trans-o-flex facilitates the use of its Express and other Premium Services
New standard labels indicate premium-service shipments – Innovative idea spares the environment several millions of labels every yearWeinheim, 1st March 2010 – trans-o-flex Schnell-Lieferdienst and trans-o-flex ThermoMed, the specialist for the transportation of temperature-controlled goods, introduce a new address label that not only facilitates the shipment procedure for the customers but also spares the environment millions of labels every year. “The combination of standard shipments and flexible individual solutions is one of our strengths”, says Wolfgang Weber, Director Operations of trans-o-flex. “This is why we decided to facilitate the use of these services”.
Background: in order to make it possible for the trans-o-flex employees to immediately spot premium-service shipments and handle them correspondingly, the parcels used to carry additional labels indicating the specific service. These labels, however, had to be applied by the customers themselves. “This made it quite difficult to ensure an automated handling of premium-service shipments, especially for large customers”, continues Weber. “Employees working in a large dispatch department often have the problem of not being able to know which parcels belong to a premium-service shipment, thus requiring a special label”. From now on, customers can benefit from a series of pictograms that have been developed to indicate the specific premium service selected and that have been integrated in the newly designed address labels. Thus, it is no longer necessary to apply an additional label. Using the new labels does not have any impact on the reliability of the handling processes because the premium-service shipments are saved in the trans-o-flex data stream and, thus, remain visible on the screen of the deliverer’s computer.
