How Our Partner Easy Logistics Management Uses SI Ships<\/h3>\n

Jeremy Curran, owner and founder of Easy Logistics Management<\/a> is one of Sheltered International\u2019s partners. While his company utilizes a variety of software programs, he believes SiShips is unique. \u201cI personally haven\u2019t seen a product like that,\u201d he says, \u201cThe all-in-one-screen platform \u2013 it\u2019s like Travelocity for global logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeremy\u2019s choice of Travelocity for comparison isn\u2019t surprising; he\u2019s an avid traveler, and his passion for adventure has guided his niche in logistics management<\/a>. He specializes in working with industries that align with his passions, including surf and paddleboards, bikes, solar energy equipment, and snow sports equipment. SiShips has helped him simplify complicated international shipping and offer clients a global range of options. Key to growing his business is the ability to communicate simply and understand client needs, answering questions, determining customer pain points, and identifying what needs fixing seamlessly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to see international and global logistics<\/a> in real-time is a huge selling point. It makes it easier to articulate the value proposition to the clients, visually showing them the tool and how it rates,\u201d he says. After working as an outside sales rep for a large shipping company for three years, Jeremy set out on his own in 2009. His team works remotely, so SiShips\u2019 visual nature has made it easier to communicate and grow the company. He says that software development, which has made business easy, scalable, and transparent, is central to his staying in logistics. \u201cNone of us work in the same office,\u201d he says, \u201cIf we were still faxing, I don\u2019t think I\u2019d still be doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Using Technology to Streamline Freight Forwarding<\/h3>\n

Jeremy is just one of many agents who have discovered the power of our technology. From California to Florida, our domestic partners have enjoyed a streamlined freight forwarding experience, bolstered by extensive systems of knowledge and support.
