Partners
Partners make the network.
ErisWorlds plans shipments and keeps the record. The warehousing, the customs entries, the flights and the sailings are done by companies licensed for that work. If that is you, read on.
Who we work with
Six kinds of partner.
No partner is named on this site until it has agreed to be. That is why you see kinds of company here, and no logos.
Warehouse and fulfillment operators
- What we look for
- Facilities in or near the launch markets, with clear warehouse terms and an inventory record you can share.
- What we bring
- Freight in and out on one record, and customers who know which facility holds their goods.
Customs brokers
- What we look for
- Licensed brokers who work directly with the importer, under the importer's power of attorney.
- What we bring
- Shipment milestones and documents shared as they happen, and a clear line between your work and ours.
Air and ocean forwarders
- What we look for
- Licensed forwarders with their own programs and bonds, at origin or overseas.
- What we bring
- Inland legs in Florida and Texas, and a record your customer can read.
Last-mile fleets
- What we look for
- Local delivery carriers with their own authority where it is required, and proof of delivery at every stop.
- What we bring
- Planned routes, written rates and one contact per route.
Drayage carriers
- What we look for
- Carriers that work the ports and rail ramps of the launch markets.
- What we bring
- Appointments planned before the container is available, and free time watched on the record.
Technology and data providers
- What we look for
- Tracking, telematics, document and payment services with a documented interface.
- What we bring
- A clear use for your product, and an engineering team to integrate it.
How we work with partners
Four practices.
The same for every partner, whatever its size.
Checked before the first shipment
Licenses, insurance and references, against the public record where one exists.
A written agreement
What each party does, what it is liable for, and how it is paid.
Shared milestones
Your events on the shipment record, in a format agreed with you.
A named contact
One person on each side who answers when plans change.
Partner inquiry
Tell us what you do and where.
A person replies within one business day. Motor carriers use the carrier form instead.
