To establish international standards for cargo transportation, a network of independent freight forwarding companies was created, bringing together industry leaders to improve and enhance services. The advantages for a company that becomes a member of the World Cargo Alliance (WCA) are explained in detail by the experts at Dragon Logistics.
Advantages and features of cooperation with WCA
Logistics companies engaged in international transportation face a variety of conditions. It is much easier to operate in a highly competitive environment when legal and financial support, as well as access to a network of partners, is available, enabling business growth on a global scale. WCA membership provides the following benefits:
- access to a global network of logistics companies worldwide, support from international partners, and opportunities for collaboration;
- a financial protection plan that significantly reduces risks when working with partners from other countries;
- the alliance enables handling specialized cargo — hazardous, pharmaceutical, project-based, perishable, and others — allowing companies to establish a presence across different market segments;
- access to free platforms such as the WCA World Quotation System and WCA World ICE, where members exchange requests, offers, and up-to-date operational information.
Joining the Alliance is an important step for any logistics company. Simply put, it is “playing in the major leagues.” A WCA member has access to a vast network of international partners and various business and specialized tools. This allows companies to offer clients unique and top-quality services and solutions. Access to WCA resources helps optimize operations, improve service quality, and fulfill commitments on time and flawlessly.
A WCA member can confidently develop as a company providing comprehensive international logistics services. For example, like Dragon Logistics, offering “turnkey” services including:
- finding suppliers;
- product testing;
- procurement;
- packaging;
- warehousing;
- organizing the optimal route;
- transportation;
- cargo insurance;
- customs support.
Working with reliable partners in multiple countries greatly simplifies business operations. This extensive network optimizes logistics processes and enables competitive pricing for services. Most clients prefer to insure their cargo, and the World Insurance Services provided by the Cargo Alliance covers all risks.
In summary, considering all the tools and privileges available to a WCA member company, this represents a significant competitive advantage in the logistics market. The Alliance has strict requirements for new members, maintaining high standards. Therefore, WCA membership is a recognition of professionalism in the business world.
