Introduction
Process of globalization of markets in the world and the activities of international corporations create conditions for the growth of demand for freight forwarding services.The unique geographical position of Ukraine gives Ukrainian freight forwarders struggle for influence in the market of freight forwarding services, despite the crisis.
The world currently observed on the one hand, globalization, and the other, producers are aspire to nondiversification.Producers give back many functions to outsourcing companies.In this regard, along with carriers, stevedoring, agency, freight companies an important role in the process of transportation is freight-forwarding companies, which at the time interested in increasing their list of services.
The main task of forwarding companies are organizing, coordinating and ensuring the delivery from shipper to consignee.Freight forwarding company is a legal entity, it is responsible for delivering the freight on time, without losing its quality and quantity in a given time conditions.According to the signed contract of freight forwarding services, freight forwarding company must constantly track the location of cargo management decisions that ensure the timely delivery of cargo to coordinate cooperation between different participants of delivery.Currently used methods are uneffective decision-making, leading to losses.
These circumstances require improvement methodology management of freight forwarding company in particular, and freight forwarding system as a whole.This is possible only using modern mathematical methods and informational technologies and will improve the work of forwarding companies.
The object of research in the article is interaction processes of participants in freight forwarding system.The subject of inquiry is regularity functioning freight forwarding system.
Proceedings are devoted mainly to the research of the features of the market of transport-forwarding service since its appearance (Nagornyy & Naumov, 2009), in-depth study of complex service delivery (Naumov, 2009;Jan & Kiryukhina, 2005;Popovych, 2016;Shevchuk, 2016), defining the role of freight forwarders as the market as a whole and identify a number of problems in the Ukrainian freight forwarding (Hryhorak & Kotsyuba, 2006;Levkovets, 2003) enterprises.Analyzing the market of logistics services in Ukraine (Hryhorak & Kotsyuba, 2006), the authors draw conclusions that the main international and domestic freight flows are distributed between foreign freight forwarders.
It should be noted that in scientific works much emphasis on economic issues of forwarding activities.Not enough attention is focused on the analysis of the interaction between the participants place greater focus on forwarding activities.This makes it difficult to identify areas for further research in the area of improving the functioning freight forwarding system.

Research methods
Methods of study: theory of systems and systems analysis, methods of induction and deduction.As sources of information used and applied work of fundamental importance known foreign and local scientists and regulatory and legislative documents of Ukraine for the state transport policy.

Research results
Freight forwarding activity exempt from non-core functions of delivery freight to the consumer, including the need to interact with other companies (agents, carriers, etc.).
The legal and organizational basis for freight forwarding activities in Ukraine are governed by regulations, the main ones are: Civil Code of Ukraine; Economic Code of Ukraine; The freight forwarding activities Act of Ukraine; The Transport Act of Ukraine; Foreign Economic Activity Act of Ukraine; The transit of cargo Act of Ukraine, etc.
According to The freight forwarding activity, forwarding activity -business activity is the provision of freight forwarding services on organization and transportation of export, import, transit or other cargo (The Law of Ukraine, 2004).
Also, freight forwarding activities can be characterized as transport activities in the field, covering the full range of operations and service delivery from producer to consumer (Shanova, Popova, & Gorev, 2011).

