In today’s industry, customers and business approach us with a wide variety of distribution needs. Here at Welch Transport, we provide a groupage service that prioritises customers’ needs with how much space they need for their distribution. This proves a particularly cost-effective method for pallet deliveries which might only need one singular vehicle. To help our customers understand the process, we have broken down some key advantages of groupage transport below.
1. It puts customers first
Groupage transport is the process of collecting and combining your goods into an efficient bundle to be transported. The process means that when you store these goods for transportation, you only pay for the amount of space you have used. At the same time, the groupage process can involve collecting smaller shipments together to create one singular delivery. By using a groupage transportation provider, customers can also rest easy that their goods will be protected and upheld by quality control checks along the way.
2. It saves costs
Groupage shipping is particularly cost-effective because bundling items together and shipping as one is cheaper than delivering each shipment individually. This saves our customers money. This is due to the fact your delivery costs will be effectively shared across a larger container. Alongside cutting delivery costs, groupage delivery makes delivery more efficient. For businesses looking to transport a large number of goods, choosing groupage distribution undoubtedly saves money in the long run – you can leave the details to your haulage company and focus your attention to more important areas of your business.
3. It saves the planet
Groupage transport has a third crucial advantage. Alongside reducing costs, grouping your products for transportation will in turn reduce the impact on the environment, compared to individual haulage for each item. Nowadays, sustainability has become ever-more at the forefront of businesses’ priorities, and reducing your carbon footprint through smarter, more efficient delivery is key.
Groupage distribution has many advantages. It provides a tailored service for our customers and saves them time and money. Here at Welch Transport, we can work out the most efficient distribution method for you. To explore our range of haulage options, get in touch today.
