The Cooperative Logistics Network

What The Cooperative Logistics Network does

The Cooperative Logistics Network, founded in 2014 by Antonio Torres and operated by FREIGHT FORWARDERS NETWORK SOLUTIONS SLU. in Valladolid, Spain, is a capped, non-exclusive alliance of independent freight forwarders designed to let small and mid-sized forwarders cooperate as a curated global network. Membership is selective, requiring at least two years of operating history and good credit, with typically one member accepted per major air/sea port territory to enforce territorial scarcity. As of 2024 the network comprises 357 agents across 138 countries representing approximately 29,385 combined employees, and has organized seven annual in-person conventions (with the 9th Annual Meeting scheduled for Bangkok in 2026).

The platform's technology stack centers on a digital network product suite rather than core logistics execution. It includes the FreightViewer online quoting platform for digital freight quote generation, the Coop Web App and digital directory covering 260+ agents with WhatsApp/WeChat one-click contact, a Searchable Network Directory across 357+ cities, a Stuffing Calculator, and a coop-branded Logistics Academy. Add-on modules include the Payment Protection Plan (PPP) providing payment coverage of up to $25,000 per debtor against fraud, bankruptcy and insolvency, plus dispute mediation, and Redkik-integrated cargo insurance plus Container xChange integration offering members a 10% discount on container equipment access across 2,500+ locations.

The business model is subscription-recurring annual membership fees with territory-tiered pricing that scales with market size, population and business volume, supplemented by optional PPP subscription revenue and ancillary education/event monetization. The go-to-market is sales-led and digital, anchored by a website membership application, Business Development Coordinator consultation calls, a member referral program offering a 25% discount on next-year membership fees (capped at four referrals annually), and a 50% branch-office discount in the same country as the head office. The customer base is independent freight forwarders who want global coverage and credibility to compete against multinational logistics providers without ceding independence.
