Forwarder Network

Forwarding agents have to face fierce competition and gather in forwarder networks. Air & Ocean Partners is one of the leading forwarder networks of the world. AOP was established in 2005 and grew fast to a global forwarder network with a worldwide presence on all five continents.
There are already many forwarder networks existing, but Air & Ocean Partners holds much more benefits for its members. The biggest difference between AOP and other forwarder networks is for sure the permanent engagement to generate business for its partners. With many exclusive programs all the members of the AOP forwarder network benefit from several advantages. One of these programs at Air & Ocean Partners also is the CC-protection that secures collect amounts of all members inside the forwarder network.
The enrolment in the AOP forwarder network is limited of course. Unlike many other networks AOP only accepts certain agencies in its forwarder network, sorted out by specific criteria. In the forwarder network of Air & Ocean Partners many things matter, like licences (IATA, FIATA, or others), customs brokerage licences, special logistics facilities, and many more.
The quality of cooperation inside a forwarder network depends on the quality level each member is working at. A central point for creating new cooperation and developing new business cores in a forwarder network is to attend regular meetings offered by AOP. At these conferences the 1-to-1-meetings are a valuable option to establish new contacts which results automatically in more business by the end of the day for each member of the forwarder network!
Travel work is also extremely important for the Managing Directors of the AOP Forwarder Network. Helmut Gross, one of the MDs of AOP states that a forwarder network of course needs to be attended a lot more better than a regular forwarder does with his own cargo network. Though, he adds, this is not done in most of the forwarder networks. And here AOP makes the difference: personal contacts in the forwarder network, a careful choice of new members – all done by travel work and at least recommendations. Yes, also recommendations from members of Air & Ocean Partners are an option to enlarge the forwarder network appropriately with reliable and trustworthy members.

At least a forwarder network must be there for its members 110%, it must be attended appropriately, just like at Air & Ocean Partners. Trust this unique and reliable forwarder network and become a member of AOP! For the enrolment in the Air & Ocean Partners forwarder network, the AOP-administration requires basic information about your forwarding agency, like shareholdership, bank details, specialisation in certain markets, staff details. This information will then be sorted out and checked upon the AOP-enrolment criteria for enlistment in the forwarder network. With a positive result, you will be enlisted in the trustworthy forwarder network Air & Ocean Partners.
