Transport planning

With our sophisticated and constantly improved computer system every transport planner at our strategic positioned terminals is part of the planning process and oversees the status of the shipments. As an international operating company we arrange, combine and integrate road, rail, air and sea transportation needs.

The optimization of our supply chain considers utilization, delivery times, customer priorities, special customer requests and cost structures. This enables us to plan rationally, identify problems, evaluate alternatives and find solutions to outperform our competitors and fulfill the requirements of our customers.

„The transport planning within the Jerich transportation network is one of our core strengths. As an international operating company we arrange, combine and integrate road, rail, air and sea transportation needs. “
