Security and reliability: why AMTRANS is your ideal cargo transport partner

Cargo transport has fast become a fundamental aspect of operations in an increasingly competitive business world.

According to data from the Institute of Logistics and Supply Chain (Ilos), logistics costs in Brazil account for more than 12% of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This means that Brazilian entrepreneurs incur 58% more expenses related to the storage, handling and transport of goods than their American counterparts.

These numbers represent the importance of choosing the best available logistics partners, taking the following expectations on the marketplace into consideration:

• that requests be completed in a timely fashion,


• that materials be received in the conditions previously established during negotiations,


• a high level of quality and transparency in logistics services.

Why is a reliable logistics partner important?

Companies are constantly striving to specialize in their core business, dedicating themselves to the primary business activities in which they are involved.

The ability to rely on specialists facilitates operations, and logistics is no different. This is particularly true in international business, in which the level of knowledge and details involved requires professionals that are trained in managing the bureaucratic processes and obligations required under the law.

As a result, there is good reason behind putting together your own team to handle tasks that involve:

• all modes of maritime transport,


• air transport,


• road transport,


• project cargo,


• consolidated maritime import cargo,


• consolidated air import cargo,


• cargo transport insurance.

Exporting or importing goods requires a considerable level of knowledge and consistent updates since laws are constantly changing. Furthermore, it is necessary that companies possess an in-depth understanding of how operations work in the countries in which they wish to carry out business activities.

What is the best way to select a cargo transport partner?

Choosing a freight transport partner requires considerable effort as such a process involves more than merely assessing costs and a potential partner’s willingness to deliver high-quality work.

Carrying out activities within international markets requires:

• an ability to develop customized logistics solutions for each specific negotiation, 


• technology that enables communication and the monitoring of processes,


• market experience,


• an ability to adhere to delivery deadlines with appropriate costing,


• gaining the trust of your clients,


• high-quality client services.

Each of these items involve professional training and investment in obtaining a high level of quality.

Freight transport partners must be held accountable with regards to their obligations and demonstrate a high degree of transparency and commitment when carrying out their business activities.
