TSI

What TSI does

Trade Services International (TSI) is a private, founder-operated consulting firm that delivers global expansion, supply chain, logistics, and operational re-engineering services to enterprises and growing businesses. Incorporated in 2007 as Trade Services International SA de CV, the firm is headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with regional offices in Mexico City, Singapore, and Stuttgart, positioning it to cover North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe. TSI operates through a global network of independent professional contractors rather than a traditional W-2 workforce, and its value proposition emphasizes locally embedded teams with relationships to regional people, organizations, and agencies that support market entry and ongoing operations for clients.

The firm's offering is organized around three service pillars — Logistics Services (supply chain design, surface/ocean/air freight, distribution systems, contract management), Project Management Services (market research, site selection, business planning, process engineering, legal and trade compliance, IP protection), and Procurement Services (manufacturing, technology integration, quality control, contract negotiations) — delivered across industry verticals including Automotive, Healthcare, Gaming, Electronics, Franchise, and Specialty Sports. Specific verticalized use cases include vehicle distribution and JIT deliveries for Automotive, clinic startups and hospital construction for Healthcare, casino startup projects and logistics security for Gaming, and manufacturer selection with regulatory compliance for Electronics.

TSI's go-to-market is direct client engagement with enterprise, mid-market, and start-up clients requiring international expansion or operational re-engineering. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is described only as "fairly priced." The firm maintains a minimal digital footprint with no disclosed marketing channels, no customer logos, no funding history, and no AI/ML or software product components — making it a pure-play human services consultancy whose commercial value rests entirely on the expertise and relationships of its contractor network.

Broad incumbents

• DHL Global Forwarding: DHL's forwarding and supply chain division offers global logistics, customs brokerage, and trade compliance services that overlap directly with TSI's logistics pillar, but at vastly greater scale and with proprietary technology.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel provides integrated logistics, customs clearance, and supply chain consulting worldwide, competing with TSI for cross-border project mandates while operating a much broader asset and technology base.
• UPS Supply Chain Solutions: UPS's SCS unit offers freight forwarding, customs brokerage, contract logistics, and trade compliance consulting - a near-direct functional overlap with TSI's logistics and customs services, at significantly larger scale.
• C.H. Robinson: C.H. Robinson is a global logistics platform with freight forwarding, supply chain consulting, and managed services, comparable to TSI in serving clients that need help orchestrating complex international trade flows.
• Expeditors International: Expeditors is a global freight forwarder and customs broker with air/ocean services across the same regions TSI covers, representing the scaled, technology-enabled version of TSI's logistics offering.
• CEVA Logistics: CEVA provides end-to-end supply chain, contract logistics, and freight management services globally, competing with TSI for outsourced operational and logistics mandates.
• Alvarez & Marsal: A&M's operational and supply chain consulting practices help companies re-engineer operations and supply chains globally - directly comparable to TSI's project management and operations re-engineering services.
• Accenture Operations: Accenture's operations and supply chain practice offers global business transformation, sourcing, and procurement consulting at scale, the enterprise-grade counterpart to TSI's project management and procurement offerings.

Direct peers

• Flexport: Flexport is a digital-first global trade and logistics platform that helps businesses manage international supply chains, customs, and freight - the closest tech-enabled analog to TSI's integrated logistics and trade compliance offering.

Emerging players

• Banyan Logic: A smaller trade compliance and global expansion consultancy that helps SMEs navigate customs, regulatory, and logistics challenges in new markets - a closer size and approach match to TSI than the global incumbents.
