Professional foreign trade outsourcing
Foreign trade operations outsourced to trusted experts, with end-to-end visibility on the plugcomex platform.
What it solves
Keeping an in-house team able to coordinate freight, customs, documents and providers across many simultaneous operations is expensive and hard to scale. With outsourcing, Centaurea takes over the orchestration and delivers consolidated information so the company can decide.
What Centaurea does
- Logistics orchestration (5PL): coordination of every provider in the operation;
- Follow-up of documents, milestones and deadlines for each shipment;
- Exception management and client communication;
- Visibility and indicators on the plugcomex platform;
- Integration with freight forwarding, customs engineering and domestic transport.
The plugcomex platform complements the official foreign trade systems (such as Brazil's Portal Único Siscomex); it does not replace them.
