Hey,

I'm trying to learn more about agents in freight forwarding. From what I've understood so far, every freight forwarder needs an agent in the country they're operating in (for ex, if you're a FF from France and operating in Spain, you need an agent based in Spain that knows the rules, the people, the language etc). I'm wondering, does agents operate on their own like they have their own business (their business being an agent) or do they work with another FF company based in their country and just operate as an employee?

Few other questions if anyone's willing to answer :

- if you're not employed by a FF, how do you get paid?

- what are the best qualifications or certifications out there proving that you're a real agent?

- if you're not employed by a FF, how do you find people to work with?

Thanks a lot!

As Salam Aleykum,

Like the title says, I built a Quran app, but not any regular Quran app. I built an app that lets you upload your lost ones' recitations.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When a man dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant who prays for him (for the deceased)." The app will, inshaaAllah, give good deeds to your loved ones long after their death, just by listening to their recitation and sharing it.

I want it to work as a completely normal Quran app where you can listen to any Surah, I added a couple of features :

- a place to upload when you're not sure of what surah they are reciting

- a place to write a word about the person reciting

- a way to find easily Surah/Reciters

I built it on Replit but have no idea how to move forward with my idea now. If anyone is willing to help that would be of wonderful help!

And let me know what you think overall of my project.

BarakAllahufikum.

Hey guys,

I'm a young business owner seeking knowledge in logistics/freight forwarding, I have a couple of questions that only people that have been/are in the industry can answer.

Title of this post is one of them, I'll probably create other posts for my other questions but if someone's kind enough to DM me with info that would be AWESOME!

Here are my other questions :

•	Can you explain what do you ask your client once you close them, can you explain what are the steps once you get a client?

•	How does your clients pay you ? How do you charge them? Is it when the freight has arrived ? 

•	What are the different actors you interact with? Except your clients.

•	How do you choose the people you work with ? I mean your contractors, and how do you manage the contracts with them

- What softwares do you mainly use as a freight forwarder?

- What would you say are now the biggest pains points of a freight forwarder?
