Parcel carrier and logistics networks for flexible shipping routes
In German the sector is abbreviated to KEP – courier, express and parcel services. We connect these carriers alongside logistics networks and transport companies, so the right route is available for every shipment.

Duration: 0:30One shipping route does not suit every shipment
A parcel to a private address, a pallet to a central warehouse and a time-critical spare part delivery place very different demands on logistics. We therefore keep several shipping routes available and select the appropriate one per shipment – by size, weight, destination and deadline.
