How to Select the Right Logistics Service Provider? 

Choosing the right logistics provider can be a daunting task - especially for companies starting to export. It can be made much easier if you know the key factors to look for. Should you select a logistics service provider for its low price, its reputation, or because it was recommended by a family member? Should you move your goods by air, sea, or road? What documents do you need to provide the logistics provider?  

On 14 September at 10:00AM, EuroCham Cambodia will partner once more with ARISE+ Cambodia for our third SME Export Talk - this time focusing on "Logistics Providers for Export". This Webinar aims to familiarise companies with key features to look out for when selecting a logistics provider, and when beginning to export.

With experts from the field of export logistics, we will discuss how to choose a freight forwarder suitable to your product, the challenges an SME may face, and tips to streamline the export process. The discussion will provide both an academic overview of the topic, as well as real-world examples of firms exporting using third-party logistics (3PL) providers.
