There was no time to waste when we were tasked with getting automotive parts from Germany to the United States to keep a production line moving.
Expediting automotive parts across the Atlantic
We were asked to transport one tonne of automotive parts from Germany to the United States following a disruption in the supply line. The urgent request came in at 11pm and the client needed the shipment delivered within 24 hours, so a swift solution was needed to accommodate this tight schedule and keep production moving.
Our Solution
Route: Frankfurt > Houston
Aircraft: Next flight out
Our time critical team in Frankfurt arranged for the five palettes to be collected and driven to the airport at 1am, just two hours after the request came in.
We secured space on the next available flight, quickly finalising the contract and liaising with the operator to ensure the cargo arrived on time in the United States.
The Finer Details
Rapid Response: Despite it being the middle of the night, we finalised a solution within 20 minutes of receiving this last-minute request.
