The certification is expected to boost client confidence in a big way. Potential partners and customers can be assured that Movements International operates with transparency, structure, and a strong commitment to quality. In a competitive logistics landscape, this matters more than ever. “ISO 9001 challenges you to do better, and now that we’ve achieved it, we’re even more motivated to keep improving.”

To mark the milestone, CIS Global Services hosted an intimate gathering with team members, clients, and strategic partners

CIS Global Service SRL, Globalia member in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Founded in 2004 as a small family-run company, CIS has steadily grown into a trusted name in the sector known for its hands-on service and operational efficiency.

To celebrate this special event, CIS brought together its team, long-time clients, and key partners for a private event. “It was a moment to reflect on the journey so far, reconnect, and look ahead.

Over the years, CIS expanded its services, invested in new tech, and built a stronger team. In 2024 alone, it redesigned its website, added real-time cargo tracking systems, and opened a bonded warehouse in San Martín. It also signed a strategic agreement with ICBC Bank, giving clients access to exclusive financing and trade benefits.

Naturally, these achievements didn’t come without challenges. The company navigated shifting regulations, economic instability, and growing customer demands. “Trust and innovation kept us moving forward,” Maidana added. The logistics industry has transformed rapidly over the past two decades, driven by automation, digitalization, and sustainability goals. CIS adapted at every step.

Its membership in Globalia Logistics Network played a big role in that evolution. “Globalia helped us build trusted partnerships across the world. These connections are essential to delivering competitive, integrated logistics solutions.”

Beyond business, CIS is committed to social responsibility. The company supports local schools, partners with community organizations, and integrates sustainability into its daily operations. As they put it, they believe in “logistics with purpose.”

Congratulations to CIS Global Services on their 20th Anniversary and here’s to another 20 years of excellence!

This strategic digital partnership enables Globalia members to obtain customized insurance coverage for their shipments directly through the Member Area

Globalia Logistics Network is enhancing cargo insurance accessibility and efficiency for its members through its strategic partnership with Redkik, a leading insurance technology provider. This initiative represents a crucial step in the digitalization of insurance procurement, making the process faster, more efficient, and seamlessly integrated into Globalia’s platform.

Through Redkik’s advanced technology, Globalia members can now effortlessly secure tailored insurance coverage from global insurance partners for their shipments. This collaboration simplifies what has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming process.

Chris Kalinski, CEO of Redkik, highlighted the broader significance of the partnership: “Collaborations like this drive the industry toward a more accessible and efficient insurance acquisition process, ensuring greater convenience for logistics professionals worldwide.”

A key advantage of this partnership is the ability to obtain instant insurance quotations. Moreover,  by leveraging Redkik’s technology and extensive network of insurance providers, members can receive customized quotes based on their shipment’s geographical location, ensuring precise coverage tailored to the cargo’s specific origin and destination. This level of customization allows Globalia members to choose insurance options that align perfectly with their unique shipping requirements, offering enhanced cargo protection and peace of mind.

The insurance feature is conveniently available through Globalia’s Member Area, eliminating the need for external tools or complicated workflows. Additionally, members can seamlessly manage the entire process—from obtaining quotes to securing coverage—within a centralized platform. This streamlined approach reduces administrative burdens, enabling freight forwarders to focus on delivering superior service to their clients.

Both Globalia and Redkik are committed to advancing digital transformation in the logistics industry. To quote Antonio Torres, President and Founder of Globalia Logistics Network, “Our partnership with Redkik is part of our ongoing commitment to equipping our members with innovative solutions that simplify operations, improve efficiency, and make cargo insurance more accessible and tailored to their needs.”

Additionally, Globalia Logistics Network plans to integrate this feature into FreightViewer, its member-exclusive online freight quoting platform, further boosting efficiency.
