A consolidator is a company that specializes in combining cargo consignments belonging to multiple shippers into full container loads—an activity that aids the shippers by giving them a cost-effective way to transport goods internationally.

With the help of consolidators, individual exporters are spared the costs involved with renting and transporting a shipping container that they cannot fill. Instead, this cost is shared among several shippers.

Consolidators play an integral role in the logistics process, and they serve the interest of both the shippers or consignors and the carriers. They collaborate and serve various manufacturers, businesses, and shipping companies, which allows them to create an extensive network of consignors and carriers. They identify shipment needs and connect consignors with the right shipping companies to accommodate their budget and transportation needs.
