The trade journal “Verkehrsrundschau“ gave Intelligent logistics company, Dachser top awards in the categories “General load forwarding and groupage freight services” and “Food and consumer goods logistics”, on Friday 19 February 2016.
The scores for each category is given out of 1,000. Dachser received 738 and 747 for respective category.
“We’re happy we were able to defend both Image Awards again,” said Bernhard Simon, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dachser. “The award shows that our commitment to quality, expertise, and service is seen in a positive light. At the same time, it motivates us to stay on track.”
96% of surveyed logistics decision-makers from the world of industry and commerce stated that a service provider’s reputation plays a significant role when it comes to awarding transport and logistics contracts. They also said that a logistics provider’s image is mainly determined by three factors: price-to-performance ratio, service quality, and customer service. Almost as important to buyers of logistics services these days is the issue of compliance—whether or not the hired service provider meets all government and company standards and provisions.
"Verkehrsrundschau“ commissioned the market research firm Kleffmann (based in Lüdinghausen, Germany) to survey 400 logistics decision-makers from German companies in the world of industry and commerce (buyers of logistics services) regarding the image and name recognition of the 79 most important brands in five logistics market sectors. The resulting study, titled “Image Ranking for Transport and Logistics Services in 2016,” also rated the image of small and medium-sized freight forwarders operating regionally within the individual submarkets, as well as the reputation of the fifteen most important European logistics regions.
