Carrier Strategy Workshops
Geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, along with evolving trade policies, make an already complex trading environment increasingly unpredictable. In such uncertain and volatile times, it’s crucial for shippers to build close partnerships and maintain transparent communication with their Logistics Service Providers (LSPs).
We believe shippers should consider moving away from the transactional relationships of the past and seek to nurture more strategic relations with their service providers that help optimise commercial terms and ensure business continuity in today’s highly dynamic ocean market.
Drewry offers bespoke workshops to our clients, the objective of which is to amplify current and prospective LSP relationships by positioning the shipper as ‘Best in class’ and a long term ’Preferred partner’.
Our workshops focus on LSP relationship management and strategy, informed by ’Best in class’ characteristics, to establish a bid strategy that embraces sustainability goals while optimising of commercial and operational workflows.
We believe an informal, interactive setting between Drewry experts and your team delivers the most effective outcome. We focus on identifying actionable recommendations where improvements can be made and work with you to build a roadmap for your ocean freight strategy, not just for your next bid event, but to provide a robust framework that will serve your organisation for the next 2-3 years.
