They developed this software to meet the requirements of an online leisure retailer client, thanks to which they have scaled up their business. Moreover, this commendable achievement has got them featured in the BIFAlink Magazine. The BIFAlink magazine is a monthly publication issued by the British International Freight Association

Their next step is to broaden the utilities of KM Insight and are working on the development of new features. “We want to make the system more customizable so that it becomes a perfect fit with no effort on the part of the client,” says the Managing Director of Killick Martin Paul Gallagher.

Mr Gallagher sees digitization as the next big leap for the logistics sector. He feels that there is a pressing need for people with knowledge of traditional logistics who can be at the forefront of digital transformation. “With experienced, people and good systems you can do a lot and that is inspiring,” he said, adding that, “you have to ask yourself what a development means for the person doing the job and for their customers, which is who we are ultimately serving.”

The new software that just requires 15 minutes to set up, allows the customers to control their supply chain. Furthermore, it allows their clients to slow down or speed up their cargo depending on their sales. Most importantly, it helps their customers to cut down on expenses, enhance stock management, and boost supply chain resiliency.

Congratulations to Killick Martin & Co and best of luck with their new endeavours!

Posted on 19 May, 2023 | by admin

Since 2018, Mapcargo’s organic revenue growth is over 270% and the headcount has increased by more than 30%.

Mapcargo International Ltd has been named amongst the fastest-growing companies in Europe, in the 7th annual edition of the Financial Times 1000 List.

Employee promotion: The business strategy of Globalia member in Piraeus to grow in 2023

Posted on 12 May, 2023 | by admin

Promoting an existing employee to a higher rank should be an integral component of a company’s internal growth policy as it is essential for fostering a positive work environment, retaining top talent, and developing future leaders within the organization. Precisely for this reason, Feroniki SA International Shipping Forwarding, Globalia member in Piraeus, Greece, is investing in internal growth by training, and promoting the employees. “We care first and foremost for our employees to be happy with their work environment and see themselves as part of our successful journey,” says Ms Rania Skouta the Manager of Operations of Feroniki SA.

Employee promotion entails a rise in salary, an increase in responsibilities, a rise in position, status and benefits within an organization. The result in most cases is a greater level of employee dedication, leadership development, increased morale, job satisfaction and increased loyalty towards the organization. Ms Skouta explains, “We are a company that values its personnel like a family. We value our employee’s cares & needs and we treat them accordingly. Therefore, with our employee training, we hope to give them a sense of achievement and job satisfaction that would result in better performance and better overall organization outcomes.”

Employee turnover can cost small companies a great deal of expenses. Replacing a long-term employee can cost a company around 150% of the worker’s salary. This cost includes the price of hiring a new employee and the indirect expenses in terms of lost internal expertise, and time spent on training. Regular promotions increase employees’ likelihood of staying with the company since they feel valued and recognized for their contributions. Moreover, it leads to increased employee retention and a reduction in turnover rates.

With our employee training, we hope to give them a sense of achievement and job satisfaction that will result in better performance and better overall organization outcomes

Keeping in line with their commitment to care for their employees Feroniki SA is promoting those “in current junior positions to the position of managers and managers to directors by the end of the year and new candidates to join as juniors.” Additionally, Feroniki SA believes that any successful company in the transportation and logistics industry should understand the importance of having a trained and skilled workforce. For them, investing in talent is one of the best ways of retaining the best employees who are the biggest assets of independent freight forwarders.

Employee training has become a crucial business strategy across industries not just to retain employees but also for the creation of a highly skilled and professional set of workers. Employee training programmes seek to coach the newly recruited workers, get them acquainted with vital industry topics and prepare them for the industry challenges. Feroniki SA is presently training in management and directorial positions while their HR department is evaluating the timetables and workload.

Their internal growth endeavours are “allowing the team to go beyond their immediate work roles and take up more responsibilities involving decision-making. Simply stated, our employee promotion and employee training efforts will boost the future performance of our team, and adapt them to the changes in the industry. Undoubtedly, only those companies that keep evolving with the changing environments perform best over time.”

Allowing the team to go beyond their immediate work roles and take up more responsibilities involving decision-making. Simply stated, our employee promotion and employee training efforts will boost the future performance of our team, and adapt them to the changes in the industry…

Lastly, Rania Skouta also points out that promoting employees who have been with the company for a long time allows for the transfer of industry knowledge and expertise to newer employees. Of course, our employee-first policies will allow more personnel to be in service and ensure that they would be more experienced and well-trained to meet the needs of the client,” he added.

Globalia Logistics Network surpasses 200 members in 130 countries for the first time in its history

Posted on 5 May, 2023 | by admin

Globalia’s territorial exclusivity, its rigorous selection process and the continued trust of members have contributed to the quick rise in the number of agents

Globalia Logistics Network, an exclusive network of the most reliable freight forwarders, has set a record by reaching 211 members representing 133 countries. Globalia Logistics network took shape in 2017 with 50 members and has steadily increased its coverage during the last 6 years.

In the words of Antonio Torres, President and Founder of Globalia Logistics Network, “We created Globalia 6 years back with the express objective of providing a solid global platform for independent freight forwarders which would allow them to gain new businesses while boosting their brands”.

One of the factors that has contributed to this growth is Globalia members, who are the key of the stability and growth of the network: “Overall, we owe this achievement to our members. This could not have been possible without the faith and trust of Globalia members, who have believed in the network even in the most difficult moments. We are like a big family and Globalia is proud to be the link”, continues Antonio Torres.

Another important aspect that has boosted this increase is the Annual Meetings organized by Globalia. In these yearly events, Globalia members get face to face and discuss the prospects of enhanced collaboration and finalize their deals. Moreover, their territorial exclusivity ensures that only one forwarder gets to represent each major city/port to avoid any kind of competition.

Other causes are the wide array of online tools to make business easier for its members. In a bid to digitize the process of quote preparation, they have introduced the FreightViewer- an online freight rate management software which is available for free for all members of the network. It allows the members to create an accurate and professional quotation for their clients within less than a minute.

The equipment is one of the biggest cranes manufactured by Manitowoc with capacity to lift 750 tons.

Latin America Connection Projects Logistica LTDA (LAC Worldwide), Globalia member in Itajai and Sao Paolo, handled an international project cargo shipment of a Manitowoc 18000 crane. They transported the shipment by ocean freight from the Port of Jacksonville, Florida, USA, to Rio de Janeiro Port, Brazil.

The crane had a volume of 2.100 M3 and a net weight of 1.177.669,00 kilograms. With “a capacity to lift 750 tons, it is one of the largest cranes Manitowoc has fabricated,” according to Felipe Sellera, Project Cargo & Branch Manager of LAC Worldwide. “With qualified professionals, LAC is an expert in logistics and transport of special cargoes and a RO-RO market leader in our territories. Due to the oversize and complexity of this shipment, we had to plan, load and secure the crane, disassembling it in 81 packages plus bulk pieces to fit on 25 roller trailers”.

This project was a result of many years of partnership with LAC Worldwide’s carriers and agents.

Congratulations to LAC Worldwide for executing this complex shipment!
