Economic Control Systems for Freight Forwarding

WHEN ARE WE RELEVANT? 

 

We are not built for business-as-usual operations. 

 

We are relevant in crisis — and when organizations decide to rebuild their operating model at the core.

 

When operational reality and financial results no longer reconcile, we restore economic control.

 

Typical situations include:

  • Persistent underperformance despite transformation initiatives

  • Cash flow pressure 

  • Endless internal discussions without decisions 

  • No reliable end-to-end profitability visibility

  • Management intuition replacing facts

 

If this feels familiar, we may be relevant.

 

THE REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE

 

Freight forwarding follows a complete operating logic — economically coherent, end-to-end.

 

Over four decades of operational work, restructurings, crises and large-scale implementations, we have distilled this logic into a control system designed for scale, complexity and pressure.

 

  • File based economics

  • Front-line operator accountability

  • End-to-end process coverage

  • Real-time control

 

OUR ENGAGEMENTS

ENDORSED BY INDUSTRY LEADERS

 

Ken Allen, former CEO DHL Express and author of ‘Radical Simplicity’

“OntegosCloud applies my principles of Radical Simplicity. It’s a world-class profit and cash catalyst.”

Renato Chiavi, former CEO DHL Global Forwarding

"After 65 years as a forwarder, I know what world-class looks like. OntegosCloud mirrors my playbook – now digitized and automated."

Jeff Ward, Global Lead Transportation Practice, Kearney

“Together, we defined what it takes to maximize profit in freight forwarding. OntegosCloud delivers exactly that.”

WHO WE ARE NOT FOR: 

 

We are not the right partner for organizations that: 

  • operate in a perceived “steady state” and see no urgent need to change

  • treat transparency as a political risk rather than a performance lever

  • seek analysis, alignment or consensus instead of measurable results

  • assign transformation responsibility to teams without decision authority

     

CLOSING

 

To our knowledge, this is a uniquely complete file-based, P&L-reconcilable operating system for freight forwarding.

 

This is not "innovation theater."
