Abstract:
This study explores the challenges encountered in freight forwarding for high-value goods, specifically focusing on
security and compliance concerns at Acumen Intra Logistics. As global trade continues to expand, the transportation of
high-value goods has become increasingly complex, necessitating enhanced security protocols and rigorous compliance
with national and international regulations. The analysis examines how Acumen Intra Logistics manages these
challenges, considering both logistical and regulatory factors. Through a detailed survey of employees and stakeholders
within the organization, data on various security risks, compliance adherence, and operational efficiency were collected.
To assess the significance of these challenges, a T-test was applied to compare the differences in perceived risk and
compliance issues across different logistics teams. The T-test helped identify whether the differences in responses were
statistically significant, offering insights into the effectiveness of existing security measures and compliance strategies.
Results indicate that while Acumen Intra Logistics has implemented comprehensive security frameworks, there are still
significant gaps in specific areas, such as real-time tracking and regulatory documentation. The findings emphasize the
need for continuous improvement in both security technologies and compliance training programs. Recommendations
for addressing these challenges are also discussed, focusing on the integration of advanced technologies such as
blockchain and AI, as well as enhanced stakeholder collaboration.
