Supply Chain Improvement by Pre-Load Concepts & Drop & Swap

Ocean Cloud specialises in the pre-loading concept using the ‘drop & swap’ method.

No More Delays in Your Loading Process

Your product is always loaded on time and placed in storage at one of our sites. This means that product supply is 100% guaranteed, on demand via the 24/7 control tower 365 days a year.

Within a pre-agreed time frame, the delivery process is initiated and your product is delivered in time for production.

Drop & Swap

A drop and swap in supply chain and logistics means a truck driver leaves a full trailer or container at a stop ("drop") and immediately picks up an empty or pre-loaded trailer at the same location.

Key Benefits

Saves Time

Drivers do not wait while a trailer is loaded or unloaded.

Boosts Efficiency

Speeds up turnarounds for tight delivery schedules.

Optimises Resources

Maximises equipment and driver productivity.

Common Uses

Frequently used in high-volume industries like retail, e-commerce, and automotive transport.

This is useful where large volumes and tight deadlines require an efficient and flexible logistics solution. This method offers benefits in terms of increased efficiency.

The result is flexibility, productivity and optimisation of your entire logistics flows, generating significant cost savings and better safeguarding your production process.
