3. Loyal customer base: The customer base consists of globally renowned names which outsource the majority of their distribution and logistics activities to the company. 

4. Flexible: The company can easily shift from one service category to another due to its relatively small size.

5. One-stop shop: The company acts as a one-stop shop for companies looking for a supply chain partner because of its service offering.
