L705E - Logistics Providers with Adrenaline in Their Blood
The large logistics companies are mainly focused on the standardized solutions such as “ready-made”. Special high-speed solutions are implemented in short intervals of time upon individual requests. time:matters, the German company for courier services, same-day deliveries and logistics for extreme circumstances, reveals a case of its practice: An automobile manufacturer whose factory is situated in Great Britain will be forced to stop its production lines in 12 hours because of the lack of some production part. time:matters should supply the necessary production parts on time. Many problems occur on the way but their solving needs precise decisions. Because of a strong snowstorm during the whole day the airplanes land with a delay and some flights are postponed. But the solution is found. A connection to the Heathrow airport is established and the staff is warned that despite the delay an immediate customs check-up of some cargo should be made. The delivery is then passed on to the courier for a direct supply and arrives on time.
