Deutsche Post to open transport internet portal
Deutsche Post AG, the German post office, is to launch its own internet portal in October for the purchasing of transport services. Deutsche Post aims to be able to arrange regular contracts with outside companies, ad hoc services between depots and complete cargo transport entirely over the internet.
The portal, to be called www.portivas.de, is intended to cover all of Deutsche Post’s European transport operations. Hauliers will be invited to give details of their entire capacity in order to help arrange suitable return shipments.
