time:matters, the special service provider for courier, sameday and emergency logistics as well astime-critical spare parts logistics, and Jetpak, the Nordic market leader for time-critical express
logistics solutions, have developed a joint flight network specifically for the transport oftime-critical spare parts.This represents a clear advantage over the previously independent networks, as customersbenefit from an expanded network that includes additional destinations, a significantly extendedarea for pick-ups and deliveries as well as shortened delivery times, the two companies said. Thenew service is a consequent development of the close business partnership, which time:matters andJetpak have developed in the area of sameday shipments over the years.
The two partners’ new dense and high-frequency in-night network connects Central Europeancommercial centers with Northern European destinations such as Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen andHelsinki as well as remote areas like Hammerfest in northern Norway or Oulu in northwest Finland.
With points of departure such as Maastricht, Erfurt and Baden (Karlsruhe), there are nowexcellent opportunities to provide fast service from the Benelux region and all of Germany forcustomers with delivery needs throughout the Nordic countries. Furthermore, due to time:matters’service to and from Italy, it is also possible to provide in-night transport and delivery servicesfrom northern Italy to the Nordic region.
Both partners’ clients benefit from the joint network and the resulting same night and earlymorning delivery service to their respective customers and service engineers. Time-critical spareparts can thus be transported during the night from a spare parts warehouse (European DistributionCenters) to their destination within as little as 12 to 14 hours. The service also enables thelatest possible pick-up (up to 7pm) and the earliest possible drop-off times (from 7am) – e.g. byusing designated pick-up and drop-off points (PuDos).
“The partnership optimally complements each partner’s network and enhances each other’ssolution portfolio. Our customers can subsequently enhance the service to their field engineers andguarantee the highest levels of uptime for their equipment. Together, we are bringing the Nordicregion closer to the rest of Europe, even connecting it to countries such as Italy,” saidFranz-Joseph Miller, CEO of time:matters GmbH.
“Business relations between the Nordic region and other European countries are continuouslyintensifying, which means there is a rising demand for fast, customized and cost effectivelogistics solutions. Thanks to the new partnership, our customers can further optimize their supplychains in terms of costs and efficiency,” added Erik Lautmann, CEO of Jetpak.
