The terms “Overnight Express,” “Innight,” “Go-Night,” “Nachtexpress” and “Nights Logistics” are terms that are appearing more and more frequently in the context of night logistics services. These names symbolize a new era in shipping, in which the night is used to transport parcels and goods with remarkable efficiency. In Switzerland, many companies have recognized that reverse logistics is an optimal solution to meet the increasing demands of their customers.
In today’s highly competitive business environment, where the competition never sleeps, time and efficiency along the logistics value chain have become decisive competitive factors.
Companies from various industries are increasingly recognizing that logistics is one of the key factors influencing their success in a dynamic and competitive market.
Night logistics not only enables companies to shorten delivery times and increase the efficiency of their supply chains, but also to optimize business processes and offer customers an outstanding service experience.
Night logistics creates significant added value, particularly in the area of spare parts delivery or the supply of service technicians.
In combination with warehousing services, complex end-to-end transport and storage solutions with very short throughput times can be created and implemented for customers.
Gray box Night logistics offers a number of clear advantages that both companies and customers alike appreciate.
Here are some of the outstanding aspects:
1. late delivery times: Night logistics allows companies to hand over goods to the transportation service provider late and still ensure early delivery, which is invaluable, especially in business-critical situations. 2. availability of goods: Thanks to lean and optimized processes and short throughput times, it can be ensured that the goods are available by 7 a.m. at the latest before the start of work. This maximizes the efficiency of operating processes and minimizes downtime. 3. impersonal handover: It is not always possible for customers to ensure personal handover for early delivery, which is why impersonal delivery directly to the branch, into a customer-specific drop-off box or even directly into the vehicle is sometimes also offered for seamless processing. 4. plannable delivery windows: the customer’s delivery time preference is taken into account in route planning to ensure delivery at the desired time. 5. relieving congestion on the road network: As traffic on the roads is generally lower at night, companies can shorten delivery times and minimize delays due to congestion and traffic disruptions. 6 Efficient use of resources: Post-logistics enables companies to use their resources more efficiently. Vehicles and employees can be optimally utilized.
