Reduced warehousing costs and integrated services
For your company, this means an agile, economic way of removing all the problems concerning the logistics of goods, thus optimizing space and time that you can dedicate to your core business.
A solution for the warehouse logistics problems
We see logistical outsourcing as the management of transportation from the producer to the final customer, through warehousing, integrated activities, and accessory services. Our company goal is to offer a high-quality integrated distribution service.
Our computer system allows us to know in real time all the data concerning the arrival, stopover, departure and delivery of goods. This allows us to answer immediately any enquiry concerning the status of a shipment. At the same time, the logistical service intervenes in all stages of the shipment and can ensure the most reliable and complete management, satisfying the customer’s requirements and any personalization he requested.
The whole operational activity is supplemented by the administrative procedures and the issuing of the documents.
A customized solution for your specific needs
Thanks to the expertise we acquired over the years, we are able to offer a broad range of accessory services, such as:
- loading / unloading of railroad wagons, intermodal loading units, and road vehicles;
- distribution services;
- warehousing;
- kitting;
- preparation of orders;
- labeling of individual packages with the bar code system;
- transit point service;
- customized workings and packagings;
- customized palletizations;
- issuing of shipping documents.
The acknowledgement that state-of-the-art logistics demands greater competencies and above all the ability to carry out the strategic management of a complex web of relationships with several parties brought Inter-rail, together with three partners –Interporto di Cervignano SpA, Marlines Srl and Midolini F.lli SpA– to the establishment of the NEST enterprise network agreement. The strategic choice was to join forces in order to form a team and to focus diverse experiences and competencies, so that an all-round solution can be found for all requirements for logistical services.
NEST can rely upon a direct presence in the three seaports of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Trieste, Monfalcone and Porto Nogaro), as well as in the Cervignano Intermodal Terminal, with outdoor work areas for a total surface of 232,000 sqm; warehouses for 40,000 sqm; 65 direct employees; an aggregate turnover of over 54 million Euros, amounting to over 4 million tons of shipped goods in 2012.
Integration, systemic vision, synergies, optimization of resources and quality of the services are the keywords steering Inter-rail’s mission towards the achievement of three fundamental goals: improving and developing the services offered; creating a logistics network functional for railway transportation, in partnership with national and international logistical operators; creating the conditions to be the local part of a synergy with European-scale railway companies. In practice, the offer is for integrated logistics activities, featuring transportation and handling services, and the management of orders from the production plants all the way to the consumer markets of the large-scale distribution networks. The railway logistics operator intends to study customized projects for managing the flow of industrial products and solutions with a view to door-to-door deliveries. The main fields of activity are the steel and iron industry, the forestry products, and the logistical distribution of fast-moving consumer goods. The current Inter-rail’s turnover share concerning activities that are not transportation by rail (warehousing, transportation by road, distribution, logistics) amounts to some 5% of the total turnover, with a strong potential for growth in the future. Railway transportation is our core business, but we are also able to supply a broad range of accessory services, such as:
- storage and distribution of raw materials and finished products for major industries;
- loading – unloading – transshipment – storage and warehousing in sea ports;
- transportation and shipments via rail, road, sea;
- intermodal and multimodal services;
- management of shunting in railway marshalling yards and junctions;
- rental of wagons and loading equipment;
- management of warehouses and storage areas in sea ports (Trieste, Monfalcone and Porto Nogaro) and at the intermodal terminal of Cervignano del Friuli;
- logistical services and customization of products;
- warehousing and distribution services;
- logistics consulting and assistance;
- customs procedures and management of administrative procedures.
The high-quality standards of the services and the availability of highly qualified personnel are the best guarantee when you entrust us with the management and organization of shipments, from the point of origin to the final destination.
