Every company strives to expand its product distribution channels and increase productivity. Global interconnectedness necessitates an increased exchange of goods, taking into account optimal logistics structures and maximum cost efficiency. More and more, industries—whether food producers, international consumer goods manufacturers, or the textile industry—are conducting promotions with retailers and discounters to sell their products. Promotional merchandise logistics is the key here, and OCS has the specialist on board for this.

Every week we check what promotions Lidl, Aldi, and other retailers are running. At Christmas time it's Christmas wreaths, at Easter chocolate bunnies, or at the start of spring, bicycle helmets – the possibilities are endless. But how do the goods get to the stores in time for the start of the promotion? As consumers, we rarely give that a second thought.

For over 25 years, OCS Spedition GmbH has been successfully handling promotional merchandise logistics in Germany and Europe. Our flexibility, experience, and reliability make us the first choice for many clients. Distributing promotional merchandise is a highly sensitive area of ​​logistics, requiring meticulous warehousing and on-time delivery, for example, for large discount stores and grocery retailers. Sophisticated logistics are essential. Well-known clients entrust us with their promotions, knowing that we will execute them punctually and reliably. They value our precision and strong problem-solving skills – even when things get challenging.

Bernhard Braun is our specialist for promotional merchandise logistics. Together with his team, he plans precise loading and transport times from the picking location to the individual goods delivery points, whether they are central warehouses, distribution centers, cash & carry markets or branches.

We coordinate delivery dates and adjust them to the route planning. As a full-service provider, we naturally also handle the registration of goods at the loading dock via internet-based platforms such as Mercareon. Optimal communication between manufacturers, retailers, freight forwarders, drivers, and recipients is guaranteed at all times.

The range of operations we carry out extends from 10 to 5,000 pallets. We offer completely customized solutions, where you have only one contact person at our company.
