Our Services
Every dimensionof your supply chain.
Full-service freight brokerage across ground, air, and ocean — backed by supply chain advisory that finds the costs most companies never see.
Where Every Engagement Starts
APL Trans Supply Chain
Diagnostic.
Before we make a single recommendation, we look. A structured six-workstream engagement — freight invoices, carrier governance, rate benchmarking, inbound procurement, ERP gaps, and a forward operating model — that surfaces what's costing you money and what you didn't know was there.
At the end, you receive a written diagnostic and a 60-minute executive readout. Then APL Trans stays — to execute on what we found.
Freight Brokerage
Advisory-backed brokerage.
Ground, air, and ocean.
APL Trans holds active freight broker authority and operates a vetted carrier network across all three modes — globally. Unlike a standard broker, every load benefits from the same market intelligence and carrier scrutiny we apply to our advisory work.

Recover what's already yours
Freight Bill & Process Auditing
Carrier invoices contain errors more often than most shippers realise — duplicate charges, incorrect accessorials, rates that don't match contracted terms. Our audit process reviews every line item against your agreed-upon rates, flags discrepancies, and pursues recovery on your behalf.
Schedule a ConsultationInvoice-level review
Every charge audited against contracted rates, tariffs, and accessorials.
Discrepancy recovery
We identify and pursue refunds and credits on confirmed overbillings.
Process gap identification
Audits often surface billing workflow issues that create recurring errors.
Historical analysis
We can review prior periods to quantify total exposure and recovery opportunity.
Rates that reflect your value
Price Negotiation
Most companies are paying freight rates that were negotiated years ago — or never formally negotiated at all. We benchmark your current rates against market data, identify the gap, and negotiate on your behalf across carriers, modes, and trade lanes.
Schedule a ConsultationMarket benchmarking
Your rates compared to current market across every relevant lane and mode.
Carrier negotiations
We leverage relationships and volume data to negotiate on your behalf.
Contract review
Existing carrier agreements reviewed for gaps, limitations, and renegotiation triggers.
Multi-mode coverage
Ground, air, ocean, and parcel — every mode where savings opportunity exists.
The right carriers. Held to standard.
Carrier Vetting & Management
Carrier selection has a lasting impact on cost, reliability, and compliance. We evaluate carriers rigorously — authority, insurance, safety ratings, performance history — and manage those relationships on an ongoing basis so the standards are upheld.
Schedule a ConsultationAuthority & compliance checks
FMCSA verification, insurance confirmation, and safety rating review.
Performance management
On-time, claims, and service metrics tracked and acted on continuously.
Carrier development
Preferred carrier programs built to incentivise performance and loyalty.
Incumbent carrier review
Existing carrier mix assessed for gaps, redundancies, and consolidation opportunity.
Systems that actually reflect your supply chain
ERP Gap Management
Most ERP platforms weren't built with freight complexity in mind. The result is data gaps that affect everything from billing accuracy to reporting visibility. We identify where your systems fall short and close those gaps — without requiring a full implementation.
Schedule a ConsultationFreight data assessment
Current system capabilities mapped against your actual freight data needs.
Gap identification
Specific shortfalls documented with their impact on cost and operations.
Integration advisory
Recommendations for system fixes, third-party tools, or process workarounds.
Reporting alignment
Freight KPIs reconciled between your TMS, ERP, and carrier data sources.
Visibility that drives decisions
Freight Spend Analytics & Reporting
Data without context is noise. We build the reporting framework that turns raw shipment data into clear intelligence — cost-per-lane, carrier scorecards, on-time trends, spend by mode — so you can manage your supply chain with confidence.
Schedule a ConsultationSpend dashboards
Total freight cost visibility by lane, carrier, mode, and time period.
Carrier scorecards
Performance metrics for every carrier in your network, updated continuously.
On-time reporting
Delivery performance tracked and benchmarked against committed transit times.
Trend & variance analysis
Month-over-month and year-over-year freight cost and performance trends.
Built for how your business actually moves
Supply Chain Network Design
Warehouse positioning, mode selection, routing logic, and carrier mix — the configuration of your supply chain network has a compounding effect on cost and service. We model and optimise it based on your actual freight profile and business objectives.
Schedule a ConsultationNetwork modelling
Origin-destination analysis to identify routing and mode optimisation opportunities.
Warehouse positioning
Distribution footprint assessed against freight cost and service level trade-offs.
Mode optimisation
Right mode for each lane — ground, intermodal, air, ocean — based on cost and time.
Scenario planning
Alternative network configurations modelled so decisions are made on data.
Cross-border confidence
Compliance & Customs Advisory
International freight carries regulatory complexity that can stall shipments, create penalties, and add unexpected cost. We guide clients through import and export compliance, HS classification, documentation requirements, and customs risk management.
Schedule a ConsultationImport/export compliance
Regulatory requirements assessed for each trade lane and commodity.
HS classification
Harmonised System code review to ensure accuracy and avoid duty errors.
Documentation guidance
Commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and more.
Customs risk management
Identifying and addressing exposure before shipments move.
