International Freight Forwarding

As a helpful visual, picture a triangle. One of those points would represent your company and your international shipping requirements. A second point represents the final destination of your goods. The third triangle is the international freight forwarder that professionally connects the dots, creating a supply chain plan that routes the cargo where it needs to go. A freight forwarder also often consolidates shipments because they’re frequently large and complex, thereby streamlining the volume and processes.

Our talented Tampa international freight forwarding team strategically selects optimal modes, which can include air freight, sea/ocean transportation, road transportation, and rail freight. We collaborate with carefully nurtured partners and negotiate the best lanes and rates. No matter what a company’s requirements are, we keep our focus on providing accurate, efficient, cost-effective, streamlined logistics.

Navigating the complexities of international shipping can be challenging, so choosing the right international logistics partner can serve as a real game-changer for a company. With NXTPoint Logistics, you can count on a personalized transportation management plan that provides significant value. We select optimal modes, design the best routes, and develop a backup plan. We accomplish this through our extensive partnership network to provide accurate, on-time, efficient, and cost effective deliveries. Plus, we negotiate the best rates for your timetable and other requirements.
