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.

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

and consists mostly of workshops at the premises of service

providers.
