Geo political events have once again put the supply chain world into disruption and tail spin. Air and sea freight rates amongst others are high - almost at covid levels and no one would have predicted this a few months ago. Booking space on carriers is also a big challenge freight forwarders are facing, there are always fluctuations in cycles and right now we are in a cycle where demand is exceeding supply in terms of availability of space on carriers. The customer is feeling this the most, experiencing operational costs exceeding an increase of 30 per cent and months of delay.
The question to be asked - is your commercial team up to the challenge? Do they have commitment, speed and experience being invested into the right channels and relationships? Their performance, approach and skills will make a massive difference to how a freight forwarding business weathers the storm.
