OUR VISION

We want Freight Lounge Select to be the place where independent freight forwarders turn to for trusted partners and lasting cooperation across borders. We envision a connected community where members share local industry knowledge and use one accessible platform to exchange enquiries, request quotes, and coordinate shipments.

HOW WE GROW

We add independent forwarders in countries and trade lanes that are relevant to our members. This approach supports a reliable membership base and gives forwarders confidence when working together.

HOW MEMBERS CONNECT

Members stay connected throughout the year to discuss shipments, exchange quotes, and explore business opportunities. Monthly meetings bring members together to share freight industry news from their countries, maintain relationships, and hear updates on the network’s activities and progress. Our member platform lets them exchange ideas and talk in real time, while annual meetings provide time to meet face to face and build closer working relationships.

OUR GROWTH PLAN

2 YEARS

Identify gaps in country and trade-lane coverage, invite suitable independent forwarders, and establish regular monthly meetings and member-platform discussions.

3 YEARS

Strengthen coverage in priority markets, introduce members with complementary services, and review participation, retention, and business generated within the network.

5 YEARS

Develop underrepresented trade lanes, expand opportunities for members to meet at industry events, and improve digital tools using feedback from day-to-day cooperation.

10 YEARS

Maintain a stable network of active, long-standing members, adapt coverage and services to changing freight markets, and keep improving cooperation through regular member feedback and progress reviews.

OUR PLATFORM

The Freight Lounge Select community platform gives members a shared space to keep in touch, exchange ideas, and get to know the people behind the businesses. Use it to start a conversation, share news from your market, or keep your contact details easy for fellow members to find.

A SEMI-EXCLUSIVE FREIGHT NETWORK

Freight Lounge manages representation in each market to balance geographic coverage, service capabilities and opportunities for members. We look for independent forwarders whose services and trade lanes complement the existing network.

“By encouraging cooperation within network and facilitating services and applications for efficient communications and workflows, we help you scale and develop your business and make savings on costs”

Auke van Santen

“Many freight and logistics networks have become top-down, over-represented, and quantity-driven organizations. Freight Lounge leadership is directly reachable, interested, and invested in each of its members’ growth and success. By promoting, facilitating, and participating in direct communications and meetings between all members, Freight Lounge has already become THE network of the future”

– Marc Sullivan – Global Trade & Customs, USA
