Logistics Network
The client represents a dynamic Global Logistics Consortium that emerged in response to the challenges posed by the Belt and Road Initiative. It provides an extensive platform for accessing valuable logistical insights and connecting with crucial partners throughout Eurasia, with a particular focus on emerging logistical centers.
CLIENT CHALLENGES
Our client faced significant challenges regarding its online presence.
