Tailored to your demands

Portugal’s major door-to-door transportation company

TRANSPORTA is Portugal’s largest door-to-door distribution company, operating in key sectors of the national economy. For instance in the automotive sector, where we are unquestionably leaders, serving 700 concessionaires and over 20 Brands daily.

Efficient management of TRANSPORTA’s portfolio and nationwide terminal network guarantees rapid, regular and reliable distribution of our customers’ merchandise.

Daily deliveries countrywide within 24 hours....

TRANSPORTA is able to ensure shipment of any cargo to or from any point in the country, and Spain too, within just 24 hours. In other words, if we collect a shipment from your facilities at the end of the day, you can be sure it’ll be at its destination anywhere in the country by the next day.

... or even less

TRANSPORTA operates an Overnight Service, so that your merchandise can be delivered next morning before 8.30 am. This option is earmarked exclusively for customers whose destination networks are properly equipped to take delivery of shipments in the conditions demanded by this particular service.

 
 

Distribution with a warranty

TRANSPORTA backs up its promise to deliver on agreed deadlines with a minimum 92% efficiency-rate contractual guarantee. That means every customer is eligible for a discount corresponding to 50% of their average monthly shipment bills, multiplied by the number of shipments involving a delay beyond 8%, if TRANSPORTA is actually to blame. (Valid as of the 2nd month of operation for customers in Lisbon with a minimum of 50 G.t./month.) For deliveries to large-scale operations, such as hypermarkets, etc., that guarantee, following a detailed study of the customer’s characteristics, can be raised to a 100% efficiency-rate.

In a nutshell, with TRANSPORTA, your company is guaranteed to get there faster, further and to more places, while enhancing your resources and generating savings you can pass onto your customers, and consequently contributing to your company’s competitiveness.

That’s true of our new "Real-Time" system. Using text messages (SMS), our truck drivers can communicate right away with TRANSPORTA’s central computer system.

To get precise real time data as to where your freight is, all you have to do is go to the Internet and check it out.

Complete control

For customers shifting high volumes of deliveries, we offer direct access, via the Internet, to TRANSPORTA’s central computer system. That means customers can obtain even more precise data on their shipment — where it’s located, whether it’s been delivered yet or not, or any eventual incidents, etc.

Whenever you prefer to get in touch personally with TRANSPORTA, you can contact our customer service department by phone, and get details on your shipment.

This service will also let your company know immediately if anything has happened to your shipment — before your customer hears about it.

 

   
Getting it there safely
Just as speed is a priority with us, so is the security of your goods. From the moment we pick it up until we deliver it, your shipment is always covered by our insurance.

To cut the chances of your shipment being mislaid to a minimum, we maintain constant control over it at ever stage of its distribution process. That includes monitoring vehicles collecting and delivering, as well as the terminals where shipments are processed.
   
We’d like to become your distribution network

In opting to outsource your distribution operations to a company like TRANSPORTA you stand to gain innumerous benefits for you and your own company.

Employing a specialized distribution company, not only will you cut down on the fixed costs inherent in distribution as such, but you’ll also lower your corresponding administrative costs too. That way you can devote more time and resources to your company’s core business.

Aside from that, you’ll find you also gain a series of other major advantages:
  • A distribution service that will lower your credit risk
Through our Cash-On-Delivery service, we reduce your credit risk, undertaking to remit your customer’s payment within 48 to 72 hours.
  • Cost-effective distribution
Since we deliver such high volumes of freight, we can bundle together shipments going to the same destination from different customers. That means we can afford to offer competitive prices without affecting quality - which is our watchword - in any way.
