Distribution

Timeliness, accuracy, control… with our transport your logistics are accelerated.

We have been enrolled in the “National Association of Hauliers” (Albo Nazionale degli Autotrasportatori) since 1995, and our specialist team is led by a manager with extensive experience in the shipping industry.

We have created a network by choosing the best carriers and correspondents to give you the best service in terms of time and cost. Carriers and correspondents are carefully selected according to their local jurisdiction, specialization, and proven reliability on the road.

Each operator is connected through our computer system and all transport is monitored.

Doing so, we become your only partner and we have everything under control and we’ll keep you fully informed until delivery. A Columbus operator team follows the shipment as if they were present in the vehicle, intervening to resolve unforeseen situations and promptly responding to any of your requests.

Our distribution network is widespread throughout Italy, with fast regional delivery times.

Whatever your needs, we will devise a tailored plan using the most suitable transport system (on wheels, rail, sea, air).

Every shipment is special here at Columbus, but some more than others. That's why we are equipped and ready for any kind of shipment. Thanks to our specialized team and the choice of carrier and the most suitable vehicles, you can send dangerous goods (ADR) in complete safety, as well as goods that require temperature-control, and organize dedicated trucks for large quantities, saving time and money. We use vehicles equipped with satellite tracking for more effective surveillance of goods with higher values. Last but not least, we offer express shipping solutions for collection and delivery within 24/48 hours, throughout Italy.

Transportation services

To make our transportation even more efficient, reliable, and easy. We firstly remove the burden of administrative and customs formalities: our team knows what is required and quickly prepares the necessary documentation. Our online connect communication system allows the shipment to be tracked all the way to its destination, collecting and sharing detailed information and providing notification of the outcome. We provide a useful double check service for picking lists, both when we load and when we deliver, to eliminate errors and discrepancies. And if you need pick-up and delivery between one collection point and another, no problem... we can do that too. In addition, we also manage returns: we organize transportation for pallet retrieval, leftover inventory, unsold products, or those that need repairing. We also operate in reverse logistics to make procedures simple, fast, and safe, trying to get you the return’s maximum possible value.
