kuljetusvälityspalveluina

Kuljetusvälityspalvelu (transportation brokerage service) refers to a service that acts as an intermediary between shippers who need to transport goods and carriers who provide transportation services. These services do not own the transportation assets themselves, such as trucks or ships, but rather coordinate the logistics of moving goods on behalf of their clients. They leverage their network of carriers to find the most suitable and cost-effective transportation solution for a particular shipment.

The primary function of a kuljetusvälityspalvelu is to manage the complexities of the shipping process. This includes selecting appropriate carriers, negotiating rates, arranging for pick-up and delivery, tracking shipments, and handling any issues that may arise during transit. They also often provide administrative support, such as processing documentation and managing payments.

Shippers utilize these services to simplify their logistics operations, reduce costs, and gain access to a wider range of transportation options than they might be able to secure on their own. For carriers, brokerage services can provide access to a steady stream of business and help them optimize their routes and capacity utilization. The service provider makes their profit by charging a fee or a markup on the transportation services they arrange.
