Grow Your Revenue and Profit with No Investment
Is your firm looking to expand into international freight services? Dimerco’s international freight agent program, named the Connect Asia Growth Partnership, gives you an immediate and powerful global shipping capability – with no investment. You can extend your services to meet your customers’ transpacific shipping needs (air and sea), while Dimerco seamlessly executes shipping and customs clearance services as your behind-the-scenes partner.
ABOUT DIMERCO
We combine air, ocean, warehousing, trucking, and customs brokerage services to deliver a one-stop solution for global logistics. Our key point of difference: an unmatched freight network and logistics know-how across Asia. Of Dimerco’s 150+ company-operated freight forwarding offices globally, 130 are located across Asia-Pac, with a growing network in Europe and 20 locations across the U.S. and Canada. In terms of freight capacity and rates, Dimerco is a top 25 freight forwarder with all major Asia-based carriers.
ABOUT YOU
International freight agents with our Connect Asia Growth Partnership program are typically small to mid-sized logistics companies that have strong customer relationships but a limited or non-existent international shipping capability. The best candidates for our international freight agent program include:
- Trucking companies and freight brokers that are doing domestic distribution in the U.S., but lack an international shipping capability
- Smaller U.S.-based forwarders seeking stronger carrier relationships and more competitive rates to and from Asia, as well as intra-Asia lanes
- Customs brokers that don’t offer international freight forwarding as part of their service
THE OPPORTUNITY
With today’s challenging tariff and geopolitical environment, your customers are looking for transportation partners to help them save money and navigate the complexity. As a Dimerco international freight agent, you can respond to these challenges while growing your revenue and profit. A partnership with Dimerco can help you:
- Gain a greater share of your customers’ total freight spend by expanding into international freight services
- Protect existing business by offering multi-mode solutions to customers that may otherwise want to consolidate to fewer providers
- Promote a strong presence across Asia through a seamless Asia forwarding connection
- Access good rates to and from Asia, leveraging Dimerco’s volume leverage
- Gain access to Dimerco’s real-time intelligence on freight trends to keep your customers informed
PROVEN SUCCESS MODEL
One of Dimerco’s early international freight agents was Johanson Transportation Services, a large, California-based trucking company. In the early 2000s, driven by demand from customers importing from Asia, Johanson wanted to create an international transportation division. They became a Dimerco international freight agent to make it happen. Here’s what the company’s director of international transportation says about the 20-year partnership with Dimerco:
“Dimerco helps us provide our U.S. customers with a complete multi-modal solution. This not only enhances our revenue beyond domestic trucking, but also keeps our existing customers happy and loyal. With its wide coverage across Asia, Dimerco really represents us in this part of the world. Because of the trust that has developed with Dimerco over our 20-year relationship, we refer to them as our ‘partner office.’ We have no offices outside the U.S., so when our clients and their overseas suppliers are talking with Dimerco offices to coordinate transport − whether it be in India, China or Southeast Asia − we see those Dimerco offices as an extension of our business in Asia.”
