What is Loyalty’s mission, and how does it guide the company’s day-to-day operations?
Loyalty’s mission has always been clear: to do better. We aimed to build a company driven by heart, not just profit, where success stems from the collective effort of many. Our goal was to impact not only our offices but also our carriers, customers, and the world at large. We envisioned a company that transcends the label of just a logistics provider, one that disrupts the industry by investing in people.
Through challenges and learning curves, we’ve developed a system that empowers every employee to excel. While leadership provides guidance and support, ultimately, each staff member must choose to do the work themselves. Loyalty operates on principles of integrity, transparency, and customer satisfaction, guided by a mission focused on trust, collaboration, and excellence. These principles shape every decision and action, driving us to make a global impact in the logistics industry.

In the end, we cannot control what happens; we can simply work to keep a close eye on many different facets and ensure quick, consistent communication while we work together to manage any potential storms that may arise.
As Customer satisfaction plays a crucial in the logistics industry, how does Loyalty ensure a high level of customer satisfaction?
Once again, on the surface, we utilize certain key tools to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction; loyalty employs various strategies such as 24/7 customer service availability, satellite tracking for real-time shipment monitoring, and maintaining the highest standards of service and efficiency.
Now, behind the surface is what helps to drive these tools and make them efficient. – we empower anyone who is in a role to extend the Loyalty service. From intern to directorship, everyone receives commissions, and those commissions are uncapped.
Distributing our commissions so vastly through many different departments gives us assurances that every department is working to the best of its capacity. A commission, regardless of how big or small the loss, will be felt by many individuals, so this creates an autonomous accountability system to again ensure the best customer service from all departments.
Next we work hard to ensure our staff is consistently striving for greatness. We have very very strict KPI monitoring on the “Work” of every staff member to ensure they are following what we defined as the path to success. These metrics have been tested, and designed to ensure the success of each employee to grow within our organization. At the end we tend to focus on the work vs. the results. We believe that if the work is constant and consistent then success is bound to happen one way or another.

As a forward-thinking company, we would never be where we are today without taking calculated risks; sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t – we take pride in the learning regardless of the results and always work to ensure we can mitigate any risk at the expenses of our own securities vs. those of our shipping partners. Embodying this mindset allows us to test outside-the-box concepts while again keeping the risk to our partners to a minimum.
Can you discuss any CRM strategies or tools utilized to personalize the customer experience and address specific client needs?
Loyalty utilizes TMS and CRM platforms to personalize the customer experience and address specific client needs. This includes maintaining detailed customer profiles, tracking interactions and preferences, and implementing feedback mechanisms to gather insights for continuous improvement.
Loyalty has aligned itself with a strategic TMS partner, Alvys, to develop a custom system that is befitting Loyalty Operations. We spoke with every major TMS provider in the market, and Alvys was the one willing to adapt to our specific needs instead of forcing Loyalty to change their ways. ALVYS was the only one to embody the concept of “No, But.”
To maintain such high KPIs as a 98% customer retention rate and a 94% employee retention rate, we needed to have a system tailor-made to our needs while providing solutions to automate many different systems Loyalty currently uses to maintain those KPIs.
As the sustainability factor is increasingly important in logistics, how does Loyalty address environmental concerns, such as carbon emissions, and promote sustainable packaging?

Once this goal is achieved this one initiative will be producing the same amount of oxygen as 240,000 Mature trees daily and we will continue to again work with existing and new shipping partners to apply as much of this coating as we are capable
“Miyawaki Forest// Pocket Forest”
Loyalty has sourced 2 hectors of agricultural land vastly located in Guadalajara Region of Mexico. We plan to use this land to start to develop complex miniature “Pocket Forests” conjointly with our shipping partners up to 500m2 square per plot.
