A freight forwarder is a company engaged in arranging the commercial transportation of cargo from the shipper to the receiver. While a freight forwarder itself does not transport shipments, it works with air or maritime transportation companies to ensure that the goods arrive at their destinations without hassles, legal or otherwise. Each and every step in the freight shipping process is handled by a freight forwarder on behalf of its client. Businesses commonly utilise the services of freight forwarders to improve the efficiency of their supply chains.
