The
Asian Logistics Umbrella is an exclusive alliance of strong, well-established,
highly-reliable and like minded
independent freight forwarders in Asian. ALU offers its partners exclusive
representation to each country and/or
city, where a partner is located and/or maintains an office. A partnership
in ALU is by invitation only. You
will not find two ALU partners in a single market. ALU offers its partners
support at, just one location or locations
across the whole of Asian. ALU interest is to protect, to protect the
interests of you and your clients,
as well.
The
Asian Logistics Umbrella is a non-profit and self-managed alliance. In
ALU, you pay no fees and your monetary
investment is zero. Any investment in ALU should be time and effort in
providing and growing business mutually
benefiting the alliance. This is our culture and the essence of being
in partnership within ALU independent
freight forwarders. ALU prides itself in self-management by its partners
and for its partners and not by any other management company as is the
norm with most networks. Who knows
better than ourselves on our needs requirement and in achieving our goals.
Exactly with ALU, what you need is
what you get.
The
Asian Logistics Umbrella ultimate aim is to BRAND itself and make ALU
and its alliance known to all shippers'
association and carriers. In today's freight climate, there has been huge
logistics acquisitions, such
as TNT's purchase of Sweden's Wilson Group and the DHL buy of UK's Exel.
The large multinational forwarders,
it is said, are feverishly on an upward path toward dominance on the global
air and sea cargo stage while small
and medium-sized companies are increasingly becoming bit-part
players pushed to the outer margins. The ALU BRAND will bring us the benefits
of working together, the benefits
of being big while allowing us the independence, flexibility and the personal
touch that is lost as logistics operators
go multinational.
The
Asian Logistics Umbrella makes a difference and is not like any other
groupings whose partners have found
their ambitions frustrated by a host of obstacles. These includes conflicting
objectives of different partners,
lop-sided groupings where a certain partner/s dominates, inconsistent
quality standards, inadequate systems
for reliably monitoring and/or enforcing service performance levels, incompatible
information technology plus a lack
of coordinated marketing. ALU partners are like-minded to realise common
goals, bring about common grounds to be effective and to even the playing
field by multinational standards. |
