The best networks for independent freight forwarders

Freight Forwarders Network Solutions, FFNS, was founded in 2009 with the vision of building international networks formed by small and medium-sized independent freight forwarders who share the common strategy and goal of joining forces to collectively increase their business volume, reduce risks/costs, and compete on an equal footing in an industry clearly dominated by large multinationals.

The small fish facing the big one

We are stronger together

Over these 15 years, we have become the world's largest exclusive network, bringing together, associating, and assisting more than 800 SME freight forwarders in 151 countries to digitize and internationalize, exponentially increasing their business volume, reducing costs, minimizing risks, and thereby improving their global competitiveness.

The freight forwarding landscape: a question of survival

Mega-Forwarders

The 10 largest multinationals are holding a 44% monopoly of the market. The "mega-freight forwarders" generally handle about 30% of the cargo volume generated by their own commercial action and 70% of shipments routed through their network of offices worldwide. Their recognized brand image and global presence help them establish business with major accounts as well as negotiate the most competitive rates with carriers.

Independent freight forwarders

SME freight forwarders depend almost exclusively on their own commercial action. Business routed by international agents is marginal. Sometimes, they are forced to work with unknown agents, risking the service provided to their clients. A globally consolidated network of independent freight forwarders allows them to receive routed business, work securely, and reduce costs by negotiating collectively with carriers.
