10 Distribution
When goods are shipped to the customer, they are consolidated at central hubs of best in
class logistic providers and then distributed in highly efficient logistics networks.
The Gigaset Logistics Network (GLogN) is the basis for the efficient and secure movement
of goods. The core of this transport network is a pool of highly-qualified service providers
who offer the best prices and performance thanks to the pooling of Gigaset-wide needs.
The use of transportation resources is being optimised by continuing improvements in the
size of product packaging. The packaging units of our suppliers are optimised ahead of
procurement to ensure the means of transport is fully loaded (e.g. containers in the case of
sea freight).
In overseas logistics chains, we try to ensure that marine transport is used as frequently
as possible. Transportation of goods by rail or inland waterway is preferred over trucks be-
cause it reduces emissions by 50 %. Air freight for transporting goods internationally is the
exception and out of principle shipment by sea has priority.
