Purpose: To substantiate the benefits of utilizing fitting platforms for container freight transportation within railway logistics; to consider the procedures involved in providing freight forwarding services; and to classify the regulatory specifics governing freight forwarding activities according to different vehicle types. Methods: A comparative analysis and assessment of the costs associated with transportation of containerized freight, the duration of transportation along major routes, and the relevant regulatory frameworks that oversee railway freight transportation, alongside the operational processes of organisations that offer comprehensive freight forwarding services. Results: The research object is characterized with respect to its position within the transport and forwarding services market segment. Business processes of freight forwarding companies have been systematized, and a solution has been proposed to eliminate a range of redundant functions. A comparative analysis of cost structures between the operator’s and the forwarder’s container fleets has been presented, thereby substantiating the integration of fitting platforms into extant transportation logistics frameworks. The economic effect has been determined by the difference in cost structures associated with the container fleets of both the operator and the forwarder. Practical significance: The results of this study can be applied within the business processes of freight forwarding companies, facilitating an increase in market share during periods of instability, optimizing transportation expenses, and enabling swift adaptations to evolving logistical conditions.
