Consumer Electronics: Barcelona to Bratislava DC
Weekly groupage supporting Central European market entry
Electronics accessories brand, Barcelona
Challenge
Small, high-value electronics shipments require careful handling and consistent transit for DC inventory planning. Ad-hoc carriers treated them as filler freight, causing damage and unpredictable arrival times.
SAVA Solution
SAVA dedicated fixed slots on the eastern corridor for the client's electronics pallets, with non-stackable handling protocols. GPS tracking and SMS alerts ensured the DC could plan receiving shifts.
