Company overview: 3PL logistics operator managing international transport across Europe

Corcel Group is a 3PL logistics operator providing transport and logistics services across Ukraine and Europe since 2008. With headquarters in Kharkiv and branches in Kyiv, Dnipro, Odesa, and the EU, the company specializes in international transportation and delivers a full range of logistics solutions.

Operating in a dynamic market, Corcel focuses on flexibility, responsiveness, and efficient planning.

The challenge: balancing contract logistics with flexible spot transport

Operating across international markets requires balancing:

  • Stable, predictable transport planning
  • The ability to react quickly to market changes
  • Efficient use of transport capacity
  • Cost optimization during fluctuating demand

Corcel needed a way to complement contract logistics with flexible, on-demand transport.

The solution: using spot freight exchange to react faster to market changes

Corcel uses Trans.eu to support daily operations with spot transport.

“Spot orders are an important tool for our business. They allow us to respond quickly to market changes, efficiently utilize transport and minimize costs. In addition, spot gives us the opportunity to scale transportation volumes during periods of increased demand and to test new directions.”, Valeriia Karabanova, Logistic Manager, Corcel Group.

Corcel Group relies on spot transport to:

  • Cover peak demand
  • React to market changes in real time
  • Increase transport efficiency
  • Expand into new routes.

At the same time, contract transport ensures stability:

“Contract transportation in our case is the foundation of business stability, ensuring accurate planning. We use spot orders as a tool for working with peak loads and increasing efficiency. Overall, this provides monitoring and flexibility of the entire market.”

Why Trans.eu: making transport management and carrier collaboration safer

For Corcel, Trans.eu supports both execution and collaboration. “We value Trans.eu for the fact that it is not just a tool, but a full-fledged system of cooperation. Trans.eu is about convenience and quality of partnership, continuous service development, where a sense of reliability and trust is created.”

The platform helps the team operate faster and communicate more effectively:

Valeriia Karabanova, Logistic manager, Corcel Group: “For our business, speed is important, both in finding cargo and carriers, and in communication with partners, and this is exactly what Trans.eu gives us.”

Results: greater flexibility, faster response times, and optimized transport capacity

By combining contract logistics with spot transport via Trans.eu, Corcel has achieved:

  • Greater flexibility in daily operations
  • Faster response to changing market conditions

  • Scalable transport volumes during peak periods.

Conclusion: combining contract transport and spot freight for scalable logistics operations

By integrating spot transport into their operations and leveraging Trans.eu as a collaboration platform, Corcel Group has built a flexible and efficient logistics model.

This approach allows them to maintain stability through contracts while adapting quickly to market demands — a key advantage in modern transport operations.
