Traction Services
With the unpredictable nature of the current economic climate, logistics companies face profound challenges when it comes to reliably predicting and servicing customer demand.
The service allows logistics operations to meet increased and seasonal demand phases without compromising efficiency or performance. Offering logistics companies the ability to increase or decrease their delivery commitments with a single phone call, traction services provide the additional resources that businesses need to efficiently deal with anything from peak demand periods to product launches.
The X2 (UK) advantage
Our traction services offer year-round support with flexible allocation, allowing you to add resources at certain times of the day or days of the week. From a couple of vehicles a day to well over 100 a day, we can scale our services to meet your demands without any parked-up resources or residual costs. With this ‘dimmer switch’ approach, you have full control over your logistics operations, whether it’s fully on, fully off, or anywhere in between.
