General cargo, part loads, and part-loads

Vehicle types as services
Vans, tail-lift trucks, tail-lift trucks with drawbar trailers, and semi-trailers are listed in the service catalogue with their own hourly rate.
Zone, hourly, and km rates
Zone, pallet, weight, hourly, and km rates — from list prices and customer agreements to customer-specific pricing. Quick price enquiries turn into orders.
Department-specific rates
Environmental surcharges, index-linked fuel surcharges, and road tolls have separate rates and are automatically added to the order.
Groupage and multiple stops

Pallet exchange
Exchange pallets are recorded upon delivery in the driver app, with an ongoing pallet balance per customer.
Warehouse deliveries to end customers
Delivery from warehouse to multiple recipients on the same order.
Scanning consignment notes into orders
Paper consignment notes are scanned or photographed, and AI populates the order with sender, recipient, and freight. The dispatcher approves.
eCMR, eFTI, and bridge tolls
Digital consignment notes and bridge and ferry tolls added directly to the order.
Driver app with POD
Signatures, photos, and discrepancies are recorded upon delivery.
