The operations behind every container.
CSA's tailored freight execution services connect the commercial strategy with day-to-day shipping.
We manage everything to turn negotiated terms into reliable cargo flow and realised savings.
Vendor & Order Management
One order. One accountable point of contact.
Share the order details with CSA and we coordinate directly with your supplier. We collect cargo-ready dates, shipment specifics and the information required to move the order forward, while keeping your team informed throughout.
Allocation Management
Use the allocation you negotiated.
CSA's experienced team actively manages allocations across carriers and trades so available space is used where it creates the most value - without putting stock availability, carrier relationships or cost targets at risk.
Origin Management
Control starts before the container reaches the port.
From shipment initiation until the cargo is on the water, CSA coordinates the origin process with Swiss precision and clear visibility. Our local teams understand the market, the carrier landscape and the formalities required to keep cargo moving.
On Route & Destination Management
Visibility & control beyond departure.
If schedules change, a transshipment is disrupted or another exception arises, our team engages proactively with the carrier to reduce the avoidable charges and keep you informed.
98% allocation utilisation in an exceptional market
Our operators are ocean freight experts who we hold to the highest service standard. Proactiveness and accountability is what we live by.
