What work can your offshore team handle?

Start with recurring responsibilities and the decisions your team needs to review. These examples help you define the brief.

Shipment Coordination

Track milestones, follow up missing documentation and prepare delivery updates. Escalate delays using the transport manager’s priority rules.

Exception Handling

Record discrepancies, collect supporting information and coordinate customer communication. The operations lead approves changes to routes, service commitments and claims.

Inventory and Procurement Support

Reconcile inventory information, maintain supplier records and prepare purchasing reports. Your team decides stock policies, suppliers and expenditure.

Making Logistics Information Useful

Adaca developed logistics visibility software for Cora Group, bringing operational information into a clearer view.

The engagement provides sector experience in the information and handovers behind logistics operations. It was a software project, not a Covela staffing engagement.

Clear Access. Clear Approvals.

Your operations team retains dispatch authority, transport safety, customs decisions and supplier commitments. Agree after-hours escalation separately from routine coordination.

Your Systems and Review Points

Describe your transport, warehouse and order management systems. Define milestone codes, exception categories, cut-off times and the local contact for urgent delivery issues.

ISO 27001-Certified Operations

Covela’s staffing service is covered by ISO 27001 certification. Agree the information each role needs, the access you authorise and the review and escalation requirements before onboarding.

How recruitment and onboarding work ↗

Questions About Your Logistics & Supply Chain Team

Scope the role before recruitment, so everyone knows what the person will own and when to ask for guidance.

Can support work across carriers and warehouses?

List the systems and reporting formats involved. Standardise milestone definitions and give the coordinator a clear owner for unresolved discrepancies.

How are urgent delivery exceptions handled?

Set urgency thresholds, escalation contacts and response expectations before onboarding. The coordinator gathers information and follows the agreed escalation route; your operations lead makes the decision.

Who manages the person’s daily work?

Your business sets priorities, gives instructions and reviews the work. Covela recruits and employs your people, handles payroll and HR, and coordinates ongoing people support.

How long does recruitment take?

We assess your brief and provide candidate profiles within 48 hours. Hiring generally takes around two weeks, assuming two to three interview rounds and candidate refinement. The person may then start immediately or up to four weeks later, depending on their notice period.
