A consolidator, also known as a freight consolidator or shipping consolidator, is a company or agent that specializes in combining smaller shipments from multiple suppliers or customers into a larger consolidated shipment. This enables cost-effective transportation and streamlined logistics processes. Consolidators play a crucial role in the supply chain by aggregating shipments, negotiating favorable freight rates, handling documentation, and providing value-added services such as warehousing, packaging, and customs clearance.
