Who we work with

Transport providers.
Specialist logistics partners.

We engage providers according to the route and confirmed service. Registration does not guarantee work; suitability is assessed movement by movement.

Hauliers, groupage operators, express fleets and specialist equipment providers.

02

Air and ocean partners

Airfreight agents, airlines, shipping lines, NVOCCs and consolidators.

04

Customs and logistics

Customs brokers, warehouses, fulfilment operators, packers and final-mile networks.

Onboarding requirements

Operational standards

What we expect
on every booking.

Good providers do not disappear once the load is collected. Control depends on communication, evidence and immediate escalation.

Read the full standards
Written instructions

Follow the confirmed route, cargo, equipment, timing and handling scope.

No unauthorised subcontracting

Do not re-broker or subcontract a movement without prior written approval.

Milestone communication

Confirm collection, material progress, delays, incidents and delivery.

Cargo protection

Use suitable equipment, load security, seal and handling controls.

Immediate escalation

Report shortages, damage, customs issues, breakdowns, missed slots or route changes without delay.

Proof of delivery

Return clear, complete delivery evidence within the agreed timeframe.

Rates, invoices and payment

Commercial discipline
works both ways.

Terms are agreed in writing. Assumptions are not a substitute for confirmation.

01

Agreed rate

The booking or rate confirmation states the agreed price, currency, scope and payment basis.

02

Additional charges

Waiting, storage, route changes and other accessorials require prompt notice and prior authorisation where possible.

03

Invoice pack

Invoices should include the booking reference, agreed rate, correct entity details and required POD or supporting documents.

04

Payment terms

Payment timing is agreed during onboarding or booking. Aegis does not publish a universal term that overrides written agreement.

Fraud control: never submit bank details through the public website form. Banking information and any later changes must be verified through controlled channels.
