systempo Spedition & Logistik GmbH, headquartered in
Vöcklabruck, has 700 employees and moves around 380,000 general cargo shipments
per year. A network with its central hub in Ansfelden near Linz and twelve
depot locations with a total transhipment area of around 20,000 m² is available
for this purpose. The local transport fleet, most of which is operated by
contractually bound sub-freighters, comprises 150 trucks and 60 swap bodies.
The systempo line network was launched on 23 April 1999, with eight partners
initially. Their approach was to bundle regional, medium-sized companies with
strong roots in a supraregional structure; their idea was also to form a
counterpart to large networks and be able to compete with those.
The founding partners were Johann Weiss, Traussnig Spedition, Scheffknecht
Transporte, Wenzel Logistics, Johann Huber Spedition and Marehard Spedition. At
that time the central hub was still in Vöcklabruck with Spedition Marehard, in
2001 the Austrian hub was moved to Ansfelden because of the bigger capacity
there.
Since then, the association of medium-sized forwarders has been developing the
system in terms of quality, products and a broader partner structure. In 2004,
for example, it was connected to the pan-European network SystemPlus.
The core competence of systempo is the distribution of general cargo in 24-hour
regular transit times in Austria, supplemented by time-defined additional
services, ADR, track + trace. Managing Director Volker Binder sees the delivery
to private customers as a challenge due to the increasing demand. He also sees
strong support for the line network in his own IT landscape for tracking and
archiving customer-specific shipment data.
