Over 20 years of experience in international logistics. Practical knowledge used to protect our clients’ interests.

Pro-Advice was built on more than two decades of experience in international supply chains. Our background spans both the ocean shipping industry, working with major global shipping lines, and the delivery of complex logistics projects for companies in the food and industrial sectors, as well as public-sector organisations.

This experience allows us to look beyond the freight rate alone. We understand the operational realities, know how carriers work, and recognise where additional costs and unnecessary risks can arise — whether in contractual terms, operating procedures or day-to-day cooperation.

We use this knowledge to help businesses make better decisions, maintain greater control over logistics costs and manage international projects with confidence.

Experience That Delivers Tangible Results

Our work focuses on three key areas.

1. Planning and Delivering Complex Logistics Projects

We have extensive experience in organising shipments that require detailed planning and a tailored approach. This includes transporting specialised production lines to other continents, as well as managing deliveries subject to demanding banking procedures and international contractual requirements.

2. Cost Control and Dispute Resolution

We help clients review additional shipping charges, including demurrage and detention, assess whether they are justified, and negotiate with counterparties. Our knowledge of shipping line procedures and industry practices enables us to protect our clients’ interests more effectively and reduce costs arising from errors, misunderstandings or unclear contractual arrangements.

3. Supporting International Market Expansion

We have supported Polish and international businesses in preparing to enter challenging markets, including the United States, East Africa and Asia. Our work includes logistics planning, reviewing customs and tax requirements, and reducing the risk of border delays that can disrupt deliveries and generate unnecessary costs.

Whose Side Are We On? Our Clients’ Side

Pro-Advice is not a freight forwarding company. We do not sell transport services of our own, nor do we simply provide another freight quotation.

Our role is to advise clients and represent their interests in dealings with logistics service providers. Within an agreed scope of engagement and under the appropriate authorisations, we help review quotations, negotiate terms and maintain control over costs.

We want our clients to know exactly what they are paying for, what risks they are taking and what alternatives are available to them. No unnecessary intermediaries, no unclear settlements and no avoidable costs.

Better Logistics Starts with Better Decisions

Not every transport problem can be predicted. Many, however, can be avoided or contained by addressing contractual terms, documentation and process design at the right stage.

That is where we come in. We combine practical industry knowledge with an independent perspective on business needs, helping our clients focus on running their businesses while maintaining greater control over their logistics operations.
