Increasingly complex transport networks require innovative procurement and distribution strategies. Against this background, measures designed to achieve better utilization of available capacities and cut down trips and time taken can considerably reduce costs and improve the level of service. Achieving this is no easy task – especially when you consider that the shortest route is not always the fastest and the fastest is not always the cheapest...

We can help you coordinate your transport flows and ensure that resources are used cost-efficiently and orders are processed on schedule. By considering various supply scenarios simultaneously, such as rolling delivery concepts, consolidation points, milk runs and warehouse-on-wheels concepts, we can help you achieve the optimum transport structures and  processes. In addition to reducing costs and optimizing processes, our planning approaches are primarily designed to give you more flexibility. We achieve this with services such as:

• Analysis of transport structures and cost-efficiency analysis of transport concepts
• Optimization of capacity utilization and reduction of empty trips
• Identification of optimum delivery frequencies
• Design of regional routes and production of corresponding schedules
• Aggregation of suppliers to achieve cost-optimized routes
• Assistance in selection of suppliers
• Implementation of complete risk management concepts using process FMEAs
