Transport by water, rail & air

Transport is the connecting link between all components of the supply chain. New concepts are emerging every day but this is absolutely necessary to meet the challenges of respect for the environment and the planet, traceability and close follow up of customer service and cost of the operation. Every company is therefore looking for methods and solutions to organise the operation as (cost) efficiently as possible. Would you also like to take a thorough look at your transport organisation? Then follow our basic training on transport by water, rail air!
