When you're manufacturing or distributing building materials like scaffolding, gates, HVAC systems or equipment for construction sites, the last thing you want is for your cargo to be damaged, delayed, or stuck in transit.

Yet that’s exactly what makes your customers switch to a different provider.

In a sector where delivery timing and cargo condition directly impact project timelines and customer trust, transport isn’t just logistics — it’s business-critical. And for SMEs trying to balance cost and performance, the challenge is even greater.

Safety, reliability, and speed are essential for your deliveries — but what if there was a new solution that could help you cut your transport costs by up to 30% without compromising these key factors?

Groupage: Affordable but Risky

Groupage transport is a go-to option for companies shipping partial loads. You pay only for the space you use, which makes sense — until the hidden costs show up.

Here's what often happens:

  • Your cargo changes trucks multiple times
  • It passes through reloading hubs
  • It’s combined with other freights multiple times
  • Delays build up
  • Damages occur
  • Status updates are vague or delayed
  • Sometimes even pallets get lost!
  • Price is not sure until you get the invoice

Yes, groupage can save money on paper. But if your delivery gets damaged, delayed, or lost — that cost-saving quickly becomes a margin-killer.

The Smart Groupage Alternative - the Economy option

Economy option is built for compnaies like yours - ones that move cargo regularly but don't want to choose between cost and quality.

Here's how it works:

  • We match your load with verified trucks already on the move in your area
  • Your cargo travels on one truck, directly from point A to B
  • No reloading. No cross-docking. No nonsense
  • 24/7 Track & Trace monitors the shipment in real time
  • Only carriers from our trusted network are selected — and only after we verify they’re the best match for your load requirements

Thanks to this AI-powered load matching, we optimize routes, reduce idle capacity, and offer highly competitive pricing — without ever compromising reliability. That’s how it works when you use our Economy option.
