References

When companies assess a logistics provider, they look for more than promises: they want tangible evidence. That proof comes in the form of the logistics provider's international logistics references, or proof of performance showing how a provider has solved complex shipping needs, built long-lasting trust, and provided documented evidence of results.

At CAN Transports, we feel that our references tell each of our clients' cargo stories. Our clients include start-up importers, multinational retailers, industrial equipment suppliers, and FMCG distributors who look to us for continuity, precision, and compliance. By sharing or publishing our freight forwarding client portfolio and transportation and shipping case studies, we want to demonstrate a wide range of capabilities while maintaining the confidentiality of our clients' information.

At CAN Transports, our logistics company embodies our core values; consistency is the highest form of service. Whether you are moving one container or managing a program year-round, it is whether you can reproduce that successful service model dozens of times that is proof positive.

The Range of Our Client Portfolio

Our freight forwarding client portfolio encompasses a vast array of industries:

Retail and Fashion: Partial truckloads of clothing and accessories consolidated in Turkey and transported directly to distribution centres in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Industrial and Machinery: Full truckloads of machinery lines and oversized equipment, transporting sensitive spare parts requiring customs consulting and white-glove logistics.
Food and FMCG: Seasonal shipments with set delivery windows for holiday demands and refrigerated options for perishable items.
Technology and Electronics: High-value cargo with bonded storage, insurance options, and proactive risk mitigation.

This diversity means that, as you explore our cantransport project references, you are not only seeing transport examples—you are seeing how logistics, like ours, adapts to the strict DNA of that sector.

References for Turkey-Russia Operations

Most companies find us via Turkey–Russia logistics references, because this corridor is our strongest. We have spent nearly 20 years establishing the infrastructure and partnerships that allow us to provide a seamless delivery on both sides of the border.

We operate from offices in İstanbul and Bursa, which service our on-the-ground production clusters in western Turkey.
Our Moscow office and warehouse provide a local base for distribution, customs clearance, and after-delivery support.
Our team of specialists navigates the complex regulatory environment for Russian customs, handling project compliance and minimizing delays.

Each time we deliver goods from Turkey into Russia, or vice versa, we add another entry into our ever-expanding catalog of successful logistics projects.

Shipping and Transportation Case Studies

Here are some additional anonymised shipping and transportation case studies to highlight our approach:

Heavy construction components into Siberia

A global construction supplier had to ship oversized beams and prefabricated components from Turkey to a project site deep inside Siberia. It required special permitted loads, escort vehicles, and a staged approach over thousands of kilometres. CAN Transports managed route planning, sourced international shipping partners to manage local segments, and overall, our client was able to avoid costly delays and complete the project on time.

Multi-brand consolidation for e-commerce retailers

Small and mid-sized online sellers typically do not have enough volume to fill a truck. We designed a shared LTL program for several e-commerce retailers to consolidate their goods in our İstanbul warehouse. Each shipment was labelled, scanned, and tracked individually while travelling as one partial load. This allowed us to reduce costs by as much as 40% while still providing the level of visibility each client needed.

Urgent shipment of spare parts

A Russian manufacturing plant was facing the shutdown of a line due to a missing shipment of spare parts. We were able to expedite the transport, arranging customs classification and customs documents in a matter of hours. The part was in Moscow from Bursa, in record time, and we had references from our trusted transport clients commending our speedy responsiveness. This case exemplifies that references are not just for large projects—they are for reliability in emergencies.

What Clients are Saying in their Testimonials

Some points emerged as themes in the subsequent logistical company testimonials regardless of industry background:

Responsiveness: "They pivoted easily when regulations changed overnight, CAN Transports kept our loads moving."
Reliability: "I did not have to chase an update; they communicated proactively at every point."
Customs Savvy: "Their consultancy service minimized our compliance exposure and reduced our release times."
Flexibility: "They provided the appropriate solution whether we had one pallet or 30 tons without charging a premium for it."

These pieces of feedback demonstrate the trust that is the foundation of intended long-term relationships in logistics.

Global Connections, Local Expertise

There's a network behind every reference. Our global shipping partners extend our footprint across the European, Central Asian, and Russian regions. Our local teams add value by managing the cultural and regulatory knowledge. Combined, they provide our clients with peace of mind that they deal with a single accountable partner, not an extended chain of accountability.

Further, CAN Transports holds certifications that evidence our focus on international standards. These also reinforce why our regular transport clients choose to work with us year after year.

Concrete Outputs

We think a reference should not just tell a story—it should show evidence of success. That is why our successful logistics projects are targets against clear KPIs:

On-Time Delivery: consistently over 95% (Turkey–Russia lanes)
Customs Clearances: average clearance time up to 30% less than the terminal average or number.
Damaged Shipment Rates: achieved through careful loading, packages indexed and traced with barcodes, and well-managed handover of the shipment from one provider to another.
Communication: built into the logistics, with proactive updates from the shipper or exceptions reported directly to the shipper cited repeatedly in logistics company testimonials.

These aren't marketing numbers—they are operational results that potential partners can validate.

How to Access Specific References

There is a lot of work that cannot be published publicly, as it is covered by NDAs or due to commercial sensitivity. However, prospective clients can request tailored cantransport project references suitable for their industry, for example:

An electronics importer may want to meet other peers who could independently attest to our performance with high-value cargo.
A construction supplier may require evidence of our experience in transporting oversized equipment.
A retailer may wish to see how our shipping and transport case studies can support the client's seasonal distribution issues.

We provide those references on a confidential basis so that our clients' competitive information is not disclosed.

Developing Your Reference Story

Every lasting personal relationship begins with a first shipment. By starting with a pilot project, such as a partial transportation shipment, you can see how we operate in terms of process, communication, and compliance. Then your organization can develop into one of our loyal transport clients, with your success becoming part of our ever-expanding branch of international logistics references.
