What we review:
- Current shipment frequency
- Average shipment size by weight and cubic metres
- Current courier or freight pain points, including duty rates, customs clearance or service issues
- Whether your current model is still appropriate/fit for purpose
- When it may make sense to transition to a freight forwarding solution
Outcome: A practical recommendation on whether to stay with your current setup, improve how you are using it or prepare for a more structured freight forwarding model.
Global Logistics & Freight Forwarding Review
Best for: Established shippers who want to understand whether their current model, provider or process is working as well as it should.

What we review:
- Freight pricing structure and transparency
- Incoterms and landed cost considerations

- Potential gaps in capability, especially for complex goods or markets

Bespoke Logistics Advisory & Consulting
Best for: Businesses with a specific operational, freight, warehousing, customs or systems challenge. This service is for projects that do not fit neatly into a standard freight quote or market-entry discussion. It can focus on one area of your logistics chain or review several connected parts of your operation.
What we can advise on:
- End-to-end logistics chain reviews
- Land-based, sea and air freight movements
- Warehousing and 3PL models
- Customs processes
- Freight management systems
- Warehouse management systems
- EDI/API integrations and operational workflows
Outcome: A scoped advisory engagement focused on the specific issue, project or improvement opportunity.
Help us point you in the right direction
To recommend the right advisory pathway, we’ll ask a few simple questions about your current shipping activity, shipment size and the issue you are trying to solve.
How it works: A practical process, scoped upfront
Advisory services are quoted upfront based on the scope, complexity and time required. This ensures you receive focused advice from the right specialist, without open-ended commitments.
Complete the short enquiry form so we can understand your current setup, challenge and timing.
We’ll confirm whether your enquiry is best suited to a readiness consultation, logistics review, market-entry advisory session or bespoke consulting scope.
You’ll get direct access to experienced logistics specialists who can help you understand your options and next steps.
You can use the advice independently or continue working with AXIMA for freight forwarding, customs, warehousing or broader logistics support.

I am very pleased to say that AXIMA after 1 year of their partnership with us continue to go above and beyond to ensuring the quality and standard of their service is maintained at all times.
Cost is always important and a major factor but reliability and efficiency of service, timely communication and ability to act quick quickly when invariably problems occur are also critical parts of what AXIMA brings to the table for us every day. If you are looking to build a genuine partnership with a freight forwarder or logistics company then I could not recommend AXIMA highly enough.

Having worked with several freight forwarders in the past, I can sincerely say that in comparison AXIMA has significantly improved our international freight operations.
They have reduced the amount of time I spend on shipping by taking on the workload for me. Their rates are impressive, and their service is without compare. AXIMA truly cares about the clients they serve, and I am grateful for the ease they have brought to my life.
I would highly recommend AXIMA to anyone who is looking for a reliable and efficient freight forwarder. They have made our lives easier and have helped us to save time and money
