Introduction Whether you talk of processed food or machinery, finding the right logistics partner is a key task for every brand. Without the right logistics partner, your products will not be able to reach the consumer and you risk losing the company’s reputation. So, how do you find the right partner? Here are three key points to consider.

1. The Company’s Capability When you sign up with a logistics provider, you would ideally like a partner you can work with for years. Thus, you need to find a company that has the capability to meet your current needs as well as the logistics needs you may have in the future. Thus, it is important to check the company’s capabilities. Will they be able to handle all the different types of packaging required? Can they provide an end to end service? Will they be able to take care of customs documentation requirements? You also need to check how many countries, the company has a presence in. Today, you may be exporting products only to one neighboring country but tomorrow, you may want to expand your reach to the entire world.

2. The Company’s Customer Service Responsiveness Every company boasts of excellent customer service but don’t take their word for it. Instead, speak to clients who have worked with the company before. Ideally, check with companies in the same industry as yours.
For example, if you are looking for a logistics partner to ship chemicals, you need to speak with other chemical companies that have used the same logistics provider. It isn’t necessary that a company that can ship furniture excellently can also offer the same quality of service for food products. For this reason, it is always best to work with a company that has been recommended by someone you know.

3. The Company’s Safety Record It isn’t enough for your products to reach their destination, they should be delivered without any damage. After all, customers who receive damaged goods are not going to stay loyal to your company. Thus, you need to partner with a logistics service provider that prioritizes safety management. The company needs to be mindful of the processes followed for packing and shipping your products. This becomes even more important when transporting fragile items or items with a very short lifespan. To get an idea of the company’s safety record, you could review their safety ratings and statistics. You can also get an idea of the company’s safety record when you ask former or existing clients for reviews. 06
