Logistics & supply chain

KPIs you are measured on

Top pains and how to handle them

Shipments held for a missing document

Use one file checklist per shipment and confirm what the broker needs before the goods leave.

Delivery terms unclear between buyer and seller

State the agreed Incoterms® rule and named place on the order and the invoice; read the official ICC rules for what each rule covers.

Mode chosen on freight price only

Compare freight cost, transit time and the cost of stock in transit before choosing air, sea, road or rail.
