Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions you may have.

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: a strategic diagnostic lasts 2 weeks, a full export support spans 8 to 12 weeks. We always adapt the duration to your specific challenges.
Our services start at €2,500 for a strategic diagnostic. More comprehensive support packages are subject to a custom quote after a scoping discussion. We always provide a detailed proposal before any commitment.
Yes, our support packages generally include 1 to 2 on-site sessions as needed: visiting your warehouses, meeting your operational teams, or traveling to your partners. The rest of the work is done remotely to optimize costs.
A 30-minute phone call or video meeting, with no commitment. The goal: understand your situation, your challenges, and determine if our support can truly 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. Very small businesses can benefit from a diagnostic, but comprehensive support is better suited to structures with significant existing export activity.
We are completely independent and receive no commissions from freight forwarders. We can recommend partners based on your specific needs, but the final decision is yours. Our interest is aligned with yours: finding the best solution, not placing a partner.
