    OUR 6-STEP LOGISTICS PROCESS

    Shippers First Logistics

    Our proven 6-step method to deliver customized, reliable logistics solutions — from first call to final delivery

    1

    Discovery Call (60 Minutes)

    We begin with a focused conversation to understand your goals, challenges, and supply chain needs. This is where we ask the right questions — and listen carefully.

    What we cover ?

    • Lane analysis (domestic & international)
    • Current pain points & bottlenecks
    • Volume & frequency of shipments
    • KPI expectations & success metrics

    Your logistics story starts here — with clarity and connection

    2

    Needs Assessment & Solution Mapping

    We analyze the information from our call and begin crafting a tailored transportation plan

    What we deliver?

    • Customized proposal with modal mix (truck, rail, ocean, air)
    • Routing strategies (N.A. & global)
    • Cost-saving opportunities & risk assessment
    • Timeline for implementation

    Clarity First. Strategy Next. A Logistics Plan Built Around You.

    3

    Partnership Agreement

    Once we align on scope, lanes, and terms, we formalize the partnership

    What we provide?

    • Service Level Agreement (SLA)
    • Clear pricing structure
    • Points of contact on both sides
    • Technology integration plan (if needed)

    Everything agreed, nothing assumed

    4

    Onboarding & System Setup

    We get you connected, informed, and ready to roll.

    What this includes?

    • System access & tracking tools (including GPS integration if applicable)
    • Contact directory & escalation protocols
    • SOPs & communication cadence
    • Billing & compliance checks (CARM, customs, etc.)

    Fast, frictionless onboarding that gets you shipping — not guessing

    5
