A broker is a legal entity that represents your interests to Customs. On the basis of the documents you provide, he or she will lodge a declaration with Customs, respond to Customs enquiries and release your goods for free circulation in the country where you are doing business. The broker will also advise you on all the nuances of declaring goods and provide you with the calculation of customs duties. In addition, if the company is exporting, the broker will help to organise the correct and legal export of goods from the country.

It all starts with finding cargo. This is done on a special marketplace where you can find an up-to-date list of what you need to transport. You can sort the cargo according to the parameters you need. It is nice to check if the goods have all the necessary documents.
Once you have found the cargo, the negotiation phase begins. On the other side of the screen or phone is the person who has the cargo. Since you are in the market, there is a negotiation process. It usually does not take long at all. If the customer has special requirements, the process can take longer.

A transport logistics automation system is a key tool to facilitate the task of optimising a company's operations and the entire supply chain. TMS is a solution for those who need to optimise the daily distribution of requests and monitor the efficiency of fleet utilisation. The system allows you to obtain real-time data on each vehicle and analyse the efficiency of its use, automate manual operations, simplify the processing of orders, control the execution of requests, compliance with the route, etc.

Logistics is a field that requires a high level of analytical skills. A logistician must be able to analyse data, forecast demand, determine the best routes and choose the best solutions for the company.
A logistician is an administrator, he must always know where the goods are. He thinks of ways and means of transport, from packing and loading in the warehouse to delivery to the customer. Experience and personal qualities are important in his work. In principle, he acts according to instructions, but in the event of a disruption in the work process (failure to meet deadlines, breakdown of transport, unfair work by suppliers or employees), the logistician must quickly find a way out of the situation.

For a business not to become an overnight experience, it must evolve. Even a small business looks for ways to stand out. It comes up with its own "thing" to be remembered by the customer. It can be anything: a name, a special presentation of advertising, a style of placing an order, a non-standard website.

Account-based marketing focuses on specific companies or key accounts. The ABM strategy focuses on selling and promoting to a narrowly targeted, most often B2B, audience.
In other words, ABM works with quality rather than quantity. And it starts at the other end of the sales funnel, i.e. at its base. The ABM strategy focuses on companies that could become ideal customers. For example, by tracking website visitors or researching potential customers, creating content and developing marketing campaigns specifically for certain businesses and companies.

In 1544, Henry VIII of England undertook the Great Debasement of the ever-reliable British silver penny. The silver content in the coin began to be only 25%, compared to the old 92.5%. In other words, it began to take about 3.7 times more pennies to buy an ounce of silver than before. It is obvious that prices in Britain soon rose by about three times.
Henry did not invent anything new. The Romans at one time devalued denarius, which led to the price of wheat rising two million times. Central banks today are essentially doing the same thing, but in the digital age. Benchmark in the Bretton Woods era $35 an ounce. Now this figure has decreased by about 50:1. To buy one ounce of gold, you will now need about fifty times more dollars.
