Territorial forwarder
The idea of the territorial forwarder concept seeks to achieve in the field of procurement logistics and distribution logistics the goal of interconnecting resources and reducing transportation costs.
Brief description
The territorial freight forwarder is usually the main forwarder in a company, and his job is to accumulate supplies from various suppliers in order to then hand them over at the destination. The same way this system works in distribution. The forwarder receives the goods and distributes them to predetermined and ranked recipients.
The advantage of this concept is that all individual orders are associated with one freight forwarder, and thus the execution remains centrally in one company. Next, the environmental benefits cannot be forgotten, as fewer vehicles are on the road.
This system requires increased organizational effort in the initial preparation as well as the structuring of mileage, but brings long-term reductions in necessary vehicles, lower overall transportation costs as well as increased timeliness.
