Investing in Your Team’s Expertise

One of the biggest challenges in our industry is the lack of affordable, accessible training — especially for new and younger staff. That’s why we invested in a custom eLearning Platform, led by an industry expert, to support Member development without the high costs or time away from the office.

Our powerful online course includes 7 modules and 71 concise 10-minute sessions, covering everything from industry terminology to heavy lifting, transport, jacking, skidding, and loadouts. It's professional training, made practical.

The training is proven and trusted by global giants such as DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, Bertling Logistics, DB Schenker, and DSV Panalpina — along with over 1,000 companies in 95+ countries.

Marketing Tools That Deliver

Get a personalised online Brochure Website, and members may also request a copy of our Marketing Brochure, which is edited with their company details and emailed in PDF format ready for printing. Our customised World Maps are often used as a sales tool when at meetings, on websites, etc.

Plus! A short well-made video in an easy-to-digest format gives our eyes a rest from reading text and explains why the world watches a billion hours of YouTube videos every day! Customers are more likely to use you when they understand what you do and how it will help them. So … we have created a video for Members to use in their marketing and sales efforts - watch it here.

Smartphone Access

Dedicated Communication Tools

A single CC country email address ensures fast replies and collaboration, with the ability to compare quotes from multiple trusted offices. Plus, to keep communication flowing, we also offer a dynamic WhatsApp Group for instant updates and interaction, plus a dedicated Mailing List to ensure you never miss an important announcement or opportunity.

Annual Quality Control

At Cargo Connections, membership is earned — not simply given. Each Member undergoes a strict Quality Control Survey every year to ensure consistent standards and capability.

Protecting Cash Flow with Smart, Secure Tools

We know that healthy cash flow is vital. That’s why we’ve taken a smarter, safer approach to financial protection. After consulting legal and insurance experts, we found that bond systems and group liability schemes can be risky — often legally complex and open to fraud. Instead, we developed our own secure online Money Monitor. Members can easily log in to add, track, and manage open invoices. The platform sends automated, fortnightly statements highlighting any outstanding payments, helping to maintain transparency, avoid delays, and strengthen trust across our network.
