Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services ships 11 luxury German sports cars to Australia

Posted on 18 December, 2020 | by admin

The cargo consisting of 11 Porsche Panamera was moved from Stuttgart, Germany, to Melbourne, Australia, by close coordination with their network partner in Hamburg

Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services, a Coop member in Bremen, Hamburg, and Frankfurt, has recently transported 11 Porsche Panameras from a loading address in Stuttgart to Port Melbourne, Australia.

They arranged the booking with the carrier and agreed on the special requirements for the loading procedure with the shipper.

Kopf + Lübben got in touch with their Coop partner in Hamburg, Con-Truck, to arrange for the pick-up of the vehicles and stuffing in standard containers. Their core business is transport and stuffing of cars which is why they had the expertise and necessary network and could guarantee smooth handling.

In the words of Michael Guttrof, one of the Managing Directors of Kopf + Lübben, “The collection of these premium vehicles in closed trucks was obligatory. Therefore, the transport was carried out with a special truck which is not only closed but can also be extended to load 6 cars instead of only 5. This meant we merely needed 2 trucks instead of 3 and were able to save a huge amount of costs for our customer.”

Once Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services had delivered the cars to the warehouse, they were immediately stuffed into 5×40’ and 1×20’ containers the same day and trucked to the export terminal.

“We are proud to report that the reliable partnership between Kopf + Lübben Cargo Services and Con-Truck stems from the last two Annual Meetings of The Cooperative Logistics Network and various transports we already carried out together,” adds Mr. Guttrof.

The cargo was packed in 86 wooden cases of 550 CBM and moved via 16 x 40 HC and 2×4 00T containers from Japan to Taiwan. The aforementioned cargo was moved via air suspension trucks and low bed trailers and Tisco Airtransport was also in charge of other aspects of the shipment including packing, trucking, and lashing these sets of machines. For the unloading at the destination, a special trackbed was created on which the wagon was unloaded with a semi low-loader and two simultaneously operating truck cranes.

The Cooperative Logistics Network surpasses 300 members!

Posted on 3 December, 2020 | by admin

The Cooperative Logistics Network has set a new coverage record by adding its 300^th agent. One major factor contributing to this growth is the fact that all members have had to pass a rigorous selection process, so only forwarders of the highest standards are part of the network.

“I am very excited about the sharp rise in the number of our members which is even more worthwhile bearing in mind the pandemic and the crumbling economy worldwide. As I see it, our key to success is the quality of the network, which wouldn’t be possible if we did not count with such reliable and qualified members. Since the very first moment, there has been a fantastic personal and professional relationship among them, which has surely contrinuted to their cooperation within the network. That is why I would like to thank all of them for their trust throughout these years, and even more in these difficult moments”, says Antonio Torres, the President and Founder of The Cooperative Logistics Network.

This increase had a role to play in the outstanding success of the Virtual Meeting of 2020 and the record attendance of The Coop’s Annual Meeting in 2019 where more than 180 freight forwarders met at Abu Dhabi. Additionally it undoubtedly demonstrates the efficiency, cooperation among partners, productiveness, and expediency of the network which has been operational for the last 5 years.

The Coop is also the first international freight forwarding network with global coverage to launch instant quoting ability for its members. FreightViewer – a member-exclusive transport management software – enables the members to instantly create professional and accurate door-to-door quotations by establishing an automated data transfer of carrier rates and tariffs. This year, The Cooperative has taken a step forward with the enhancements of this TMS by establishing agreements with some of the most prominent shipping solutions providers in the market.

Mr. Torres further adds, “Our team always strives for more and better services, in order to provide members with the most innovative advantages – firstly, through our efforts to improve our TMS – FreightViewer and secondly, with the wide array of logistics and marketing tools. This year, for example, we have created a new personalized online brochure for members and we have launched our blog.”

The Cooperative Logistics Network is presently represented by 305 independent freight forwarders from 130 countries spanning all five continents.

