In our business we call that Proactive Logistics Control (PLC).
We never accept something can’t be done until every possible avenue has been totally exhausted.
Welcome to PLC Customs Trade and Consulting Services
We are a specialist company, advising and managing our customers through the many challenges and frustrations of International Trade and Logistics.
What we do is quite unique. We have a 20-year alliance with the Rohlig Group, a major International logistics company. Rohlig with their worldwide network of offices and innovative software programs, process our clients’ orders and undertake the various procedures including International Logistics and Customs Clearance.
PLC manage the whole process from time of order right through to point of delivery. We make sure that everything is linked, that the best options and rates are available and applied, and even more importantly that the level of communication to you, our customer and your suppliers is first class and in abundance.
About
PLC Trade – A Real Point of Difference
The world of International Logistics is full of thousands of freight forwarders and customs brokers, all hoping to add your name to their list of numbers. Often promising a lot, but ultimately delivering a below par service.
We believe, in this hectic world of International Trade, it is it still basically a people business and that no amount of computerized reporting and conveyor belt processing can replace.
Relationships & Communication
These are two key words that PLC Trade have built a successful business of some 35 years on.
We have many clients who have been with us for over 10, 20 and even 30 years. We have found over the years that having a great relationship does not imply you take it easy. The reality is, the better you get to know a client and their company philosophy, the harder you go for them.
The Very Essence of PLC Trade
- The two words Relationships and Communication go hand in hand with our fierce determination to achieve the best result for you, our customer.
- We don’t accept mediocrity, lack of common sense or urgency, in any form from any party or authority involved in your supply chain.
- We believe they should be like PLC Trade, continually striving for excellence and continuous improvement.
Going the Extra Mile and Putting Ourselves on Your Side of the Desk
- We have found over the years that its only when you focus on how you would react if you were sitting on the customers side of the desk that you achieve the optimum results.
- Sometimes this can mean short term financial and operational pain, but overwhelmingly we have found that this approach leads to long term benefits for both parties.
- Going the extra mile is a well-known term but it’s not actually put into practice that often.
- We know this to be true as every time it’s done the response of positive feedback is forthcoming, and the client relationship goes to a new level.
