In an instant, an agent can have hundreds of good project cargo partners, through OPCA membership, who are ready to cooperate within the general cargo or project cargo industry.

Save Time and Money in One Shot

OPCA is a dedicated platform, which provides speedy sales and marketing opportunity to the members. Thus, if an agent is located in Australia and wants to meet with other agents from Europe and Africa, then he or she cannot go to France for one week and then Egypt the next week. OPCA is managed and operated by INO Networks Group: It arranges an INO Summit every year, which is a joint conference of three independent networks (OPCA, 3F, FM) operated by the group and an event where members can meet members of their own network, including members of other INO Networks in a systematic way.

All Members are invited to attend the INO Summit to exchange leads and develop business. The event is a great opportunity to meet overseas agents that you would, otherwise, rarely get the opportunity to meet. Members also have access to our one-to-one online program, which allows delegates to set up 20 minutes of private business meetings prior to their arrival.

Well Organised Networking Events

A face-to-face meeting plays a significant part in communication and business. It is not just how you said something, but your facial expressions and body posture are also important. Agents mostly do not prefer to give their client’s valuable cargo to one another without some form of meeting or communication.

The INO Summit is a three-day joint conference, which brings the members of three well-known associations together in one place. The summit is held by the participation of the members from OPCA, 3F and FM. These three associations are independent and separate from one another and have different members. Each association serves different expectations, needs and strategies of freight forwarders and logistics companies. They come together for this glorious summit to create perfect synergy, potential and networking opportunities.

The three-day event is a great opportunity for all agents to meet with fellow members and potential partners by attending the social networking events. Attendees are encouraged to take full networking advantages of this great gathering during optional activities (e.g., a city tour, football tournament, paintball tournament, karting race, welcome cocktail and gala dinner), while focusing only on their own network partners during one-to-one meetings. The INO Summit is a unique joint conference with its distinguished feature of keeping each association’s specialty, while giving more networking opportunities to attendees during social events.

Definitely, the INO Summit will be a major success that should not be missed to help you build new business relationships, strengthen existing ties and make new acquaintances with the joint power of INO Networks Group.

Disciplined Cooperation

OPCA has terms and conditions that regulates both the cooperation between members and the relations with the network itself. These rules bring discipline together with stability into cooperation between members. All of our members agree to follow the terms and conditions automatically, due to their membership, and it helps us to have sustainable success.

Members who break the rules are dismissed and replaced by the next best-qualified candidate on our waiting list. The terms and conditions are valid agreements between all members, and they establish the liability and responsibility of each party in the network. These rules are available for our members in the members-only area on our website.

Build Your Brand

Agent networks are where you can display your business reputation and credibility. Being part of OPCA is the strongest endorsement you need to stand out from other freight forwarders. Membership shows your accreditation and integration to the project freight forwarding industry, and it differentiates your company from any other average freight forwarding or logistics company.

A member will support fellow members and will be supported based on mutual benefits.
