24 Issue One 2015 Partnerships European Food Network's most important competitive edges," Miller says. Joint standards As the leader in system technology, Dachser oversees adherence to the joint standards. One thing to assist the company in its role is the uniform product world vivengo, which was introduced in October 2013. It consists of three product lines: vengospeed, vengo- fix, and vengoflex. Each of them stands for a combination of logistics and IT services. Globally, the basic products are vengoflex for time-insensitive items, vengofix for de- liveries on agreed dates, and vengospeed for daily transports during precisely calculated periods. Customers get a precise delivery time to all destinations in all countries. For example, Dachser enters the postcodes of the pick-up station and the recipient into web application Productpilot. According to company information, vengospeed's market penetration is going to be increased gradu- ally – since 2014, the product has also made it to Poland and Denmark. So far, vengo- speed has been available in ten countries. Easier to track Theforwardersstillprocessordersattheirown locations. But the establishment of the net- work has allowed them to offer their custom- ers greater reach. For example, when goods are to be delivered from Hungary to a central warehouse of supermarket chain Ahold in the Netherlands, they will pass predefined export or import stations – in this case, Dachser's stations in Neufahrn near Munich and Dis- sen near Osnabrück. From there, they will en- ter the target country. The local partner, here Bakker Logistiek, will now deliver the goods, together with national packages, to Ahold. The exporting partner must only advise the station of the delivery on loading day. The Eu- ropean Food Network has considerably im- proved delivery services: The sender decides how quickly the goods must arrive or whether there is a fixed date on which the goods have to be at their destination. Tracking & Tracing keeps everyone up to date on the delivery, as it documents every step up to the acceptance of the goods by the recipient.
