Overview
Hybrid shipping combines consolidated ocean transport with the destination parcel network. Goods share the international linehaul before local couriers deliver the individual orders.
Coordinate consolidation, order labels and destination distribution before dispatch so the warehouse and final delivery channel use the same order information.
What the service includes

- Tracking coordination — Share the available shipment and delivery references.
How the workflow runs
- Consolidate: Group the goods and agree the destination distribution plan.
- Ocean transport: Move the consolidated cargo through the chosen route.
- Local delivery: Release the individual parcels through the destination network.
