Capital Shipping takes the first step of their strategic plan to digitize their services

Posted on 15 January, 2021 | by admin

This will position their company in a higher level of competition and will boost their brand awareness

Capital Shipping, a Coop member in Amman, Jordan, has embarked on a digital transformation by initiating a strategic plan to digitize their services in order to position them at a higher level that will enable them to offer upgraded services as well as improve their skills to meet the freight forwarder’s market needs. The first step of this plan is to provide their clients with a digital ability to compare rates from the main shipping lines within a couple of clicks.

“Digital transformation is the future of a successful business and providing digital tools to simplify operational activities is a must in a fast-changing world. Therefore, taking this approach does not only get our company and brand to the top levels of the competition but it will also enhance our image and will put us as a trustworthy logistic partner to be proud of”, states Khalid Al-Homaidi, Capital Shipping’s General Manager.

To do so, the first step of Capital Shipping’s plan has been the launch of a new pricing tool service for easy comparison of shipping line prices through their website portal. “This tool aims to allow our clients and partners view three different shipping line rates within a couple of clicks, making it easier to check the transportation cost of major carriers efficiently, with a clear comparison of transit time among carriers. This service will surely have a huge benefit of giving price indications for cargo movement planning and logistics decision making, which will reduce effort, work, and time to our clients”, states Ahmad Othman, Business Development Manager at Capital Shipping.

Additionally, as part of their marketing strategy, Capital Shipping is also planning to promote their wide range of logistics services which will highlight their professional level of service and will broaden the scope of their logistic services’ reach to more diverse clients.

We invite members to have a look at their new portal and the video they have put together to introduce this digital service!

Congratulations to Capital Shipping and wishing them the best for the future!

The Cooperative Logistics Network surpasses 300 members!

Posted on 3 December, 2020 | by admin

The Cooperative Logistics Network has set a new coverage record by adding its 300^th agent. One major factor contributing to this growth is the fact that all members have had to pass a rigorous selection process, so only forwarders of the highest standards are part of the network.

“I am very excited about the sharp rise in the number of our members which is even more worthwhile bearing in mind the pandemic and the crumbling economy worldwide. As I see it, our key to success is the quality of the network, which wouldn’t be possible if we did not count with such reliable and qualified members. Since the very first moment, there has been a fantastic personal and professional relationship among them, which has surely contrinuted to their cooperation within the network. That is why I would like to thank all of them for their trust throughout these years, and even more in these difficult moments”, says Antonio Torres, the President and Founder of The Cooperative Logistics Network.

This increase had a role to play in the outstanding success of the Virtual Meeting of 2020 and the record attendance of The Coop’s Annual Meeting in 2019 where more than 180 freight forwarders met at Abu Dhabi. Additionally it undoubtedly demonstrates the efficiency, cooperation among partners, productiveness, and expediency of the network which has been operational for the last 5 years.

The Coop is also the first international freight forwarding network with global coverage to launch instant quoting ability for its members. FreightViewer – a member-exclusive transport management software – enables the members to instantly create professional and accurate door-to-door quotations by establishing an automated data transfer of carrier rates and tariffs. This year, The Cooperative has taken a step forward with the enhancements of this TMS by establishing agreements with some of the most prominent shipping solutions providers in the market.

Mr. Torres further adds, “Our team always strives for more and better services, in order to provide members with the most innovative advantages – firstly, through our efforts to improve our TMS – FreightViewer and secondly, with the wide array of logistics and marketing tools. This year, for example, we have created a new personalized online brochure for members and we have launched our blog.”

The Cooperative Logistics Network is presently represented by 305 independent freight forwarders from 130 countries spanning all five continents.

New logistics network reports applicants abound: Marinelink.com

Posted on 22 October, 2014 | by admin

The Cooperative Logistics Network launched with the promise to applicants of a six-month free trial in exchange for registering attendance at its first annual meeting next May. According to the network, hundreds of applications are being received weekly.

Founder, Antonio Torres, explained, “Attendance at the first annual meeting is the best way for agents to kick-start their membership. From our experience in the networking industry, we have found that attendance at annual meetings is crucial to ensuring any members’ success; it’s a proven fact that members who attend increase their business.”

Torres continued, “Agents work with people they have formed relationships with – this is true of any industry. I believe that the best freight forwarders understand the importance of meeting in person and so those applicants who say no to attending do not have a genuine interest in developing a worldwide network of agents and, therefore, are not for us.”

The Coop team has been studying and whittling down the number of applicants to a block of 100 founding members which will be unveiled when the network has its operational launch on December 1, 2014.
