Forwarding Agent - Speditionskaufmann/frau (m/w/d)

Stellenbeschreibung

This is Logic

For decades, freight forwarders have built their teams based primarily on hard skills: training in foreign trade, customs procedures and prior knowledge of transport systems.

In Germany, it takes up to 3 years to train a new team member through Ausbildung. In the meantime, many soft skills are ignored: specific knowledge is accumulated but the basics of providing top-notch customer service are neglected.

At Exikhan / Logic Labs, we are developing a platform that will connect a highly functional TMS with the global market of remote, customer service-oriented workers. We believe that anyone, from any background but with the right soft skills, can work as a forwarding agent and benefit from an international and flexible work environment.

Our mission is to reduce training time to a few weeks without sacrificing effectiveness and operational control.
