Ceramic Tiles: Castellón to Milan via Scheduled Groupage
Weekly consolidation replaces spot-market full loads and fixes the per-pallet cost
Ceramic tile manufacturer, Castellón
Challenge
Heavy ceramic tiles (1,200 kg/pallet) pushed shipments into overweight territory with standard groupage carriers. Spot-market FTL rates fluctuated 40% seasonally, making budget forecasting impossible.
SAVA Solution
SAVA structured weight-optimised groupage loads on the Spain→Italy corridor, mixing heavy ceramics with lighter freight. Fixed weekly rates insulated the client from seasonal price swings.
