FFC is a specialist consultancy in the freight and logistics sector, providing independent advice and ‘best practise meets innovation’ solutions to our customers, predominately within New Zealand. Our mission statement is:

“Partner with our customers to bring inspirational, innovative and cost-effective solutions to freight and logistics businesses and the broader industry.”

Freight and Logistics Supply Chain Services

FFC consults on all aspects of the freight tender process. From running a tender on your behalf, negotiating freight rates, and/or providing detailed analysis and independent advice on tender responses, to ensure you are positioned to make the best decisions for your business.
We can assist our customers seeking market approval for new products.
We specialize in partnering with you to review your current supply chain, with a view to making operational improvements to positively impact your bottom line. Whether it’s a review of your operations warehouse and distribution pipeline, or a business continuity review to safeguard your business in the event of local or world-wide disruptions.
We provide a project management service for the implementation of new logistics software, enabling you to take our recommended process improvements and drive them across your systems for repeatable and measurable gains (e.g. reduced man-hours or better goods traceability).
We can provide a review of goods packaging against logistics platforms to ensure packaging is aligned to maximize load vs capacity for air and sea shipments.
We are your operational support in times of need.
We provide consultancy services to new start-ups seeking export and import information, compliance, and best practice.

Perishable / Seasonal Program Services

We provide support to our customers seeking government or MPI (Ministry of Primary Industries) support for large seasonal volumes.
We source and implement charter operations for large volume seasonal demands.

Event Logistics Services

FFC will partner with you to plan, prepare, document and implement a Logistics Strategy based on your requirements, to ensure a streamlined and efficient operation behind the scenes at your event.

Firstly, we will create an Event Map – a site map of the logistical components (food trucks, generators, sound equipment, IT and power, public conveniences, ticketing and credential validation, customer service areas). Once all the logistical components are mapped, we can determine the entry / exit processes.
Subsequently, we will develop an in-depth Logistics Plan covering the detail and timings for the event – a schedule of what needs to be where and when, including pre event
set-up, attendee arrival, general crowd flow within the event, accessibility to essential services, attendee exit, and post event pack-up.
We will provide expertise in the areas of transportation, distribution, packaging, storage and disposal.
Beyond planning, we will be on the ground during your event, working with other event resources to monitor the logistical components and to adjust to circumstances as necessary.
