Supply Chain Management Today

Supply chain management has evolved from its original purpose. Once, a warehousing firm would receive stock, manage it, and send it along as per the requirements of clients. Today they are more involved with their clients. They have a relationship and are proactive about helping clients be better at what they do.

The Job Of A Freight Forwarder

There are many legs to the journey of international freight. Even if a load just crosses a single border by truck, there are documents to handle at customs. Perhaps that border was crossed at sea, meaning the shipping needs of a client have become even more complicated.

Domestic and international logistics can be equally challenging. It all depends on what a freight forwarder has to move, but he can handle the job. It's what he does all the time. A freight forwarder will take a shipment from Canada to England or the United States to New Zealand by sea or by air in the safest way possible, but also as economically as he can manage for the good of his client.
