Freight forwarding

Freight forwarding consists in organising a shipment by finding transport capacity that matches the customer's actual requirement. The forwarder coordinates the request, the carrier, loading and delivery constraints and the operational follow-up.

No. Freight forwarding can cover a few pallets, a part load, a full truckload or a regular flow. The right solution depends on volume, weight, lead time, destination and the constraints of the goods.

Groupage generally relies on shared transport and distribution networks for parcels, pallets and smaller consignments. Freight forwarding offers a more tailored organisation, particularly for larger loads, special constraints or when a specific vehicle must be sourced.

The forwarder follows the operation and reacts when an event disrupts the shipment. In the event of a breakdown, major delay or incident, the customer is informed and an alternative solution is sought, such as a replacement vehicle, revised planning or a new transport arrangement.

Depending on the requirement, the forwarder can source box trucks, curtainsiders, flatbeds, refrigerated vehicles, tankers or other suitable configurations. Vehicle selection depends on the goods, weight, dimensions, loading method and site-access constraints.

Useful information includes collection and delivery addresses, dates and time windows, the type of goods, number of pallets or parcels, weight, dimensions, handling equipment, access constraints and on-site contacts.

Yes. Freight forwarding can support one-off shipments as well as recurring flows between sites, depots, factories, distribution platforms or customers. Frequency, volumes, time windows, destinations and required equipment are used to build an organisation suited to the actual operation.

Yes. When the goods require a specific configuration, the forwarder can source curtainsiders, box trucks, flatbeds, refrigerated vehicles, tankers, machinery carriers or other suitable equipment. The choice depends on weight, dimensions, loading method, access conditions and regulatory requirements.
