PLS Consulting

Value added solutions for your projects

Change of Incoterms – some work, but it will raise your income!

It's easy to instruct your supplier to deliver to the agreed place of delivery. The supplier will take on the risk of damage and will organize the transports with their own forwarders. That will spare you from any risks...or will it?


Have you ever checked the potential savings of freight charges if delivery terms are changed?

Call us if you are interested in learning how to annually reduce significant amounts of costs by changing the conditions of purchase and delivery with your suppliers. PLS will analyze your past purchases, prepare an overview about potential future savings, and if you like, PLS will take over the complete coordination of your deliveries. PLS will also provide an overview of extended delivery-times, including proposals for necessary speed-up measures to reach your expected date of delivery, even if the supplier is delayed.

You have good relations with your forwarder and have worked with them for years? That's good! Forwarding is a question of trust. But from time to time it may prove useful to double-check workflows and internal logistics.


"We’ll do it like we always have, because that has worked in the past" – this is the statement we most often hear in our field. However, major potential of possible improvement lies beyond the comfort zone. PLS will support and accompany you during the screening process and will offer innovative solutions, precisely according to your requirements.

Know-How: Reduce charges for your project-insurance!

Call us Now

High-value projects, e.g. power plants, are often signed "turnkey" – which means that all of the equipment must be insured against loss and damage until "set on foundation". High value also means high charges for insurances. PLS supports you and will help lower your insurance charges by organizing official surveys at any place, worldwide. Our charges for official and approved surveys are quite low in comparison to the possible reduction of your transport insurance. Know-how by PLS – don't miss it!

For small and medium-sized companies without logistics departments, we offer to take over the whole project-logistics, including the preparation of all documentation as part of the complete supply chain.


For example, PLS-employees may work as temporary members in your project-team – for the dedicated period of time only, and far away from your payroll.
