Overview
What is Logistics Operations?
Logistics operations outsourcing covers the administrative backbone of supply chain management: shipment tracking, carrier communication, freight documentation, customs paperwork preparation, inventory reconciliation, and delivery exception handling. Treba deploys logistics coordinators in Nairobi who work inside your TMS, WMS, or ERP to keep goods moving and paperwork accurate.
Typical client
UK ecommerce brands, 3PLs, freight forwarders, and manufacturers that need administrative logistics capacity without hiring additional UK warehouse or operations staff

The challenge
Why UK companies struggle with logistics operations.
Logistics administration is relentless, repetitive, and essential. Every shipment needs a bill of lading, every delivery exception needs a chase call, every inventory discrepancy needs investigation. UK logistics coordinators cost £30,000–£38,000 loaded, and turnover in operations roles averages 25% annually because the work is process-driven and unglamorous. When coordinators leave, institutional knowledge about carrier contacts, customs procedures, and client-specific requirements walks out the door. Meanwhile, your senior operations manager is spending half their week on shipment status updates instead of network optimisation and carrier negotiations.

“I coordinate 400+ shipments per week for a UK ecommerce brand across 5 carriers. Last month I identified a recurring DPD routing error that was adding 2 days to deliveries in Scotland — the client had been absorbing the delay for 6 months without noticing. We fixed the routing and their Scottish delivery SLA compliance went from 71% to 94%.”
