International Transportation and Logistics Consulting: Today's global economy calls for a strong international transportation and logistics program. With the weakening dollar, the world is turning to the U.S. for goods and luxury items. Sextro Consulting can help make you a player in overseas markets and make international shipping easier than you might think. Sextro Consulting can guide you through the start up and implementation of your international shipping program.

Domestic Transportation and Logistics Consulting: Sextro Consulting evaluates the client's current logistics and transportations functions and identifies waste. Each client has its own unique challenges and the best way to address these challenges is to meet with the client and its traffic staff.

Third Party Logistics Auditing: Thousands of manufacturers and shippers have elected to put their transportation and logistics functions in the hands of a third party logistics firm. Who is making sure this was the right decision? Sextro Consulting can analyze the third party relationship your company has in place and provide valuable feedback. We audit the third party logistics firm to ensure savings goals are met and provide feedback on where the third party excels, where it falls short, and what aspects of the relationship can be improved.
Claim Processing and Settlement Skills: Damages to cargo shipments are a fact of life. When freight arrives with damages, a competent and complete claims process can be the difference between getting a claim paid or having to pay out of pocket for a replacement shipment. Sextro Consulting can train your staff on a claims process that will provide your company with greater success in getting claims settled.
Letters of Credit Education: In today's international business environment letters of credit are the norm for title transfer and payment in a contract, but many firms do not know the basics in negotiating a fair and complete letter of credit. Sextro Consulting can provide guidance in handling letters of credit. Sextro Consulting can educate your company on the pitfalls of letters of credit and what terms and conditions should be standard in any letter of credit offered to your company.