The key document in the provision of freight forwarding services is a contract of freight forwarding.Under this contract the forwarder shall: organize shipping transport and the route is selected by forwarder or customer; obliged to conclude on their own behalf or on behalf of a client contract of carriage; secure sending and receiving of goods; and other duties related to transportation.The agreement of freight forwarding may provide as additional services needed for the delivery (check the quantity and condition of cargo, its loading and unloading, payment of duties, fees and expenses assigned to the client, storage of goods to its receipt at the destination, receiving necessary for export and import documents, customs formalities, etc.) (Jan & Kiryukhina, 2005).
According to The freight forwarding activities, participants forwarding business is customers, carriers, freight forwarders, transport agents, ports, railway stations, associations and enterprises specialized rail, air, road, river and sea transport, customs brokers and other persons performing work (services) for the carriage of freight (The Law of Ukraine, 2004).
In the process of transporting cargo need to implement a number of additional, related transactions are directly attributable to freight forwarding operations.They perform independent enterprises and organizations, which is the link between the clientele and the carrier and between different modes of transport in cargo handling areas.At present the scope of forwarding activity is increasingly becoming an independent subsector at the junction between the transport and freight forwarding, while integrating with the sphere of transportation services on the one hand, and the production and distribution -on the other.The subject that is defining the market demand for tonnage, was the forwarder.The impact of freight forwarders in recent years strengthened its position in relation to transport and occupies a key position of transport, freight forwarding forming system.Speaking about transport and forwarding system, it is understood that the freight forwarder is a central element in the development of the route and its delivery technologies, forms a complete load of the vehicle and affect pricing.Addressing organized transportation on a large number of areas and working with an unlimited number of cargo, he can have a contractual basis with discount rates of traffic that has a positive effect on the reduction of through freight rates.The concentration of supply in the hands forwarding allows you to maintain demand at slightly less than the proposal "tonnage" of all sectors of the market by a skilled redistribution between the different modes of transport using the free areas, thereby adjusting the seasonal and cyclical ups and downs of demand for freight forwarders services, cargo congestion at crossings.
Freight forwarder organizes and delivers the cargo with systems "door to door" and "just in time", which provide clear and coordinated work of different modes of transport.
Freight forwarding services can be divided into two main types: delivering and shipping.The Elements of freight forwarding services can be classified as follows (Shyriaieva, & Selivanova, 2014): 1) Transportation Services: -chartering vehicles; -transport of cargo; 2) Loading and unloading cargo: -loading and unloading of transport, including automobile transport, on the stations (ports), on the storage of freight owners; -cargo handling; -forming and unforming of unit load; -repair of transport containers (tare); -packaging, linking, fastening of cargo; -loading cargo to the containers and unloading from them; 3) Warehousing: -storaging of freight; -sort of cargo; -create identification code of cargo -reception and delivery of cargo, checking of quantity, weight, quality of cargo, packaging and tare; -stocking small loads and making units loads of cargo; -unstocking unit loads for delivery to consignee; 4) Arrangement and equipping vehicles: -cleaning waggon, lower hold, carbody and conteiners; -provision of equipment of packaging for cargo owner; -equipment of waggones, vehicles, and automobiles: materials for loading and unloading cargo; 5) Registration document reception and delivery of goods: -registration accompanying inventory, trade and transport, phytosanitary, quarantine, consular and other documentation; -registration forwarding of goods; -commercial registration acts shortage, surplus, damage, injury, loss of cargo and containers; -presentation of goods to be carried in public places and common use at stations (ports) of departure; -delivery of cargo to the station (port) of destination; ‹ 19 › 6) Logistics services: -distribution services, warehousing, procurement and logistics information; 7) Customs services: -declaration of goods in customs; -cargo counseling on issues related to declaration of the goods; -registration of the cargo customs declaration and related documents for the goods; -payments for customs duties; 8) Cargo Insurance: -preparation and contract cargo insurance; -payment of premiums; -execution of relevant documents in the insurance case and get him indemnity; 9) Payment and financial services: -registration and payment for freight service, custom duty, penalties, ect.; -payment for operations of the cargo delivery, cargo handling, storaging, etc.; 10) Information services: -informing the consignee (consignor) of the location of cargo arrival to the destination; -checking location tracking of cargo from point of origin to destination; -messaging consignee (consignor) of the arrival of empty or loaded vehicle; -the consignor of delivery of cargo to the consignee; -messaging the consignee (consignor) of the cargo crossing the border; -messaging the consignee (consignor) about load cargo on the rolling stock or vessel, unload of cargo; 11) Other forwarding services: -the development and harmonization of technical conditions of loading and securing of cargo; -search (if necessary) after the expiry of cargo delivery; -monitoring compliance with the rules of complete shipment; -remarking goods; -maintenance and repair of containers; -renting cars, containers, warehouses, terminals and other facilities for the provision of freight forwarding services; -consulting; -outsourcing; -other services on request.Subjects of forwarding system are: public authorities (customs and border authorities, judicial authorities, law enforcement bodies, the administration of ports, airports, railways, highways); consumers of services (producers, buyers, intermediaries); service providers (carriers, terminals, freight forwarding company, agents, insurance companies, consulting and leasing companies, associations, surveyors, logistics companies).
Freight forwarding system -is a collection of all the participants, works and services aimed at meeting the needs of transport and forwarding services on organization and transport of export, import, transit or other goods through the interaction of all elements forwarding system.
The aim functioning forwarding system is a comprehensive optimization of freight forwarding services and the minimization of the costs incurred.
Foreign experience shows that implementing the principles of a systematic approach to the practice of transport -forwarding companies increase their efficiency by 20 -35%.The systems approach, first of all, must appear in a clear integration and interaction of all elements of the transport process.
Basis forwarding system are different production, transportation, trade, information, financial and other subsystems that operate primarily on the basis of commodity-money relations.Formation of any subsystem must determine the integrity of the system.Each element forwarding system to some extent independent and has its own purpose.It aims to achieve a common goal for the system, which is the main limitation of costeffective, efficient and reliable operation.
All processes of management and organization of the transport process must be based on a flexible system, independent of external factors, and be able to switch from one form to another, creating new structural composition of different transport subsystems.The main goal of a flexible structure forwarding system is approaching the capabilities of its various elements, thereby ensuring technological continuity and compatibility of various units of the system.The basis of such constructions should be not only financial and economic criteria that allow Forwarding System achieve its objectives with the most efficient and effective criteria and technical and technological cooperation.
