How logistics BPO services work with us

Logistics business process outsourcing means another company hires, trains and manages the people who run your freight back office, while you keep the customers, carriers, rates and operating authority. With us, those people are full-time employees of Staff Outsourcing Solutions, on-site in our Cebu office and assigned only to your account.

  • You choose the size: one team member or a full team, matched to your load volume, your hours and your budget.
  • You interview the shortlist: we send candidate profiles, arrange interviews, and you pick who joins your account.
  • The team works in your systems: your TMS, load boards, carrier tracking portals, email and phone system, through accounts you control.
  • We handle the employer side: recruitment, training, performance management, payroll, benefits and HR, DOLE-compliant in the Philippines.

The team learns your lanes, your customers and your carriers, and a team lead on the same shift answers to you. It is the same model as our customer support outsourcing teams.

Load entry and order processing

Every load starts as data: a rate confirmation, a tender email or a customer order. The team enters loads into your TMS, checks pickup and delivery details against the order and flags anything missing before the load moves. Changes to dates, appointments and references are updated as they come in, so dispatch and accounting work from the same record.

Track and trace and customer updates

Shippers want to know where their freight is. The team runs check calls with drivers and carriers, reads tracking portals, updates load status in your TMS and sends your customers updates at pickup, in transit and at delivery. Delays and exceptions go to the person you name, with the facts already gathered.

The same team can answer customer questions from the load record. Phone handling is covered on our inbound customer service page, and written channels on our chat and email support page.

Carrier onboarding and admin

The team can collect and check carrier packets: insurance certificates, tax forms, agreements and the other documents your onboarding requirements list. They set up carrier profiles, track expiring documents and keep your carrier records current.

Every check follows your compliance rules and your approval steps. The team works under your company's operating authority and in your systems; carrier approval decisions stay with the people you name.

Dispatch support and scheduling

Dispatchers lose hours to the work around their decisions. The team can book pickup and delivery appointments, confirm schedules with shippers and receivers, send load details to carriers and help with scheduling and route planning under your dispatchers' direction.

Proof of delivery, paperwork and billing support

A load is not done until the paperwork is. The team collects proofs of delivery and bills of lading, matches them to the load, chases what is missing and files everything for billing. They can prepare invoices, match carrier bills and follow up on open receivables, inside your billing rules.

See our billing and collections, back-office outsourcing services and data entry outsourcing pages for how that work is set up.

Coverage across shifts and busy seasons

Freight moves at night and on weekends. Hours are set around your operation, from a single US business-day shift up to 24/7 across shifts, covering East Coast and West Coast hours, nights and weekends.

When peak season or a new customer is coming, team members can be added ahead of it, under the same team lead.

Who handles your freight back office

  • Hiring. Every candidate goes through a skills assessment, a written and spoken English check, background verification and a role-specific evaluation before you meet them. The full process is on our thorough employee vetting page.
  • Training on your business. Onboarding covers your TMS, lanes, customers, carrier requirements and escalation steps.
  • Management on the floor. A team lead on your shift reviews the work and reports against your targets.
  • Security. NDA agreements, secure devices, access controls and confidentiality obligations apply to every account. Team members work on-site in our office, and you set their access in your own systems.

What do logistics BPO services cost?

A dedicated team member starts from $1,500 a month, all-in: salary, benefits, workstation, facility, supervision and HR. You pay one monthly rate per team member, so the person who learned your lanes and carriers is still on your account next peak season.

Our founder runs his own companies on the same math. A managed team member in our Cebu office costs about a quarter of the fully loaded cost of the same US hire and, with our management on the floor, gets about twice as much done: twice as productive at a quarter of the cost. On the salary line alone, clients typically save 53 to 70 percent.

Why Staff Outsourcing Solutions

We have built and run dedicated teams for US companies since 2010: 15 years of customer service and back-office work from one facility in Cebu Business Park. The company is SEC-registered and DOLE-compliant in the Philippines, with a US office in Nixa, Missouri. Thousands of employees and a 1,000-seat capacity across a multi-shift, multi-floor operation mean your team can grow when your freight does.

Our facility has a full building generator for backup power. We have multiple redundant internet services running on separate undersea cables with direct routes to the US and beyond. This allows us to have reliable, low-latency service for our clients.
