Established multimodal companies not only have expertise in multimodal logistics, they also have preexisting networks established in global shipping communities. This makes organizing combined transport easier especially when the pickup or drop-off location is rural or hard to reach.
Expertise in multimodal logistics helps to streamline the shipping process by eliminating the number of entities involved in each step, which is especially useful for companies whose goods need to cross multiple international borders.
The streamline process of multimodal transportation is not only more time efficient; it’s cost efficient too because it reduces business expenses related to contract negotiation and coordination as well as ongoing communication costs.
Since companies using multimodal transportation work with a single carrier, there is only one tracking number and interface needed for the entire process.
Because shipments do not need to transfer between different carriers, the likelihood of delays decreases; and, if there is a problem anywhere along the delivery route there is already one designated carrier that will handle it helping to ensure on time delivery to the final destination.
