DACHSER Food Logistics in detail
The vivengo product family offers customers standardized logistics services which have been specially tailored to meet the needs of the food industry. Predictable transit times, precise planning of delivery times and cost structures which can be calculated in advance, as well as end-to-end transparency, provide the client with the security necessary to reliably move goods.
With the Frankfurt Food Logistics Eurohub, the company is unique among food logistics firms in maintaining a central European logistics hub. From this hub, the goods move directly to the DACHSER facilities and European partners. This allows for time savings of one whole day in 13 countries. For groupage consolidation and small shipments within Germany, the goods can be delivered within 24 hours. These transit time gains typically provide DACHSER customers with a clear competitive advantage. Clear, globally applied rules and processes in executing transport, as well as efficient processes, fast transit times and set route schedules, create the optimal conditions for the transport of particularly fragile and time-sensitive food products.
The efficient management of goods movements is made possible by the fully synchronized, IT-supported execution of all transport orders. The internal IT department consistently uses all standard interfaces and message formats which are typical for the food industry. Via our internal EDI center, all customer documents are read and quickly processed. At the same time, the center also connects all DACHSER branches and partner locations with one another. Thorough transparency and safety are ensured via the electronic data exchange using end-to-end, bar code supported processes, including reliable tracking and tracing. Customers automatically receive proactive information about the status of their shipment via ActiveReport. Through eLogistics, DACHSER customers are able to submit, process and track their transport orders particularly quickly.
Clients can rely on the safe transport and skilled handling of goods at every stage of the supply chain – as demonstrated by our low damage rates. In addition to proven standard processes and high-quality equipment, this is possible most of all thanks to our excellently trained employees with their extensive knowledge of food logistics. DACHSER employees at our branches advise their customers on the right sort of packaging as well. Truck drivers regularly received driver training and courses in the correct handling of food and transport safety.
