COVER STORY 18 DACHSER magazine Eurohubs consolidate freight services to <strong>Europe</strong>. They optimize truck capacity utilization and thus help to increase sustainability
The central Eurohub distribution platforms serve a radius of 400 to 700 kilometres Oliver Wild, manager of the Dachser Eurohub Überherrn Eurohub Überherrn Eurohub Clermont Ferrand fectly synchronized processes are key. The right hand must always know what the left hand is doing. This is one of the reasons why he is especially proud of his staff. “We place high expectations on ourselves and try to live up to these as best we can at all times.” Smooth workflows are the best confirmation that he and his team are doing a good job. Ideally, they run like clockwork. At the Eurohub, punctuality is therefore paramount. A departure that is delayed by only 60 seconds is already considered late. “We work in close synchronization with our supplying branch offices. Out of 98 daily departures in July, only one was late.” “A continuous flow of goods is part of the Eurohub principle,” Wolfgang Janda ex- Eurohub Bratislava In a Eurohub, hh it’s quality that counts. This is critical for the entire network Oliver Wild plains. “This enables us to minimize the transshipment frequency and hence the risk of damage. These are decisive criteria for the organization of our customers’ logistics.” Flowing processes permit continuous scanning of the logistics chain, which can be constantly monitored in real time via Dachser’s eLogistics applications, he adds. And this pays off. “The major benefit for customers,” Janda points out, “is that in addition to the reliability of the system, the optimized network with Eurohubs means they can service a lot of countries without having to maintain a large number of regional warehouses. This gives Dachser’s customers a valuable competitive edge in their coverage of <strong>Europe</strong>.” Around the clock.
