Your express delivery will be transported as ecologically as possibly
To every extent possible, swissconnect uses multi-modal transport and exploits the strengths of the various means of transportation (bicycle, train, car, etc.). In the city, the bicycle is the fastest; from city to city, the train; in outlying areas, the car. Delivery vans or lorries are used for large and heavy deliveries. This unique possibility to combine the various modes of transport leads to huge savings in the emissions of the harmful greenhouse gas CO2. swissconnect delivers in a more environmentally-friendly way that any other courier service in Switzerland.

Your consignment is processed via central logistics software
The unique swissconnect logistics software selects the cleverest connection from the sender to the recipient and offers the courier with the appropriate means of transport (bicycle, cargo bike, train, car, delivery van, lorry) within the shortest of times. This means that traffic jams can be avoided and much time and CO2 saved, for example, by transporting by rail. The central logistics software allows consistent data management, transparency and uniform standards.
