Full range, tight space, high pace: our logistics in summer

When the full range is available in summer and promotional volumes are on top of that, our outbound goods area is especially challenged.

When the full range is available in summer and promotional volumes are on top of that, our outbound goods area is especially challenged. That takes precise planning, quick processes and well-coordinated teamwork across all areas.

This is where Hugo, our head of outbound goods, and his team make sure every day that the right products are ready at the right time. Every delivery has to be put together, checked and loaded on schedule. At the same time, they need to keep an overview, even when many items, containers and customer requirements come together at once.

Keeping the cold chain unbroken is especially important. Different vegetables have different temperature requirements, because not every variety needs the same conditions. The right containers also have to be available in time, without storing unnecessary surplus. In peak season in particular, space is always tight.

With experience, good organisation and plenty of flexibility, Hugo and his team make sure our vegetables reliably get on the road even in the busiest summer weeks. In the right quantity, in the right quality and at the right time to the customer.
