Consolidate your orders to cut transport costs

Several small orders often cost more than a grouped shipment. Well-orchestrated consolidation lightens the transport bill.

Why consolidate

Transport is largely paid by volume and by shipment. Multiplying small shipments multiplies fixed fees (pickups, files, final deliveries) and pushes up the transport ratio. Grouping several orders to the same destination shares those fees.

What needs to align

Consolidating means synchronising several elements: the real availability of goods at each supplier, the common destination, compatible Incoterms and a shared pickup window. Without visibility on these points, grouping fails or delays everyone.

How Cargio helps

By centralising orders and suppliers in shared dossiers, Cargio gives the visibility needed to spot groupable orders. The supplier portal helps synchronise availability, and a shared Packing List and Shipping Plan structure the grouped shipment.

Cost analysis then lets you check the gain: the transport ratio of a grouped shipment compares directly to that of several separate shipments.
