TRANSPORTATION
Olimpico Transportation
The major logistics function includes transportation in which certain decisions about the movement of goods and services are made in the interests of the organization. Our transportation function is important because it affects the delivery performance, pricing of product, and condition of the arrived goods which ultimately determine the satisfaction of our customers. There are five different transportation modes adopted by our organization in the delivery of the products to the dealers, warehouses, and customers.
Our Modes Of Transportation
ROAD TRUCKS
Shipping by truck is fast relative to other modes except by air. Our Trucks can reach several areas including rural, hilly terrains and in contrast to rail transport, trucks can accept products in small quantities. Within cities, trucks are considered as the largest transportation mode. Olimpico’s routing and timing schedules of trucks are highly flexible, and their service is much faster than railways. High value goods to be sent to short distances are effectively transported through trucks.
RAILWAY
Railways are the largest carrier of any nation delivering 32 per cent of total cargo. These can transport large amounts of bulk products to the distant locations such as sand, mineral, coal, agriculture, and forest items in a cost-effective way.
In terms of speed and cost, shipping by rail falls somewhere between truck and water transportation. Businesses that need to ship heavy, bulky goods will find it efficient to work with us as our warehouses are located within the city and next to the railway station.
AIR
Air transportation is the least popular among the business organisations and only
about 1 per cent of the total cargo is transported through air. The cost of air
transportation is quite high due to expensive freight rates, but it is the fastest way
of transporting goods, especially in case of perishable goods and smaller quantity
of high value products.
SHIPPING
Shipping is the oldest mode of transporting goods from one region to another,
but it is more time consuming than other modes. Most of Olimpico’s International trade is mostly conducted by cargo shipping. We transport “loose” cargo such as grain, coal,
iron ore, petroleum, and other mined products; but also, consumer products.
Waterway is inexpensive but slow, and many markets are also not directly accessible by water. Inland water transport is being developed wherever feasible.
