We Train Solution Brokers!
Our goal, in FCSL’s Logistics and Transportation, is to train Solution Brokers.
What is a Solution Broker?
A “Solution Broker†is a transportation and logistics professional who is well rounded in logistics and ocean/rail/truck and air carriage who can communicate with carriers, regulators, labor, and lawyers to resolve disputes before they become litigation.
Why do we Need Solutions Brokers?
The goal of transportation and logistics is to keep cargo moving! Every dispute, every delay, and every time cargo is damaged causes losses to your customers. A solutions broker anticipates problems, works them out ahead of time, and keeps the cargo moving.
Solution Brokers Keep Trade Moving
No one wins in litigation. It’s costly, its time consuming, and it takes your company away from what it does the best. Whether it is a dispute with a supplier, carrier, vendor, labor or the government, if you can prevent disputes and prevent litigation you can keep world trade moving.
