What are the benefits of diversifying your transport providers? Relying on a single transport provider may seem convenient, but it can expose your business to unnecessary risks. Diversifying your transport providers can offer several key advantages that help keep your logistics running smoothly: ➡ Risk Reduction By working with multiple providers, you spread the risk. If one provider faces delays, capacity issues, or even a strike, you have other options to keep your deliveries on track. ➡ Competitive Pricing Diversifying allows you to compare rates and choose the best options for each shipment, ensuring you always get competitive pricing without sacrificing service quality. ➡ Specialized Solutions Different providers may offer unique strengths - some specialize in express deliveries, others in handling sensitive or oversized cargo. Having a diverse range of partners gives you access to the right expertise for every shipment. At EVO Transport, we work with over 1,500 trusted subcontractors across Europe, ensuring that we can always find the best solution for your transport needs. By partnering with multiple providers, we ensure flexibility, reliability, and competitive pricing for our clients. How do you manage your transport providers? Do you rely on one or spread the risk?

As we look ahead to 2024-25, several key indicators can help us determine when the freight recession is easing: 📈 Freight Rates: Stabilisation or increase in freight rates suggests demand is picking up, allowing carriers to charge more. 📦 Freight Volume: An increase in freight volumes reported by transportation companies and ports indicates industry recovery. 🚚 Capacity Utilisation: Higher utilisation of available transportation capacity (trucks, ships, and trains) suggests increased demand and potential recovery. 💼 Financial Health: Improvement in the financial results of major freight companies, including revenue growth and profitability, suggests a positive market shift. Explore how Stelno Group can be your strategic partner in transforming your freight shipping and successfully navigating the ongoing freight recession. #stelnogroup #logisticservices #supplychain #airfreight #seafreight #peakperformer #peakbusiness

There is no doubting that there are more small and medium size #forwarders than there are large and global. There are many differences we can point out between any two orgs but the biggest hurdle I see for the small forwarders is being able to invest in tech and maintain their investment so that the tech makes the intended impact on the business. Churn will always be there. But the difference between small and large orgs is that when the large organizations are integrating new tech into the flows they anticipate and plan for a long term partnership. From a sales POV we are always cognizant of churn. I like to look at the behaviors on both sides of the fence. While there are many differing reasons why customers churn, I tend to find more often than not, that they churn because there’s no space in the budget. Running a small business is hard. I know revenues can vary from month to month. If we don’t make space in our lives and businesses for the long term success of ourselves and businesses there will never be space. Doing what is comfortable for the short term is not sustainable for the future and the landscape is changing fast. How are your teams adapting with the new tools on the market?

ECOMMERCE SELLERS: ARE YOU CONVERTING ALL OF THE ODERS? WHY NOT? There are lots of reasons why international buyers may abandon the shopping cart when they should be checking out. Here are the top three reasons: 1) High Shipping Costs and Uncertainty Shipping internationally can be expensive, and unexpected high costs at checkout are a major deterrent. Additionally, unclear or long delivery timelines lead to uncertainty, prompting consumers to abandon their carts. 2) Lack of Clear Pricing and Duties Information International consumers may face confusion about the final price due to unclear information about taxes, duties, or currency conversion. Unexpected additional fees, like import duties, when checking out or receiving the product can cause them to abandon their purchases. 3) Limited or Inadequate Payment Options Not offering preferred or locally available payment methods can prevent international shoppers from completing transactions. Many international customers prefer to use specific payment gateways, digital wallets, or bank transfers that might not be available on U.S.-based platforms. Each of these issues can be easily remediated, reducing abandoned carts and increasing sales and revenue. #ecommerce #internationalecommerce #crossborder #internationalshipping #customerexperience #goglobal

UK Brexit trade checks will hit businesses hard, with one estimating costs of up to £225,000 annually. From now on, items like meat, dairy, plants, and seeds imported from the EU to the UK will undergo physical inspections. These trade checks are likely to impact smaller companies the most, leading to potential price increases for certain products. According to John Davidson, co-owner of Tom Brown Wholesale, his flower business anticipates yearly costs of £200,000 to £225,000 due to these checks.

10 Costly Mistakes Importers Make—Are You Guilty of Any? Global trade can unlock massive growth, but even the most seasoned importers can stumble into pitfalls that derail success. Did you know that over 50% of shipment delays stem from avoidable errors? Here are 10 common mistakes that could be costing you time and money—and how to avoid them. 1.    Ignoring Compliance Standards   Non-compliance = fines, delays, and frustration. Solution: Trusted Importer of Record (IOR) services ensure smooth compliance globally. 2.    Incomplete Documentation   Missing paperwork can halt shipments. Solution: Verify documents twice—or work with an expert. 3.    Misclassifying Products   Wrong tariff codes = higher duties. Solution: Partner with a customs broker for accuracy. 4.    Overlooking Local Import Restrictions   Each country has unique restrictions. Solution: Research and verify regulations beforehand. 5.    Underestimating Duties & Taxes   Surprise costs derail budgets. Solution: Calculate in advance to avoid nasty surprises. 6.    Picking the Wrong Incoterms   Who’s responsible for what? Solution: Choose terms aligned with your business goals. 7.    No Contingency for Delays   Delays are inevitable. Solution: Build in time buffers to your logistics plan. 8.    Missing Licenses or Permits   One missing license = shipment stuck. Solution: Verify all licenses early. 9.    Skipping Supplier Due Diligence   A bad supplier can ruin operations. Solution: Vet and audit your supply chain regularly. 10. Lack of Shipment Visibility No tracking = blind spots in your supply chain. Solution: Invest in advanced logistics tracking tools. Avoid these mistakes, and you’ll not only save time and money but also gain a competitive edge in global trade. What’s your biggest challenge as an importer?

