Processes and digital transparency

Every container collection is planned and monitored via digital platforms. Through Dörrenhaus Supply Chain Management (DSCM), customers can track their shipments in real time. This creates the necessary transparency and predictability, especially for time-critical supply chains.

Container collection process

Upon receipt of the pick-up request, suitable vehicles will be notified and assigned. The container will then be collected from the port or depot., within the framework of an optimised export process documented and transported to the destination.

Throughout the entire process, you will keep an eye on the shipment using Track & Trace. Optional additional services such as insurance, interim storage and scheduled delivery are available.

Minimisation of additional costs
