CAPLINQ offers a range of services to help foreign suppliers sell into Europe

CAPLINQ's order fulfillment service gives foreign companies a physical European presence

The internet has changed how companies do business. Foreign suppliers can sell directly to customers online and invoice customers directly thus eliminating the need for a traditional distributor or sales agent. What foreign suppliers still need however is to cross international borders, import goods, pay duties and taxes and physically get their products into their customers' hands.

Secrets UPS, DHL and FedEx don't want you to know

UPS, DHL and FedEx make more money in administration fees and charges then on physically transporting goods. European customers that buy goods from foreign suppliers that are supplied by UPS, DHL or FedEx pay unnecessarily high fees, charges, taxes, duties and other administrative charges to have the products shipped internationally. It is not unusual for customers buying from foreign suppliers to pay more for the delivery of the goods than for the goods themselves.

It's not always UPS, DHL or FedEx's fault

There is a genuine reason why delivery charges can outweight product cost. If you have five customers in Germany, two customers in France, three customers in the Netherlands, it will cost significant more money to supply the goods to each customer individually then to supply from a local European warehouse. Furthermore, customers want product quickly, so airfreight seems like the only solution, sigh :(

There is another way - smile ;)

CAPLINQ's order fulfillment service is exactly this. A logistics platform that you use on a pay-per-use basis that reduces your logistics cost disadvantage while increasing the control you have to supply your products to your international customers. Sound like it's too good to be true?

CAPLINQ's Technical Representation service acts as an extension of your sales organization

CAPLINQ has a staff of technical engineers and technical service representatives that service customers in their own timezone and at their own premises to understand their needs and requirements.

CAPLINQ is not a traditional agent or distributor

Unlike a traditional distributor or agent relationship, CAPLINQ's technical representation service is a customized service that acts as a seamless extension of your organization. What does that mean? That's up to you to decide! Do you want a dedicated contact person in Europe? Ok. Do you just want someone a technical person to pick up the phone when your customers call? Sure. Want to hire someone locally and have the resource managed by us? We do that too. Simply want to publish a local European sales office on your website? Cool.
