Logistics Built for Portuguese Businesses

Business logistics goes beyond booking individual shipments. It means managing multiple carriers, optimising routes, controlling costs, and having visibility across all shipments. Cargosender gives businesses a single platform to manage all their freight — domestic, EU, and international — with consolidated monthly invoicing and account management.

Business Logistics Pricing

Weight & volumetric size

Carriers charge whichever is greater: actual or volumetric weight (L×W×H cm ÷ 5000).

Origin & destination

Route zone determines the base rate. Remote or island destinations carry access surcharges.

Service level

Economy vs express. Express costs 40–80% more but offers next-day or time-guaranteed delivery.

Fuel surcharge

All carriers apply a fuel surcharge updated monthly — typically 10–25% of the base rate.

Customs (international)

Cross-border shipments may attract import duties and VAT at destination — declared value required.

Business Logistics Savings

Volume

Contract rates

Volume-based rate cards save 15–50% vs retail pricing depending on monthly spend.

Multi-Carrier

Best carrier per route

Splitting volume across 3–4 carriers (cheapest per route) consistently reduces total monthly spend.

Fixed Surcharges

Lock in fuel rates

Annual fixed fuel surcharges eliminate monthly cost volatility for budget planning.

Business Logistics Fuel Management

Business accounts can negotiate fixed quarterly or annual fuel surcharges with Cargosender. This is particularly valuable for businesses with high road freight volume where the diesel surcharge represents a significant portion of total logistics spend.
