Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions you're asking yourself.

We provide strategic consulting, upstream of operations. We don't handle your shipments: no booking, no customs clearance, no transport. Our role is to help you structure your logistics strategy, select the right partners, and optimize your costs. The freight forwarder executes, we advise.
It depends on the service chosen: an express diagnostic lasts 2 weeks, complete export support spans 8 to 12 weeks, and outsourced supply chain management is deployed over 3 to 6 months minimum. We always adapt the duration to your specific challenges.
Our services start at €2,500 for an express diagnostic. More comprehensive support is subject to a custom quote after a scoping discussion. We systematically establish a detailed proposal before any commitment.
Yes, our support generally includes 1 to 2 on-site sessions as needed: visit to your warehouses, meeting with your operational teams, or visit to your partners. The rest of the work is done remotely to optimize costs.
A 30-minute phone or video call, without obligation. The objective: understand your situation, your challenges, and determine if support can really help you. If so, we then propose a tailored offer.
Our core target: exporting SMEs and mid-caps, between 10 and 500 people, with export revenue exceeding €2 million. VSEs can benefit from a diagnostic, but comprehensive support is more suited to structures already having significant export activity.
We are completely independent and receive no commission from freight forwarders. We can recommend partners based on your specific needs, but the final decision is yours. Our interest is aligned with yours: find the best solution, not place a partner.
