Informe de practicas empresariales – Empresa Tradex USA Logistics

Abstract

The following work is a feedback of the business practice carried out in the company Tradex Usa Logistics in the city of Villavicencio, whose corporate purpose is the transportation of goods, however, this works as a subsidiary of other companies with which it exercises the outsourcing of the same corporate purpose under the name of another business firm known as; PearceWorldwide & SPI.

Tradex Usa Logistics is dedicated to international transportation between the United States and Canada, its headquarter in Europe is in the process of reopening, this experience was extremely enriching since there I held a position as a logistics agent or freight broker agent, this is a position focused on the logistics area in its entirety.

The process included an induction period where the theory was key to have clarification and total control of the area to which I applied, the process included creating databases to have recent information or sometimes review old databases and update the information properly and then perform the respective monitoring which must be constant and very persistent, There is the possibility of researching market niches to make the search for clients more objective in order to reach a pre-agreement between the client and the transporter, which is then formally documented and backed by a duly executed contract that evidences the responsibility of the parties and the respective profit.

All this was done through some platforms that the company has for the creation of loads, orders, dispatches and even collections. During the period of practices I could understand correctly the use of each of the tools DAT, Truckstop, McLeod as the main tool that is responsible for systematically generating after applying knowledge of experience here are generated the RC "Rate Confirmation" or OC "Order Confirmation" here are displayed the loads of all agents and this keeps track of everything that comprises the logistics process for the respective billing of each load.
