A car manufacturer tasked us with delivering critical parts across continents.
Two hours to prevent a production line shutdown
Our time-critical team at ACS Frankfurt were tasked with expediting the delivery of critical automotive parts from Germany to a car manufacturer in Texas. The call came in late at night, with just two hours’ notice to get the shipment on the next flight out and avoid a production line shutdown. With no time to lose, we got to work on a solution.
Our Solution
Route: Frankfurt > El Paso
Service: Trucking, onboard courier, next flight out
Mindful of the urgency of the request, we sent the client a quote within just 15 minutes, recommending an onboard courier to accompany the cargo via road and air.
We sourced a hand-carry agent to collect the consignment first thing the next morning, before it was trucked to the airport and loaded onto a flight to the United States.
Thanks to our time-critical expertise, the parts made it to El Paso in good time and our client was able to keep production moving.
