If you manage transport and logistics for companies, you need predictability: pallets that leave on time, arrive complete and with no surprises on the invoice. In Transvolando We work as an operational guide to ensure that your corporate transport is stable, traceable and measurable, both during peak periods and campaigns.

Principales palancas for reducir costs en paleteria de gran volumen:

• Routes  and frequency: Weekly schedule and agreed time slots (departures/deliveries) per lane. You should focus on securing guaranteed capacity and stable prices in order to forecast costs and ensure slots during peak periods.
• Correct vehicle: 13.6 m tautliner for up to 33 Euro pallets; mega (3 m interior) if your height requires it; rigid with platform for destinations with restrictions.
• Height and stacking: Define maximum height per pallet and double-deck compatibility. A poorly planned centimetre triggers extra journeys.
• Operation with 24/7 monitoring:
  • Gestor dedicado, hitos de tracking (carga, salida, llegada a platforms, POD) y comunicacion proactiva.
  • Protocolos de incidencias y plan B documentado (vehicles alternativo/ruta alternativa).

• Packaging and securing: Film, corner protectors and uniform base. Damage costs much more than good packaging.
• Critical KPIs: Lorry confirmation time, zero damage-to-cargo ratio and cost per pallet/m³. Review them monthly.
