When you manufacture or distribute office desks, restaurant seating, hotel furnishings or bespoke furniture components, the last thing you want is for your cargo to be damaged, delayed or stuck in transit.

Yet that’s exactly what drives your clients to look elsewhere.

In an industry where on-time delivery and pristine condition directly influence your reputation and your customers’ project deadlines, transport isn’t just logistics—it’s business-critical. And for SMEs juggling tight margins and high expectations, the stakes are even higher.

Safety, reliability and speed are non-negotiable—so what if you could cut your transport costs by up to 30% without giving any of those up?

LTL (Groupage): Cost-Effective but High-Risk

Many furniture makers turn to groupage (shared-load) transport to save on part-load shipments—you only pay for the space you occupy. On paper, it’s a bargain — until the hidden risks materialize:

• Multiple handling steps: Your chairs, tables or panels are unloaded and reloaded at hubs.
  ‍
• Excessive transfers: Your cargo may change trucks several times before reaching its destination.
  ‍
• Lengthy delays: Each transfer risks adding days to your schedule.
  ‍
• Damage exposure: Fine-finished components, delicate veneers or upholstered items can get scratched, dented or crushed.
  ‍
• Poor visibility: Vague or infrequent status updates leave you—and your clients—in the dark.
  ‍
• Surprise charges: Final invoices often include unexpected fees.

A seemingly cheap groupage quote can quickly turn into a margin-eater when you factor in repairs, rush replacements or unhappy clients.
