How Jonkers Bouwmetaal takes advantage of digital transport solutions
Flexibility concerning the orders
Jonkers Bouwmetaal likes to work with fixed carriers. However, they also want to have the option to request last-minute shipments.
Thanks to the large network of carriers from Quicargo, this is very well possible. For example, Jonkers has a regular carrier, but other carriers occasionally drive for the company as well.
In addition, with construction transport, it is very convenient if you can easily use certain options for shipments, such as:
- Time restrictions for pick-up and delivery
- Tailgate
- Mounted forklift transport
- Side loading
- Trailer or truck
All these options are easy to book when placing an order. This is a big advantage when working with a one-stop-shop like Quicargo.
“Distribution and groupage transport is easy to arrange via Quicargo. Furthermore, it is nice to have a permanent contact person. This makes communication very smooth and pleasant.
