Transport security in logistics

Early detection of deviations

Integrated IT systems and the continuous monitoring of logistics processes enable transport obstacles to be identified at an early stage and appropriate action to be taken promptly.

Shipment tracking and transparency

Comprehensive shipment documentation and tracking create transparency throughout the supply chain and support the proactive management of logistics processes.

Continuous quality control

DACHSER measures the quality of logistics services using defined key performance indicators and regular target-versus-actual comparisons. The findings feed directly into the optimisation of processes, service quality and transport security.

The foundations of transport security at DACHSER

Load securing

Regular training, standardised loading processes and the use of appropriate load-securing equipment help to protect goods reliably throughout the transport process.

Security of goods

Digital documentation processes, access controls and other security measures support transparency and traceability of the flow of goods throughout the supply chain.

Transparent transport processes

Integrated IT systems, electronic interface documentation and continuous shipment monitoring create transparency and enable a rapid response to deviations.

Dangerous goods management

For the safe transport of dangerous goods, DACHSER uses standardised processes, IT-supported control mechanisms and central dangerous goods management to support legally compliant handling.

Quality and security

Defined key performance indicators, target-versus-actual comparisons, regular audits and training support the continuous improvement of transport quality and security.

Measuring transport security

At DACHSER, transport security is continuously monitored using defined quality indicators. The factors analysed include delivery quality, transit times, potential damage and transport-specific requirements. The results create transparency and provide the basis for the continuous improvement of logistics processes.

Frequently asked questions about transport security

What does transport security mean?

Transport security encompasses all organisational, technical and operational measures that protect goods, means of transport and the people involved throughout the transport process. These include professional load securing, standardised loading processes, quality controls, shipment tracking and measures to prevent damage, loss or delivery delays. The aim is to ensure a reliable and secure flow of goods throughout the supply chain.

Why is load securing important?

Professional load securing prevents goods from shifting, tipping over or being damaged during transport. It also helps protect drivers, other road users and the vehicles used. Standardised securing measures can reduce damage, stabilise transport operations and sustainably improve the quality of logistics services.

How does DACHSER support supply chain security?

DACHSER combines standardised processes, qualified employees, integrated IT systems and a closely interconnected transport network. This is complemented by continuous quality controls, security measures at its locations and the proactive monitoring of logistics operations. In this way, DACHSER creates the basis for high delivery quality and a secure flow of goods throughout the supply chain.

What role do IT systems play in transport security?

Modern IT systems create transparency throughout the supply chain. They enable end-to-end shipment documentation, support transport monitoring and help identify deviations at an early stage. This allows measures to be initiated more quickly, while customers benefit from greater predictability and transparency for their transports.

How does DACHSER measure transport quality and security?

The quality of logistics services is continuously monitored using defined key performance indicators. These include delivery quality, transit times, damage rates and compliance with agreed service levels. Regular target-versus-actual comparisons and analyses reveal potential for optimisation and enable the continuous development of processes, security and service quality.
