Issue
Issue: A multinational freight forwarder needed to replace a service provider in Haiti given its enhanced needs in the face of the increasing challenges in the distribution of packages and merchandise in the country. Due to the country’s political instability and general security issues, performing meaningful due diligence on potential local partners required local support.
Our Role
FHC performed a mapping of the existing market players throughout the island of La Hispaniola, identifying Dominican couriers who could provide the required services in Haiti, as well as Haitian couriers or businesspersons with experience in transportation and distribution keen on expanding their business. Leveraging our industry networks and collaborating with local intermediaries, FHC developed a short-list of the most suitable suppliers for the client to then assist in the selection of the best fit for its business model.
Results
The outcome was the successful identification of dependable suppliers that met standards of quality, infrastructure needs, and know-how.
