About the MACO Group

The MACO Group is one of the world market leaders for window and door hardware, specializing in burglar resistance and surface technologies and has received various awards, including the state seal of quality "Family and Work."

With sales in over 40 countries, the family-owned company employees 2,600+ employees across its 14 office locations and six production facilities. The group manages over 10,000 transports per year with a 96% export rate.

Before Transporeon, we had no Time Slot Management, and we never knew when the trucks would arrive. Now, our freight forwarders can book a time slot, improving the management of our yard so that it is no longer overcrowded.

The Challenge

The need for a “bigger” carrier pool

For MACO, it has always been a challenge to maximize their truck utilization. Through long experience, the double deck trailer has become their preferred truck type — but it can be hard to find in the market. As MACO’s business grew, it became increasingly necessary to find more transport partners.

Solution and Benefits

Transporeon’s modular Transportation Management Platform

In October 2021, MACO joined Transporeon’s Transportation Management Platform and started using some of its top-performing applications including Transport Execution Hub with Transport Assignment, Visibility Hub with Real-time Visibility and the Dock & Yard Hub with Time Slot Management — all with minimal effort, risk, and time to initiation.

Today, through the Transporeon network, MACO has enlarged their number of trusted carriers, including those with double deck trailer capacity.

Thanks to Time Slot Management, the warehouse team knows exactly when to expect trucks and is able to prepare goods in advance.
