    Offshore & Nearshore Logistics Staffing
    Your Freight Runs Lean.
    Your Back Office Should Too.
    Offshore and nearshore virtual staff for every non-driver, non-floor function in your logistics operation — freight coordination, TMS/WMS ops, customs docs, customer service, finance, and more.

    Save 70% vs. domestic hires. Deployed in 14 days. $0 long-term contracts.

    The Margin Problem

    Where Logistics Profit Margin Disappears

    Schedule Your Free Strategy Session

    Every dollar your domestic back-office team costs is a dollar not reinvested in floor capacity, equipment, or margin. Four pressures compounding silently across your operation.

    $85k+

    True Cost of One US Ops Hire

    Salary, benefits, employer taxes, PTO, and recruiting overhead — for a freight coordinator, dispatcher, or analyst role fully deliverable offshore from $22K/yr.

    40%

    Ops Time Lost to Transactional Admin

    TMS data entry, carrier follow-up, invoice auditing, customs paperwork — your logistics pros are doing $15/hr work. Virtual operators handle it faster and cheaper.

    4-6%

    Revenue Lost to Freight Invoice Errors

    Duplicate charges, accessorial overcharges, and billing errors go undetected without a dedicated auditing layer. Offshore freight bill auditors pay for themselves — fast.

    60 Days

    Average US Logistics Hire Timeline

    Job posting, screening, interviewing, notice period, onboarding. We source, vet, and deploy a trained logistics ops professional in 14 days — zero recruiting overhead.

    Every Non-Asset Function Your Operation Needs

    Pre-vetted, TMS/WMS-literate, US-timezone-aligned professionals across every back-office and operations function in a logistics or supply chain business. Fully managed — HR, QA, and reporting included.
