The delivery is made under the same contract, and consequently the time for drawing up and executing various documents is significantly reduced.

• Less time is required to resolve technical problems.
• The itinerary is tailored to the customer’s wishes.
• The cost of services is much less.
• It is possible to deliver by truck directly to the customer’s home, while the delivery by plane and train depends on track and route availability.

• Since different modes of transport are used, unloading and loading cannot be avoided, and this always carries the risk of loss and damage of goods.
• In addition, the change of transport makes it difficult to control the goods.
