Partnering for Sustainable Growth
Who we work with
Two sides of the same freight market.
Shippers and forwarders both come to Sumaco with a commercial requirement. The work is understanding it properly before anyone is introduced.
Find a suitable forwarding partner
We help shippers identify suitable freight-forwarding partners based on their requirements — route and geography, transport mode, cargo and service needs, and commercial fit.
Freight forwarding consultancyDevelop relevant commercial opportunities
We help freight forwarders and agents identify and develop relevant commercial opportunities — qualified shipper requirements, and useful relationships across the freight market.
Commercial developmentHow we work
Understand, identify, coordinate.
A requirement is rarely just a route and a rate. The value is in what happens before and around the introduction.
Understand
We clarify the requirement or the opportunity: origin and destination, mode, cargo and service expectations, timing, and what matters commercially to the party we are working with.
Identify
We identify suitable counterparts from our freight-market relationships and partner network, assessed against capability, coverage and commercial fit.
Coordinate
We introduce both sides with enough commercial context to evaluate the opportunity efficiently, and support the relationship as it develops.
Freight expertise & network
Sumaco works across both sides of the market.
Air, ocean, road and multimodal capability, reached through a network of forwarding partners.
