Following an extensive test phase a newly developed Gateway concept will now enter into practical operations. The partners of the European cargo network System Alliance Europe increase the frequency of daily European departures and therewith optimise the service quality. Transparent procedures and complete consignment information ensure reliability and security. The Gateway concept allows all network members to intensively use the existing system of direct lines. Amongst others, shippers from economically weak areas profit from this fact. In the process the customer has access to all the relevant information he knows from direct transports, as the concept includes the complete, web-based consignment history up to and including the delivery receipt.

Determined structures and procedures guarantee a smooth flow of the system. The Gateway services are defined as network-wide transport line tables which can be used by all the 47 partners of System Alliance Europe. A branch which wants to act as Gateway within the network must fulfil the specific quality criteria.

System Alliance Europe is a cargo network bundling the competences of leading medium-sized logistic service providers. Customers are offered a European platform for groupage transport when turning to their regional partner. Organisational and IT guidelines guarantee high quality standards, transparent processes and a reliable handling of shipments.
