01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

What matters for Plants & horticulture – and how we turn it into a coordinated transport process.

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

Plant type, height, rack and protection determine loading. Temperature requirements and sensitivity to draughts, pressure or long waits are recorded.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

The route is assessed against readiness and desired receipt. Multiple destinations need a suitable sequence and enough time for agreed handling.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Receiving is coordinated with quantities and racks. Empty carrier returns and special accompanying documents are explicitly agreed.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

For regulated supplies or plant transport, classification, accompanying documents and requirements are clarified beforehand.
