Strategic Partnership In Logistical Consulting

Hamburg's GloMaP.com AG and LOGO-TEAM Management Consultants for Logistics and Organisation, Bad Salzuflen/Karlsruhe, have agreed on a strategic partnership. The main objective of this co-operation is to enhance the use of new technologies in logistics and to increase individual competence in Internet-based logistics by taking advantage of inherent synergies.

GloMaP.com AG is strengthening its logistics consulting business: Besides offering various Internet-based tender tools for the shipping industry, GloMaP.com is now looking even more intensively into consulting of complex logistical projects, mainly in the field of supply-chain management. LOGO-TEAM itself, with a focus on outsourcing and logistical management, is broaden-ing its scope of action by embarking on the use of new technologies and established B2B - solutions and banking on the potential of e-commerce in logistics.

A co-operation in general means bringing advantages to the parties involved. Particularly in the very complex field of logistics, partnerships do help to meet all consulting requirements customers have. The same also applies to the co-operation of LOGO-TEAM and GloMaP.com. To fulfil these requirements, LOGO-TEAM is strengthening its Hamburg presence, reacting to the increase in project work in the north German area, mainly Hamburg. Furthermore, LOGO-TEAM has set a strategic mark by focusing its logistical solutions on the use of new media and technology. "This is a careful process," says Christian Jauernig, partner in LOGO-TEAM. "Many customers are entitled to expect sound, classical consulting work and not a form of consulting screaming for the Internet. They look for consultants who emphasise the chances and possibilities of the Internet and discuss useful ways of using and implementing them. It is here that we are convinced of having found a market player and partner in GloMaP.com, who has proved that through reliability and a professional and serious attitude, innovative Internet-based solutions for the needs of the transport industry can be estab-lished on the market."

GloMaP.com wants to expand its logistical consulting business further, open up new markets and industries and promote knowledge concerning the chances of using Internet-based electronic solutions in the entire supply-chain management. "With LOGO-TEAM, we have found a logistical consulting company renowned in Germany and Europe, which has understood the advantages and the efficiency of electronic tools and their realisation in the operative logistical processes," says Markus Giesenkirchen, Member of the Board of Direc-tors of GloMaP.com AG.

This partnership faces the needs of customers and their current dynamics and will enable LOGO-TEAM and GloMaP.com to continue strengthening its solid position as logistical consultants.
