High-quality groupage transport

Digital intelligence: IoT and the digital twin in groupage transport

At our transshipment terminals, the digital twin ensures that every package is recorded transparently at all times and that its exact location can be tracked. In long-distance transport, IoT sensors and real-time data provide a continuous overview of vehicles and their shipments. This enables us to monitor your transport operations and manage processes proactively.

FAQ: frequently asked questions about groupage transport

What is groupage freight and which goods does DACHSER transport?

Groupage freight refers to goods that can be transported as individual, clearly defined units. Within the DACHSER groupage network, goods are moved in suitable transport units, such as pallets, cartons, crates or drums. Individual consignments are consolidated into combined shipments and transported through the DACHSER network. Liquids may also qualify if they are packaged appropriately and suitable for transport as groupage freight.

How is groupage freight handled at the transshipment terminal?

At transshipment terminals, groupage shipments are sorted, consolidated and prepared for onward transport. Shipments are grouped according to their destination route and assigned to onward services. The specific handling method depends on factors including the shipment’s size, weight and type of packaging.

How is groupage freight transported?

As groupage transport generally involves many different goods of varying shapes, sizes and weights, it is usually organised as a consolidated service. Goods from different senders and for different recipients are consolidated and transported to their respective destinations. Consolidated road and container services are among the most common and economical transport methods.

Which groupage service options does DACHSER offer?

With the entargo product line, DACHSER offers standardised groupage transport designed to meet a range of customer requirements. Customers can choose between European deliveries with defined transit times (targospeed), deliveries on pre-defined dates (targofix), and flexible deliveries on particularly economical terms (targoflex).
