Executive Assistant Packages for Logistics and Supply Chain Companies
EA service packages combine defined service scope, hours, and pricing into a structured offering. For logistics companies evaluating managed EA services, understanding how packages are structured, what each tier includes, and what is typically excluded helps ensure accurate comparison and appropriate expectation-setting.
Package Structure Fundamentals
EA service packages for logistics companies are typically defined by:
Hours included. The number of assistant hours per month covered by the package fee. Overages (hours above the included amount) are typically billed at a defined rate.
Service scope. The types of tasks covered. Standard scopes include calendar management, travel coordination, communications support, and meeting preparation. Some packages exclude specific categories.
Dedicated vs. shared assignment. Whether the same assistant serves the client consistently.
Response time commitment. How quickly the assistant is expected to respond to requests during business hours.
Quality assurance level. The depth of service provider involvement in monitoring and maintaining quality.

Add-Ons and Custom Scope
Many EA service providers offer add-ons that expand the standard package scope:
Personal assistant functions: Scheduling personal appointments, managing personal travel, research for personal decisions. Some logistics executives want their EA to handle personal logistics; others prefer strict business-only scope.
Team support: Support for other members of the executive team (the CEO’s executive team EA support). Pricing for team support is typically discounted from individual rates.
Specialized research: Deep-dive market research, competitive analysis, or due diligence support for specific strategic projects. Often priced as project fees outside the standard monthly package.
International support: Additional hours or specialized capabilities for logistics executives with significant international operations.
Package Selection for Logistics Companies
The right package for a logistics company depends on the CEO’s administrative volume, the complexity of their stakeholder relationships, and their budget.
A useful starting point: estimate the weekly hours of administrative work the CEO currently manages personally. Match a package tier to that volume, with a modest buffer for tasks that will naturally be delegated more as the relationship matures.
According to Forbes, the most effective executive support packages are those that cover the full scope of the CEO’s administrative needs rather than a subset that requires the executive to manage the remainder personally.

Negotiating Package Terms
Most EA service providers have standard packages but are open to customization for logistics companies with specific needs. Areas where customization is often possible:
Contract length in exchange for pricing discount. Scope adjustments to include or exclude specific function categories. Response time commitments adjusted for logistics operational urgency needs. Trial period terms that allow evaluation before long-term commitment.
Approach package negotiation as a collaborative conversation: explain your specific logistics needs, ask what flexibility the provider can offer, and focus on finding terms that work for both parties rather than extracting maximum concessions.
