What Worldwide Link Co. does

Worldwide Link Co., Ltd (WLINK) is a Vietnam-based private logistics and freight forwarding company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City near Tan Son Nhat International Airport. The company provides a comprehensive suite of supply chain services anchored on LCL (Less than Container Load) ocean consolidation — its self-described core competency — supplemented by FCL shipping, air freight and air charter, buyer consolidation for retailers, specialized equipment containers (open top and flat rack), warehousing and distribution, customs clearance and trucking, multimodal transport design, domestic sea and air freight, and express door-to-door delivery brokered through DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, and TNT. The underlying technology stack centers on professional CFS (Container Freight Station) handling, IT-integrated warehouse and distribution management designed per customer requirements, and multimodal transport planning with transshipment terminals and standardized loading units. The business operates six domestic offices across Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Haiphong, Da Nang, Quy Nhon, Binh Duong) and reaches global destinations — primarily Japan, China, Korea, India, Bangladesh, Southeast Asia, and Europe — through partnerships with ocean carriers (OOCL, SITC) and memberships in international logistics networks (WCA, Neptune, Ocean X, UCN) and industry associations (Vietnam Logistics Association, FIATA).

WLINK earns revenue primarily through transaction-fee pricing on shipments (LCL, FCL, air freight, express, domestic freight, specialized containers, buyer consolidation) and managed-services fees on warehousing and distribution contracts. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales through the six-office domestic network, complemented by a website-based quotation system (Quotation page) and direct email inquiries via [email protected]. Customer segmentation is horizontal: import/export businesses requiring cross-border consolidation, retailers sourcing from multiple Vietnam factories (buyer consolidation use case), and manufacturers needing integrated warehousing, customs, and domestic transport. Pricing is custom and quotation-based rather than publicly disclosed, with pay-as-you-go billing on transactional services. The company also operates a non-revenue CSR sub-brand, Happy Link (established 2013), supporting underprivileged children in Vietnam.