Homebase UK 🇬🇧 has fallen victim to the perfect storm of challenges: post-pandemic decline in #consumerconfidence, persistent high #inflation, #globalsupplychaindisruptions, and unseasonable #weather. #Globalsupplychaindisruptions, such as longer transit times via the #CapeofGoodHope and ongoing #portcongestion, may have severely impacted Homebase DIY stores. These challenges are particularly damaging if inventory levels were already running low, highlighting the critical importance of timely supply in retail operations. #Unseasonableweather, for example experiencing colder temperatures in summer or excessive rain during a typically dry season, often impacts businesses like #retail and #agriculture, as consumer behavior and supply chains can be affected by these anomalies. Homebase UK 🇬🇧 episode is another stark reminder of how external forces can reshape the retail landscape. Comments most welcome. #Homebase #supplychaindusruptions #climatechange #retail #UK

Can Shein Buy Their Way Into The UK? Information has leaked that Shein is looking for a 300,000 to 600,000 sq ft warehouse in the UK. They have engaged with JLL and Savills and currently have 10 properties they are reviewing. Setting up the warehouse would be a gateway for them to file their IPO on the London Stock Exchange (reported to be around the 50B pound mark). Shein is hoping that establishing a warehouse in the UK (they have confirmed they are looking to establish sites worldwide) would calm the dissent from politicians and human rights organizations in the country that feel their lack of transparency, business model and environmental impact should support rejecting their IPO filing. Do you think establishing operating facilities in other countries gives Shein a better position in the market?

Here's number two of the top 10 mistakes I've witnessed e-commerce businesses make. Overstocking Unecessarily. Whilst it is very tempting to buy things in container loads, to obtain the best economies of scale, I have seen this supply strategy be the undoing of a perfectly great business concept. One of my customers waited so long for their ‘seasonal’ stock to arrive that it was out of season by the time she could fulfil it. Wholesalers cancelled orders in bucket loads because she couldn’t get the product to them in time. She wished she’d paid more and bought in the UK because, in her words, ‘at least I’d still have a business’. Always compare local manufacturers - yes, even here in Blighty - with those overseas. The production runs will often be less, the lead times lower, the delivery and storage costs considerably less and as a result your business has more agility – and more control. Stressing about the Suez Canal being blocked again or international supply chain disruption really isn't fun, and isn’t necessary either in lots of markets. #EcommerceTips #SupplyChainManagement #BusinessMistakes #LocalSourcing #InventoryManagement #EcommerceStrategy #BusinessAgility #SuezCanal #UKManufacturing #RetailManagement

UNDERSTANDING PREFERENTIAL ORIGIN IN EXPORTS Understanding Preferential Origin in Exports: What’s the Difference? Navigating international trade can be complex, especially when it comes to understanding Origin vs. Preferential Origin. Origin: Refers to where your goods are made. For instance, 'Made in the UK' means the product’s origin is the UK. Preferential Origin: Determines if your goods qualify for reduced tariffs under specific trade agreements. Just because something is made in the UK doesn't automatically mean it qualifies for these benefits. It must meet the specific rules outlined in trade agreements. Certificate of Origin: This official document, usually issued by a Chamber of Commerce, verifies where your goods come from. It's essential for customs and compliance with sanctions, but it doesn’t automatically grant preferential treatment unless the goods meet the specific criteria of the relevant trade agreement. Understanding these distinctions is vital for avoiding trade pitfalls and leveraging benefits. Mastering these aspects can significantly benefit your trade operations, making the process smoother and more cost-effective.

UK launches £8m fund to accelerate smart shipping The UK government has launched an £8m Smart Shipping Acceleration Fund to advance the use of automation and AI in shipping. Funding will be used for feasibility studies to encourage the development of new technologies and the refining of existing systems, such as self-driving boats or ports using automated systems. The move is intended to boost the economy and support coastal communities, while also forming part of the government’s broader plan to decarbonise shipping, especially through use of advanced technologies. Lord Davies, maritime minister, said: “Using AI and cutting-edge technology to make boats smarter and transform port operations is part of our plan to decarbonise shipping, enhance safety for our seafarers and help grow the economy. #shipping #logistics #ukgov #supplychains #portoperations

Our TMS is built on the latest frameworks which are actually carbon neutral. Our server infrastructure runs on green energy. The user experience has been designed for none freight people to work and understand. You just need one screen not 3, you don't need servers on premises or remote desktops to access. You don't need any IT support to run our system. We got Glen Tapper who designed the front end, to build a seafreight job with only the equipment type/weights etc and where it needs to be collected and delivered. He only asked 2 questions whats a 20GP and where do I find the port codes. From quotation to invoicing the job took 5 minutes. Glen has never worked in freight. Want to find out more book a demo via my profile.

The biggest takeaway in my opinion in doing business with each other; it’s not your tech and the solutions it may offer, it’s not the size of your warehouse or how many orders you will fulfill in a month, nor the size of your fleet or if you can offer me a 100 loads a day…it’s simply trust. I trust you will do everything to work out the fine details. I trust you and I will invest energy and time into the operation. I trust you and I will make sure payment terms are satisfied. I trust you and I will scale together with respect and honesty. Brokers, shippers, carriers, logistics firms, can all promise the world, but can they deliver? Please scale responsibly….. Trust is key 🔑 My take for a hot Monday - love my network keep it up! #monday #vibes #opentonetwork #ilovebuilding #business #logistics #partnerships
