What no one has told you about the way of your online purchase to your home

E-commerce has never been stronger, but there is a detail that few consumers realize when finalizing an online purchase: the path that products travel until they reach their hands. Not always the carrier that appears in the tracking is the same that makes the final delivery. In Brazil, where logistics faces challenges of continental distances and complex infrastructure, the cargo redispatching it has become a key to keeping deliveries agile and affordable.

The practice of redispatch it occurs when a carrier passes the cargo to another company specialized in a certain stretch of delivery. This system allows products from large centers to reach smaller cities more efficiently and economically.And when we talk about e-commerce, we can everything that can not be sent by the Post Office & such as furniture, appliances, bicycles and even sofas ^^^Depend on this process to be delivered.

“Many people do not know, but if you bought a wardrobe from a Sao Paulo company and live in the interior of Mato Grosso, for example, it is very likely that your merchandise has passed through two or three carriers until you reach your home” explains Celio Martins, new project manager at Transvias, the largest transport guide in Brazil.

Fractional loads: the secret behind logistics efficiency

In addition to the redispatch, one of the great allies of e-commerce is the transport of fractional loads. This model allows several companies to share the same space in a truck, optimizing routes and costs. For retailers, it means that selling a single sofa to a customer in Manaus can be feasible, without having to brake the operation for logistical reasons.

“Fractional cargo is a game changer for small and medium-sized companies that sell online. If before it was unfeasible to send only one product to another state, today this is possible because carriers can consolidate shipments and optimize the paths”, and adds Martins.

Transvias: the compass of road transport in Brazil

If for consumers the redispatching and fractional load are invisible, for companies in the sector this gear needs to work accurately. That is where the role of Transvacations, reference platform in the connection between carriers and shippers throughout Brazil.

By means of printed and digital guide of Transvias, companies can find reliable logistics partners, reducing costs and ensuring faster deliveries. With more than 8,000 carriers registered, the service facilitates from the freight quotation to the choice of the best distribution strategy.

“Companies need to think strategically to reduce costs and improve delivery times. Connecting shippers with specialized carriers on the right path can make all the difference. Redispatching and fractional loading are key solutions to keep e-commerce spinning in Brazil”, and finalizes Martins.

With the growth of online shopping and the increasing demand for fast deliveries, understanding the path from products to end consumers is no longer just an operational detail OD and has become a competitive advantage for companies that know how to use logistics to their advantage.
