Eurodis expands its European combined freight network
UK Mail and French Sernam Group are the new members of the Eurodis combined freight network Two new partners have boarded the Eurodis system, the leading European distribution network for the joint transport of palletised goods and parcels (combined freight) according to their own account. Since June Sernam (for France) and UK Mail (for Great Britain and Ireland) are part of the network. „Thus we managed to rise to Champions League of European logistics cooperations”, Carsten Siebe, Managing Director of Eurodis, emphasises on the importance of this expansion step. The association of Eurodis includes the trans-o-flex Logistics Group in Germany and Benelux, Redur in Spain and Portugal as well as Österreichische Post AG with its parcel and logistics subsidiaries in South Eastern Europe. The distinguishing feature of Eurodis compared to other freight forwarding or parcel networks is the continuous transportation and delivery of pallets and parcels within one network (combined freight). „The combined-freight model offers sound advantages for companies who want to be flexible in the organisation of their logistics chain and to whom the efficient shipment of parcels and pallets within one network is important”, explains Kai Schmuck, Managing Director of trans-o-flex Logistics Group. To be able to organise a flawless international exchange of goods with a high degree of transparency for customers and partners alike, Eurodis following a successful test phase put a new IT-platform for the data exchange among the partners into operation in April. The new system facilitates the distribution and conversion of the shipment and status data and thus a smooth data flow based on standardised interfaces. „This way the customers of each partner can continue to work with the system they are used to, and also receive data of their international shipments via this system“, states Siebe.
