Express courier services across Europe using a modern broker
Industry Description
Reikemi is an Express Logistics company based in Germany. The company performs logistics services across Europe using two modes of transportation: express and economic.
Customers (either individuals or other businesses) fill in their order using the online quotation system. Given a start and an end place, we can immediately calculate the distance, the availability of the various services, and therefore an initial cost.
As we learn more about the transport (multiple stops, size of load, additional services) we update the time and cost estimation. The quotation procedure ends with a pre-authorized card or an invoice (for recurring customers), and we turn our attention towards order tracking.
As the founder of Reikemi, an express logistics company in Germany, I was in need of a reliable and efficient web platform that could handle our growing customer base. That's when we found Take Off Labs. They built a web platform for us that has completely transformed our business..”
