoes that are traded and the increasing numbers of doors being opened through the globalization of world trade. Once a forwarder's recommendations with regard to cargo routing have been accepted it becomes the responsibility of the forwarder to ensure that the goods concerned are transported and delivered as planned. The process of designing and executing these logistics plans has earned the forwarder the title "Architect of Transport".
