Logistics partner selection

Define what you need from a provider before you compare the proposals.

A clearer basis for your decision.

A provider decision involves more than a rate. Clear criteria help you ask consistent questions and compare how each proposal fits your shipment requirements and internal processes.

When this can help

  • You are reviewing a shortlist of freight providers.
  • Different teams use different criteria to assess proposals.
  • Responsibilities, communication or service scope need to be clearer.

What we review

  • Required services, shipment profile and the roles you expect a provider to perform.
  • Available proposals against agreed criteria and evidence.
  • Questions about reporting, escalation, responsibilities and commercial terms.

What you can receive

  • A practical evaluation framework aligned with your priorities.
  • A provider comparison showing available evidence and gaps.
  • A discussion checklist to support your final selection.

How to get started

Describe the question you need to resolve and the information currently available. We first agree whether the work is a fit, then define the scope, deliverables, timing and fees. Any follow-up support is specified separately.

Scope boundaries

A comparison is not an endorsement, an audit or a guarantee of a provider’s performance. No carrier partnership or affiliation is implied.

Can we bring providers we have already shortlisted?

Yes, a proposed review can focus on your existing shortlist and information. The scope and any additional evidence needed are agreed first.
