Initial Situation

BSH in Slovenia required a logistics partner who could provide quick reaction times and reliable service at competitive rates. The company was looking for a logistics provider with solid experience in the region who could organize the safe and efficient transport of kitchen appliances and parts from multiple suppliers in Asia to different warehouse locations throughout Europe.

Solutions

In Slovenia, BSH has been cooperating with cargo-partner for several years. The company has grown to rely on cargo-partner for quick responses, efficient communication and competent service at advantageous prices. cargo-partner’s services for BSH in Slovenia encompass monthly sea and air freight shipments from various suppliers in Hong Kong and Shanghai to the cargo-partner hub in Vienna. From there, cargo-partner handles distribution to BSH warehouses throughout Europe. To provide maximum flexibility, cargo-partner prepares two possible solutions for each shipment. Depending on the urgency of the transport, BSH can then decide between ECONOMY and PRIORITY service.

The transport of kitchen appliances and parts requires special care and handling. cargo-partner can ensure high process quality thanks to over 20 years of experience in transporting electronics, machinery and a wide range of other commodities in Slovenia. To provide additional protection against any possible risks, cargo-partner also arranges transport insurance for each BSH shipment. The supply chain management platform SPOT provides an easy and efficient means of communication between BSH and cargo-partner. BSH also benefits from SPOT’s real-time tracking function, enabling the company to check the status of their shipments at any time.
