Why Coyote Logistics is the Top Choice for European Shippers: Rapid Onboarding and Comprehensive Services
As VP Sales, Europe at Coyote Logistics for almost 3 years now and 10 years with the company in total, one thing has consistently made me proud: our commitment to providing tailored logistics services that meet the diverse needs of our customers. When meeting with potential clients, I often hear a few key questions. While they may seem simple, they are crucial for companies considering working with us. The questions are: Why Coyote? What sets Coyote apart and why should we entrust you with our freight?
In this short article I try to answer these questions and highlight the unique aspects of our offer. I hope this helps shippers feel confident when choosing Coyote Logistics.
Coyote’s Core Services in Europe
Let me start with the basics and describe our primary operational focus. Coyote Logistics specializes in road freight services. In our service portfolio you can find an array of services designed to cater to different logistical needs. For larger loads that also require faster delivery, we provide full truck loads (FTL). In the case of smaller loads, when the shipper also prioritizes cost savings over transportation time, our offer includes a groupage service (LTL). In short, it involves consolidating the loads of several customers on one truck. We also provide fast delivery of the smallest loads using our Express Van service.
Market Coverage in Europe
We operate on the European market, where we have developed a solid position and built strong relationships with proven carriers. We are most present in the UK, Germany, Benelux and Poland, but we also have the potential to support operations in almost all European countries.
Most Frequently Serviced Industries
Another question I hear from potential clients during business conversations concerns the type of cargo we can handle. We serve companies primarily from the following industries:
- Food and Beverage: The largest share of our business;we ensure safe and efficient delivery of perishable goods.
- Retail &Ecommerce: Our flexibility and adaptability compliments this sector perfectly;when fast and efficient service is key.
- Healthcare: We specialize in moving medical devices and equipment that do not require additional certification, to support public and private healthcare organizations across Europe
In addition, we also serve the automotive sector and shippers from a range of manufacturing industries.
Another distinctive feature of Coyote Logistics is that we also efficiently handle time-sensitive movements, often managing urgent shipments of equipment and machinery.
Another customer question concerns customs issues, especially in the case of loads moved from the UK to the EU and in the opposite direction;After Brexit, all new changes in regulations and extended paperwork kept many shippers up at night.
At Coyote, we have our own in-house customs team that handles import and export customs procedures. We offer both a comprehensive transport service across the English Channel, which includes customs clearance, as well as a standalone customs brokerage service if customers wish to continue working with their current carriers.
Streamlined Customer Onboarding
One thing that I always especially emphasize during my calls with future customers is the speed and simplicity of our account opening and onboarding processes. The general idea is that these processes should be as quick and hassle-free as possible for the client, but at the same time give us the ability to respond quickly to any urgent enquiries.
Shippers interested in doing business with Coyote Logistics are asked to fill out a straightforward online DocuSign form with the company’s details.Then our finance team runs a standard credit and background checks, which are usually completed within a couple of hours, but can be completed in minutes when required. Once this is approved, we activate the customer’s account which allows them to start booking shipments immediately. The onboarding process also includes assigning a dedicated account manager and access to our online portal CoyoteGO. With CoyoteGO customers can build and book loads, get live shipments statutes, thanks to track and trace options, and manage all customs documents, POD’s and accounting information.
Connection with UPS
Coyote Logistics, as I stated before, specializes in road freight. Parcel operations, sea freight and air freight services are outside of our core focus. However, we can connect customers with our UPS counterparts for parcel, sea, and air freight services, thanks to our close and strong relationship with UPS.
If someone asked me how I briefly define the services provided by Coyote Logistics, I would probably answer like this. I hope that this short article has explained to you, at least to some extent, why it is worth choosing Coyote and entrusting your business to us.
