Can You Benefit From Logistics Business Process Outsourcing?

The idea of outsourcing in the logistics industry is not new. In fact, in many ways freight forwarders and customs brokers are in themselves a form of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO).

BPO is a common method companies turn to for cutting costs, helping their operations run more efficiently, and freeing up time to focus on their core competencies.


After all, is it really the best use of an employee’s time at any company to perform labor intensive back office logistics functions – many of which can be automated with technology or at least managed more efficiently by a team set up and dedicated to the specific task?

How to Use Free Time to Reduce Detention and Demurrage

Free time is the most important cost factor in ocean shipping that most companies ignore.

How so? Not considering free time contributes to unnecessary detention and demurrage costs on up to 25% of ocean freight shipments, according to one of the world’s largest NVOCCs.

This growing issue affects logistics services providers and shippers alike, and is exasperated by the current state of the ocean cargo markets – specifically with regards to the ongoing problem of port congestion.


Free time is a contract line item just like any other fee or surcharge, yet it is rarely considered when making routing decisions. The reason is that it’s hidden in contracts and typically overlooked thanks to all the other everyday complexities of ocean freight rate management – like tracking updates to carrier surcharges and GRIs. Free time is seldom front of mind when ocean rates get calculated and shipments are booked. Yet few of the industry’s 1,300+ ocean surcharges that garner most of the attention can add 11% to a shipment’s cost each day.

RFQs are an interesting thing – how so depends on your perspective. As a freight forwarder issuing a bid, they are actually a chance for you to be the customer for once.

Why Your Freight Shipping Delays from China?

Why Your Freight Shipping Delays from China?


Lots of cargo shipments move from China every single day. There’s always someone waiting on the other side for the shipment to arrive.

Estimated transit time is meant to be as accurate as possible, so that the consignee can know when to expect their cargo and when to arrange a pick up. If it does not arrive as planned, this can create problems both for the shipper and the consignee.

Everyone doesn’t like delay, but when it comes ocean freight transportation, chances are big that you will have some sort of delay at some point that will be completely beyond your control and may be beyond your supplier’s control as well.

As an importer, you hope to know why your shipping delays. Here’s a list of main reasons, some of them you can avoid......
