 Introduction

Few modes of transportation are as effective as rail when moving products long distances. However, who ought to test a rail freight solution? How environmentally friendly is rail travel? And when clients are making transit plans, what should they keep in mind? To get the answers, we spoke with experts, our managing director for life care logistic private limited Indore.

What is Good Logistics?

Good logistics are always client-driven. The frequency of shipments and the client's priorities for cost and speed are frequently the key considerations in any agreement. Still, communication and dependability are essential components of any logistics Supply Chain Management. Sustainability is another important consideration that is strongly related to freight costs and global resource availability. Effective logistics aims to balance all of these considerations so that they all benefit the client at the same time.

How Environmental Friendly is Rail Travel?

Rail freight is a great alternative for transport because it reduces carbon emissions by 90% when used instead of air, which is a good thing for the environment. In the fast-moving consumer goods market, where there are high demands and short delivery dates, rail offers a safe, dependable form of transportation with short lead times. Rail freight transportation is much less likely to experience delays or traffic than either road or sea freight. Every train has GPS tracking, so losses or thefts are prevented while the freight is in transit.

Current and Foreseeable Importance of Freight forwarding?

I believe that the correct amount of face-to-face interaction and technological advancement will always need to coexist. Without face-to-face or screen-to-screen communication, we cannot share knowledge. Our civilization is vulnerable, and if this pandemic has taught us anything, it is that freight forwarding is a people industry that is based on connections. I believe that in the future, organizations will need to be held accountable for their activities, and this will include supply chains, where Green carrier's expertise in the forwarding position will be crucial.

What Advice do you Offer for Customers who are Arranging their Transportation?

Yes, request a copy of the emission report for the most recent transport from your existing forwarder and use it as a starting point along with their other KPIs, such as price, dependability, transit time, and communication. There is no Planet B, therefore that is an excellent place to start if you want to begin improving the planet in which you live.
