Profile
Small / growing volumes
You ship regularly but not enough to justify a dedicated full truck or container on each departure.
When LCL is the right fit.
LCL is ideal when your volumes are smaller, seasonal, or uneven – but you still need predictable capacity. Instead of waiting to fill a full truck, you book only the pallets or cubic metres you actually move.
Seasonality
Peaks and off-peaks
Demand moves up and down – LCL lets you flex capacity without constantly renegotiating fixed fleets.
Network
Multiple drop points
One main collection, then consolidation into shared linehaul, followed by regional distribution.
Finance
Cost visibility
Clear per-pallet / per-cbm pricing instead of carrying the full cost of an underutilised full truck.
How our LCL program works.
The process is built to be predictable: fixed cut-off times, planned consolidation, and consistent delivery patterns – without needing to monitor every small movement manually.
Booking & capacity planning
We agree on weekly patterns, cut-off times and typical volumes per lane. You share your expected
shipments; we reserve shared capacity on the appropriate routes.
Share the same linehaul, split the fixed costs.
Instead of paying for a half-empty truck, you share space with other programmes that move in the same direction. The fixed cost of the linehaul is spread across several shippers based on actual space usage.
On many lanes, shippers struggle to consistently fill a full truck or container. LCL lets you treat long-distance moves like a shared platform:
- We consolidate compatible shipments headed in the same direction.
- You only pay for the pallets / cbm you use in the shared linehaul.
- We still maintain a predictable schedule with clear cut-off and delivery windows.
The goal: higher utilisation on every trip, a lower unit cost for each shipper, and less time waiting for “enough cargo” to move.
How pricing & programs are structured.
We keep the model simple enough for finance, but detailed enough for operations and planning teams to make real decisions.
Cost
Pay for the space you actually use.
Pricing is based on pallets, cbm or weight brackets (depending on lane), instead of a flat full-truck rate. This keeps costs aligned with your real movement.
Program
Fixed departures, shared capacity.
We define fixed departure days / time windows. Multiple shippers share the same trunk capacity, each with their own allocations and SLAs.
Control
Lane-by-lane visibility.
Each lane can be monitored for utilisation, cost per unit and service performance, allowing both sides to tweak allocations as demand changes.
WIP
Digital dashboard integration.
Integration with our TMS/WMS and customer dashboards is being expanded so that LCL lanes can be tracked with the same clarity as dedicated trucks.
Who typically uses LCL with us.
The model works across industries – but especially suits operations that care about consistency, while still managing tight cost control.
Retail & consumer brands
Brands that ship smaller, frequent loads into DCs or stores – particularly when campaigns and promotions create uneven volumes across the month.
Manufacturers & SMEs
Exporters and manufacturers whose orders are too small for a dedicated truck, but too important to wait until capacity is “full enough” to ship.
B2B distributors
Distributors serving multiple customers in different regions where it makes sense to share the long-distance trunk leg and keep local distribution flexible.
