- trans-o-flex now: solution for one-time or occasional dispatch of standard and express shipments
- B2B service including pick-up service: booking online or by phone
Until now, trans-o-flex worked exclusively for customers sending parcels or pallets on a regular basis. On 1st October, the provider of express delivery services, with its headquarters in Weinheim, opened its system for companies that want to send a shipment spontaneously. Depending on a dispatcher’s postcode area, shipments can be registered in the afternoon in order to be picked up on the same day and delivered to recipients all over Germany. “Our market research has shown that the need for spontaneous shipments has increased, especially among small and medium-sized companies,” says Wolfgang P. Albeck, CEO of trans-o-flex. "These companies want a service that is easy and quick to book, that is uncomplicated and reliable and that has a fair price. This is why we developed trans-o-flex now.”
The trans-o-flex now service can be booked online at mytof.de any time after registration. Alternatively, bookings can also be made by phone. The service has been designed for shipments between companies. Therefore, picking up the shipment is always included in the price. "We start with pallets as well as with standard and express parcels up to 32 kilos," says Albeck. "Right from the beginning, it is therefore also possible to book guaranteed delivery on the next working day as well as time-specific deliveries by 8, 9, 10 and 12 a.m.". Gradually, trans-o-flex also wants to offer spontaneous customers additional services from its portfolio, e.g. actively temperature-controlled shipments or shipments consisting of several packages or pallets.
The trans-o-flex Group’s core competence focuses on the provision of logistic solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries as well on the transportation of other high-quality, sensitive goods. For the transportation of pharmaceutical products, trans-o-flex has built a nationwide network that includes active temperature control and full documentation. To this end, the company, in its Pharma Logistics business area, has installed transport systems that are suitable for the transportation of pharmaceutical products in the temperature ranges of between 15 and 25 °C and between 2 and 8 °C in compliance with the EU directives for the transportation of pharmaceutical products. In its Technology Logistics business area, trans-o-flex organises transports for customers from other industries, mainly consumer electronics. These customers also benefit from the high standards with respect to safety, hygiene, reliability and transparency which trans-o-flex has established for the pharmaceutical industry. In its Contract Logistics business area, trans-o-flex bundles services from storage and picking & packing up to individual value-added services. At an international level, trans-o-flex focuses on the implementation of logistic concepts via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 36 European countries). Both nationally and internationally, trans-o-flex, in contrast to 100-% parcel services or forwarding agencies, delivers both goods in parcels and on pallets and also offers special services, such as the transportation of hazardous goods (without being limited to small quantities), express and time-window deliveries, shipment consolidation as well as direct deliveries. Thus, the company covers the entire logistic chain from procurement and warehousing to distribution and fulfilment. In 2017, annual sales of the trans-o-flex Group, which has a workforce of approximately 2,060 employees, amounted to ca. € 459 million. For more information, go to www.trans-o-flex.com.
