The Cooperative Logistics Network
A cooperative alliance of hand-picked freight forwarders who work together to grow their businesses and serve their clients worldwide.
In a market dominated by the multinationals, The Cooperative vision is to link together like-minded independent forwarders from all over the world in a freight forwarder network that will give them the tools necessary to compete on a global scale.
The Cooperative Logistics Network is a capped, non-exclusive alliance of hand-picked freight forwarders in each major air/seaport who co-operate in a financially secure environment to reduce costs and risks and grow their businesses by actively working together to compete against the largest multinationals.
On one side are the 10 largest multinationals holding a 44% monopoly of the market and conveniently gaining another 1% each year. Their well-known brands and global appeal ensure that they win the biggest contracts and get the best rates from carriers.
On the other side are independent freight forwarders who lack a global brand and a network of reliable agents, resulting in an inability to bid for the largest contracts and receive better rates from carriers. These forwarders are faced with the prospect of working with unknown agents who rarely send business their way and occasionally break promises. The result of which is dissatisfied customers and some unpaid invoices.
