FIEGE adds transport consulting to its portfolio of services
The FIEGE Group is expanding its services offering. The Greven-based logistics specialist will add data-driven consulting services to its portfolio that focus on transportation and last mile networks.
Sharing experience: the logistics company FIEGE has formed a new line of service for transportation consultancy. Through its specialised consulting team, the over 150-year-old family business will be sharing its expertise in transportation and last mile networks with third parties in the future. The integrated consulting concept covers all processes: from the analysis of the current situation to the conceptualisation and simulation of future scenarios, to technical implementation.
Ralf Gretenkord, in charge of transport consulting and last mile optimisation at FIEGE, explains: “Today’s modern logistics is a highly complex landscape. An ever-growing number of players are involved in global supply chains. Many markets are volatile, and the pressure is increasing due to costs. At the same time, customers’ demands on service are growing also in relation to sustainability. This is precisely where our data-driven consultancy sets in. We devise bespoke solutions that optimise our clients’ transportation systems.” This new offer is geared equally towards the press and publishing sector as well as businesses based in retailing and the industry. “Wherever goods require efficient transportation and last-mile shipments need to be sent out as fast as possible, we can help with our experience”, says Gretenkord.
The team is composed of eight transportation specialists who harness the power of data above all. The service offer encompasses Center of Gravity analyses, geo-tracking and time-tracking as well as route scheduling and transportation management – from logistical sources, temporary storage and depots, to the last mile. “Our 360-degree approach assists companies also with their Change Management, the training of staff members and ultimately up until these optimised transport networks have been enshrined lastingly in the organisation”, Gretenkord says.
