We take care of the big picture. Down to the most minute detail.

Quality must be quantifiable

To provide us with the ability to evaluate our logistics services in detail, DACHSER has installed a comprehensive system for quality assurance and quality management.

The prerequisite: a uniform, standardized product offering.

The quality of our logistics services must be measurable. Anytime. An abundance of interpretations and indicators, analyses and IT applications creates transparency. This is how our employees evaluate the delivery quality, transit times, possible damages or delivery hindrances, among others, and measure them against set target values that are continuously monitored via deviation analysis.

The prerequisite for setting such quality indicators is a uniform, standardized service offering. For this reason our product families entargo or groupline represent uniform service profiles with consistently high quality standards.

To make the precisely defined service commitments made to you measurable, we implement uniform software standards and central IT databanks. The supply chain event management application "ActiveReport" in particular belongs to this data-supported central quality control. It allows the service departments in the DACHSER branch offices and you to be informed about delivery hindrances in a timely manner.

In our industry solution Chem-Logistics for chemical transports, as well as in the business segment food logistics for the transport of non-frozen temperature-controlled food items, DACHSER has also introduced a system of clearly defined guidelines and monitors compliance on a continuous basis.

Safely to the place of destination

An additional aspect of our quality assurance throughout the entire flow of goods is the conscientious securing of loads before the trip begins. According to industry statistics, insufficiently secured loads cause damages in the amount of roughly four billion Euro per year.

Therefore, our warehouse employees and drivers make sure goods are loaded evenly, without gaps and will not slide, roll or tip over during the trip. This takes place with approximately 8,000 DACHSER trucks per day throughout Europe.
