Our groupage solution, Consolidate, is the most cost-effective and efficient way to move goods throughout Europe. From one pallet a week to multiple shipments per day we are your here to handle your goods with care.
In the following blog, we explore the key strategies for efficient consolidation and deconsolidation to achieve economies of scale and ensure timely deliveries.
Consolidation lies at the core of optimising groupage logistics. In our fast-paced world, where businesses seek smarter ways to move goods across borders, efficient consolidation proves to be a game-changer.
The Consolidate (our Less Than Load/Groupage offering) Solution emerges as a leader, offering a smart and cost-effective approach for businesses unable to fill a trailer or looking for greener alternatives.
Daily Departures and Multi-Destination Collections: The key to efficient consolidation is flexibility. Daily departures and the ability to collect from multiple destinations in one sweep provide businesses with the agility needed to adapt to varying shipment volumes and destinations.
Speedy Transit and Frictionless Customs Clearance: Timeliness is of the essence in groupage logistics. The promise of rapid transit into the EU within 48-72 hours and frictionless 30-minute customs clearance for DDP shipments ensures that businesses can maintain a smooth flow of goods without unnecessary delays.
Economies of Scale with DHL Freight: Our partnership with DHL Freight, as the exclusive sales partner, adds a significant dimension to efficient consolidation. With direct access to one of the only controlled networks in Europe, businesses benefit from economies of scale, ensuring that goods are handled with care under the umbrella of one of the world’s largest logistics brands.
While efficient consolidation sets the stage, successful groupage logistics also requires effective deconsolidation strategies. The balancing act continues as businesses aim to break down larger shipments into smaller, more manageable units for timely and cost-effective distribution.
Tailored Solutions with Dedicated Account Managers: A dedicated Account Manager is the linchpin in effective deconsolidation. With expertise in solving issues and a commitment to personalised service, businesses can navigate the complexities of deconsolidation with confidence
Daily Shipments for Regular Movements: Recognising the rhythm of business, the availability of daily shipments out of the UK ensures regular movements into Europe. This strategic approach to deconsolidation allows businesses to maintain a consistent flow of goods without disruptions.
Addressing Customs Challenges with 24/7 Support: Deconsolidation often involves dealing with customs intricacies. The Consolidate solution boasts a dedicated customs team available 24/7, ensuring that details are scrutinized before engaging with global partners, such as Gerlach, with an impressive 140 years of experience in customs processes.
