PASS Logistics and MANSIO Create Seamless Logistics Chain

PASS Logistics Solutions AG and MANSIO GmbH have decided to collaborate. In logistics, efficiency is the focus, yet continuous optimization is often neglected. While modern systems improve individual processes, critical transitions frequently remain unconnected.

(Aschaffenburg/Aachen) This is particularly evident at the interface between the first and last mile and long-distance transport, where idle times and coordination problems arise. Together, PASS Logistics Solutions AG and MANSIO GmbH aim to close this gap and create a seamless logistics chain.

PASS Logistics Solutions brings powerful tools for optimizing the first and last mile into the partnership with its software solutions PLANTOUR and MAPSERVICES. MANSIO organizes trips using its relay system based on the principle of cross-forwarding traffic and ensures a cost-efficient long haul. Even today, both partners enable an API-based integration, allowing for continuous optimization scenarios to be implemented even without direct coupling. However, the potential goes even further: a direct connection allows PASS systems to respond to live information from MANSIO – for example, in the case of delays in long haul, which can be integrated in real-time into the last mile tour planning.

Additionally, a common data structure creates a continuous shipment tracking system: every step along the transport chain – from the central warehouse to the front door – can be transparently documented. This opens up new possibilities for KPI-based control, accurate ETA forecasts, customer communication, and evaluations.

Optimizing General Cargo Transport and Trade Logistics

A combination of the systems in network-based logistics models is particularly effective. In classic general cargo transport, many forwarding companies use central transshipment depots where local and long-distance transport units meet. Often, non-networked dispatch solutions for the various segments are employed. Here, MANSIO and PASS can ensure a continuous and economically sensible transport chain.

Further application cases are offered by trade logistics: many trading companies operate central warehouses and regional distribution centers, with the traffic in between often being time-critical and tying up significant resources. By combining the solutions from MANSIO and PASS, these transfers can be better planned, coordinated, and complemented by efficient fine distribution to the store.

Sustainability as a System Effect

Continuous optimization also contributes to climate protection. What is economically sensible to plan is almost always also lower in emissions. The combination of intelligent long-distance transport control and local fine optimization reduces empty trips, shortens distances, improves utilization, and enables predictable cycles. In light of growing ESG requirements, rising CO₂ costs, and societal expectations, this aspect is becoming increasingly relevant. Not as an end in itself, but as a systemic side effect of efficient logistics.
