Objetivos del curso

Groupage & Consolidation Centres

Consumption models are evolving towards personalized service systems and, as a

consequence, so are manufacturing and distribution models. We are exporting more

and more products manufactured by companies of very diverse sizes with very short

delivery times and directly to the hands of the consumer. It is the evolution from a big

consignment model to a new one featuring a constant flow of medium or small

consignments. In parallel, the means of transport tend to gigantism. Ships, trains,

trucks and planes are getting bigger and bigger in search of greater efficiency and

smaller environmental impact. The units of cargo though still stay the same.

We need to reach many places, in very short times and with top-quality service. Also

we need to reduce costs and environmental impact with smaller consignments.

The answer today is GROUPAGE: a very professional sector in full expansion, with

certified management systems and offering highly competitive services.

Getting to know how groupage works thoroughly is essential for the sector. This is

why the Escola offers professionals and students the opportunity to achieve very

valuable knowledge and ability which will prove useful short-term and vital long-term.

Added value Achieving a solid training will allow you to contract or

manage door-to-door groupage operations in a safer and

more effective way. Subsequently, this will help improve

service and reduce costs and environmental impact.

Like all Escola’s courses, the training is eminently practical

and consists mostly of workshops at the premises of service

providers.
