With a new system, the international logistics service provider Militzer & Münch offers customers tracking and tracing from point of departure to consignee in Iran, extending its Iran service range. The international logistics provider’s Iran activities began over fifty years ago with truck transports to Iran – today, the Militzer & Münch product portfolio comprises services covering the entire supply chain.
Shipments are tracked using a tool that transmits its location via the GSM cellular network. As the tool is not permanently installed, it can be used by different carriers. At this time, Militzer & Münch can monitor up to 250 trucks. Via an online tracking platform, customers can call up the status of their shipment at any time.
“With the new end-to-end tracking and tracing system our logistics services have become even more transparent, and safer”, says Dr. Lothar Thoma, CEO M&M Militzer & Münch International Holding AG. “It is part of our quality claim, as we accompany our customers every step of the entire supply chain – from the transport and customs clearance to warehousing and last mile distribution in Iran. This also includes the transport and storage of temperature-sensitive goods.”
Militzer & Münch is one of the few logistics companies that have at their disposal comprehensive infrastructure in Iran. Through the PTB Group, a sister company, a staff or over 600 at 15 locations in Iran cooperates with Militzer & Münch. The PTB Group commands about 130,000 m² of warehousing space, 30,000 of which are covered. Customers store for example spare parts to be able to serve the Iranian market in a timely manner.
In Bandar Abbas, a port city in Southern Iran, the PTB Group uses areas in a designated free trade zone and operates a container terminal. Customers can store their goods free from duties, until they are sold or on-forwarded within the country. This offer is especially interesting for the manufacturers of farm machinery or entire plants, as such voluminous goods can in future also be delivered to Bandar Abbas by RoRo vessel.
