Our A.C.T.I.O.N Methodology
At Scanlon Freight, the way we approach every shipment and project is what sets us apart. But this level of precision and care doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of years of refining our process to ensure the best possible outcomes for our customers.
How we came up with A.C.T.I.O.N.
Like most great ideas, A.C.T.I.O.N. wasn’t born in a boardroom with a whiteboard full of buzzwords. It came from frustration—frustration with complicated frameworks that looked great on paper but fell apart in the real-world.
We’ve all been there. You start with a great idea, spend hours (or months) planning, and when it’s time to implement… things don’t go as expected. Either the plan is too rigid, people aren’t on the same page, or unexpected challenges derail everything. We saw this happen again and again, whether in business, project management, or even personal goal-setting.
So we asked ourselves: What actually works? What do successful teams, leaders, and problem-solvers do differently?
The lightbulb moment
As we studied successful execution—whether in start ups, corporate strategy, or everyday decision-making—we noticed a pattern. The best results didn’t come from overly complex strategies. They came from a cycle of understanding, building, adapting, and executing.
That’s when the idea clicked. We mapped out six key steps that consistently led to success.
More Than a Method—It’s How We Work
Assess – First, understand the situation. What’s working? What’s broken? What are we solving for?
Create – Once you know the problem, design a solution that actually makes sense.
Tailor – No one-size-fits-all solutions here. Adapt the plan to the people, constraints, and realities at hand.
Inform – A brilliant plan is useless if no one knows about it. Communication is key.
Operate – This is where the rubber meets the road. Action over analysis paralysis.
Navigate – Nothing ever goes 100% according to plan. Pivot, adjust, and keep moving forward.
And then it hit us—the acronym spelled A.C.T.I.O.N. Perfect. Because at the end of the day, that’s what matters: getting things done, the right way.
With A.C.T.I.O.N., we don’t just solve problems—we create lasting impact. And we’re here to help you do the same.
What A.C.T.I.O.N means for you
Assess – Every successful delivery starts with understanding the full picture.
Create – We design the best logistics solutions tailored to each shipment.
Tailor – No two shipments are the same; we customise every approach.
Inform – Clear communication ensures alignment at every step.
Operate – Execution is where we shine—on time, every time.
Navigate – The unexpected happens, and we’re ready to adapt and adjust.
At Scanlon Freight, we don’t just follow A.C.T.I.O.N. —we live it. It’s in the way we anticipate challenges, the way we communicate with our customers, and the way we deliver results. Every shipment, every project, every time. This is what makes us different. This is what makes us Scanlon Freight.

Our Solutions
Air Freight
Air freight is the fastest way to transport urgent cargo worldwide—often at a moment’s notice. Whether you need express shipping, same-day delivery, or international freight solutions, we ensure your shipment arrives on time, every time.
Sea Freight
Sea freight is the most cost-effective and eco-friendly way to transport goods globally, making it essential for businesses expanding into international markets. Scanlon Freight provide end-to-end freight management with tailored, flexible solutions to suit your shipping needs.
Road Freight
Road freight is a flexible, cost-effective solution for transporting goods across Europe, offering greater control and real-time GPS tracking. Often more economical than air freight, it provides a reliable balance between speed and affordability. Scanlon Freight delivers comprehensive, time-critical transport solutions, including customs clearance, ensuring your shipments move seamlessly and efficiently across borders.