Channel Freight Services charters an Antonov -124 to move an ODC cargo

Posted on 27 November, 2020 | by admin

The shipment which consisted of chemical manufacturing machinery and pharmaceutical products was moved from Mumbai to Brasilia

logistics business partner — Coop member in Chennai Channel Freight Services ships an 85 ton cargo in a charter flight Mumbai to Brasilia

Channel Freight Services India Pvt Ltd, a Coop member in Chennai, India, has hauled a cargo of around 85 tons in a charter flight of Volga Dnepr Airline from Mumbai to Brasilia. The sheer dimension of the cargo necessitated the use of a flatbed trailer while transporting the cargo from the shipper’s location to Mumbai Airport.

The Channel Freight team had to be extra cautious with moving the cargo as the rainy season added to their challenges. In the words of Prashant Chaturvedi, the General Manager of Channel Freight Services, “We had to cover a very long distance from the shipper’s site to BOM airport that too while it was raining. The shipper placed data loggers in the cargo therefore we had to be even more careful. I would like to congratulate my team for pulling off this challenging project without a hitch.”

Congratulations to Channel Freight Services for a job well done!

“FreightViewer is different than other online marketplaces. We are proud to work with The COOP in this project”

Posted on 26 November, 2020 | by admin

After stablishing the partnership with Shipco, FreightViewer Department interviewed Morten Bach- Global Chief Commercial Officer at Shipco Transport- to analyse the current situation and the upcoming digital changes in logistics.

leading digital transformation — The COOP FreightViewer integrates Shipco LCL rates to enable users to generate instant quotes

Speed in quoting is essential in a market where the difference between one quote or the other has become minimum. This means that, in some cases, who quotes the faster will have the shipment. This is one of the reasons why it’s so important to develop tools such as FreightViewer, states Mr. Morten Bach. He also adds that technology has disrupted in logistics and everything is happening amazingly fast, changing the landscape of logistics.

Mr. Bach also adds that the speed of the market is one of the other big changes in logistics, this is forcing traditional freight forwarders to change their way of thinking. They need to find the strategy to send shipments from A to B as fast as possible, achieve faster information sharing or better order management. And this can be done using different gateways than the traditional.

Under his point of view, it’s important to become global, reaching key partners and the right technology. Being part of a network, which offers a tool such as FreightViewer, means that small-medium companies will be able to become global, being much more competitive and, with the help of technology, being able to handle much more tasks along the process, optimizing their resources. Mr. Morten says: “With the pandemic the digitization process has been accelerated and those companies who didn’t have a great technology strategy have got caught by the new world-wide situation, not being able to serve their clients in the same way or the way they should”

Mr. Morten Bach pointed out the importance of visibility in logistics in order to take control over all shipments. According to his words “it’s essential to provide several options for a shipment to the client, if you don’t give various options to them, they will go somewhere else. Clients need what they need and if you don’t offer it, they will try another option”

To finalize, Mr. Morten states that, currently, there are two different sectors in logistics. Those that refuse to use digital services and those that only use digital resources. This means that we need to develop two different customer strategies, providing service to both groups, but never forgetting that digital trends will be extremely helpful in both strategies.

The Cooperative Logistics Network establishes a media partnership with Group Futurista

Posted on 25 November, 2020 | by admin

Group Futurista organizes together with Roambee the Webinar called “Minimizing risks in Supply Chain by creating autonomous Customer Service using RPA”

This webinar is happening real-time on 25th November 2020 at 12 Hrs GMT. For those who are looking to attend the webinar can register for free here.

In the current COVID crisis, leading organizations are starting to pivot and shift from response to recovery. Real-time visibility has become a game changer for the complex supply chains however, the enterprises continue to lack true end-end supply chain visibility. In order to deal with disruptions and lack of information it has become evident that end-end visibility and digitalization are crucial. According to a study conducted by shipping and freight resources, about 60% of supply chain executives said that operations were significantly hampered due to the damage caused to the global supply chain during the COVID crisis.

Group Futurista have partnered with Roambee to solve this rising issue. Roambee is a global Internet of Things (IoT) data company that puts you in control of your Things on-demand — goods, equipment, or valuable assets — located indoors, outdoors, and in-transit.

Roambee is measurably impacting cost and risk for hundreds of enterprises in Manufacturing, Logistics & Supply Chain, Transportation, Finance, and Aerospace by addressing visibility holistically, from “sensing” to “making sense” to “acting upon” their data.
