Freight forwarder 4.0 dedicated to glass transportation
ABOUT
Glass transport is confronted to three main problems:
-
More than 40% of transport kilometres are carried out empty, resulting in losses of 400 million euros on a European scale.
-
As glass is a fragile material, transport generates between 1.5 and 2% breakage, representing a loss of €30 million in Europe.
-
The stillages used to transport and store flat glass are lost, mistreated and replaced reaching a cost of €6 million per year.
In front of those logistical challenges, the FITTliner solution provides all the answers as a 4.0 transport commissioner dedicated to glass transport.
