Aeroceanetwork Expanding Their Logistics Cargo Alliance Around the World

San Francsico - Aeroceanetwork, described by a group spokesman as "the most dynamic international forwarder network growing today" is set to continue their group’s growth. According to a company spokesperson Aeroceanetwork is currently making a concerted effort to reach new geographical markets for their freight forwarder membership.

So the question would be posed from that statement: What actually does make Aeroceanetwork different from all of the other groups that you hear about out there?

Aeroceanetwork management confirms it is because Aeroceanetwork is "very results oriented" for their members. "We focus our energy so that our forwarders get better results from the other members around the world," says Gary Dale Cearley, Executive Director for Aeroceanetwork, "we do this by simplifying the global and regional meetings and actively working as a pro-active business conduit for your company. We promote the networking between the members, as well as with the world outside the network."

How is this achieved? According to Aeroceanetwork’s membership and meetings coordinator, Ms. Vu Lan Huong, Aeroceanetwork’s staff work for their members year round and not just when it is meeting time. "We consider a member’s relationship with us to be that of a client rather than another company listed in the directory that we see only at meetings" adds Lan Huong.

But Aeroceanetwork has yet one other ethic that builds their growth. "Aeroceanetwork has integrity," claims Gary Dale Cearley, Aeroceanetwork’s Executive Director, "we keep our word about the geographical policies, meaning that, with the exception of two cities that are currently being resolved due to the recent merger with GEN, we don’t have any gateways with more than four members because we have promised this in our policies from the beginning. We don’t change our policies to suit our own needs, financial or otherwise, if it doesn’t suit our members."

In addition, Cearley advises when looking to join a network, count the members per city first, not the total membership. He adds that he has seen networks with relatively high price tags and for pure financial reasons purposely haven’t capped membership, which he says that his network will never do on his watch. "What good is it for a member in Shanghai if there are 38 members locally and only four in Los Angeles? The four Los Angeles members cannot reciprocate enough freight for the 38 Shanghai members! At the end of the day everyone is just fishing and might as save their hard earned money and not belong to any group at all. You can do the math in your head about the odds that this relationship will be good for either party."

Aeroceanetwork also has policy that they focus almost exclusively on the members’ overseas business development. If members need programs, such as insurance coverage or logistics software Aeroceanetwork will find a competent, reliable partner who is an expert in the area and a professional, to cover these areas. Examples are Aeroceanetwork’s relationship with AllCovered.net cargo insurance and Pangaea software. "We don’t try to soft sell or force sell you programs you won’t use and don’t need," says Guess, "how can we be competent in all of these areas. If that was practical the forwarders and logistics companies would be doing this for themselves already. And we don’t want to force those companies who already have their own solutions in place to use ours."
