Sound familiar?

The shipping market changes all the time, and it is hard to know whether today's setup is still the best one. Without someone to ask, shipping easily becomes more expensive and complicated than it needs to be.

What is logistics advice?

Logistics advice is support with questions about how a company transports, packs and delivers its goods. It can cover choice of carrier and shipping service, shipping costs, customs, packaging and how the shipping flow should be organised.

What is the difference between logistics advice and a logistics consultant?

A logistics consultant is often hired for a defined project at an hourly rate. Shiplink's advice is ongoing everyday support, linked to the shipments you actually book.

What questions can I get help with?

For example choice of carrier and service, delivery times, shipping costs, packaging, international shipping and customs, integrations and how to automate your shipping flow.

How much help do I get with customs?

All customers get guidance on customs questions. If you need more in-depth customs support, it is included in the Fraktavdelning price plan.

How can advice lower our shipping costs?

By choosing the right service for each shipment, packing efficiently and avoiding surcharges, you can often lower costs without reducing delivery quality.

Is the advice suitable for both small and large companies?

Yes. We help everyone from companies sending a few parcels a week to companies with large volumes of parcels, pallets and general cargo.

Logistics advice for businesses

How to get shipping that supports growth

Shipping affects costs, customer experience and how much time your team spends on administration. Yet many companies lack someone who knows the shipping market and can help them make the right decisions. Here we explain what logistics advice is, what you can get help with and when it pays off.

What is logistics advice?

Logistics advice is about getting support with how your company transports, stores and delivers its goods. For most small and medium-sized companies, shipping is the part of logistics that matters most day to day: which carrier should you use, which shipping service fits, how should the goods be packed and what does it actually cost? The right advice helps you answer these questions based on your own shipments, not on general price lists. Read how you can lower your shipping costs.

Logistics consultant or ongoing shipping advice?

Many companies bring in a logistics consultant when they need to review their logistics, for example before procuring freight agreements or changing warehouses. That can be right for larger projects, but consultant hours are often expensive and the knowledge disappears when the project ends. Ongoing shipping advice works differently: you have access to shipping experts in your everyday work and can get help when the question arises. At Shiplink, advice is part of our personal customer service and linked to the shipments you actually book. Read about our proactive customer service.

What can you get help with?

Advice can cover everything from choosing a carrier and shipping service for a single shipment to how your whole shipping flow should look. Common questions concern delivery times and terms, how to lower shipping costs, packaging that protects the goods, rules for which service should be selected automatically and how to connect shipping to your online store or business system. We also give guidance on customs questions for international shipping. If you need more in-depth help with customs, it is included in the Fraktavdelning price plan.

Logistics optimisation as your company grows

A shipping setup that worked a year ago is not necessarily the best one today. Volumes, markets and customer expectations change, and carriers change their services and terms too. By following up delivery precision, lead times and cost per shipment, you can see where there is room for improvement. With Shiplink you have both the data in the portal and shipping experts who help you interpret it, so your logistics support your company's growth and customer promises instead of holding them back.
