The Cooperative Logistics Network (COOP) is an alliance of hand-picked freight forwarders who work together to grow their businesses and serve their clients worldwide.
You are independent freight forwarders, experts in logistics and among the elite in your territory. The Cooperative Logistics Network is a capped, non-exclusive alliance of hand-picked freight forwarders in each major air/seaport who co-operate in a financially secure environment to reduce costs and risks and grow their businesses by actively working together to compete against the largest multinationals. Join us!
The Coop isn't looking for the biggest independent freight forwarders; it is looking for those which are the most reputable, well managed and solvent, with a considerable business volume and a good credit history with their partners. Companies must have been operating as freight forwarders for at least 2 years.
Tariffs differ according to the size of the market, the population, business volume and other factors in that territory. You can check the available territories and inquire about their fees here.
For a non-exclusive network, The Coop operates a strict selection process with rigorous background checks being carried out on all applicants, as well as ensuring high standards are met before any agent is offered membership.
The PPP offers additional payment security and is optional for members. In the event of an unpaid invoice, the PPP will release funds to chase the debt on that bad payment. Payments are paid out in cases of fraud, bankruptcy, or financial insolvency on the debtor’s part to a maximum amount of 25,000 USD per debtor. We also offer a mediation service in cases of disputes and late payments among members.
