The Platform Group establishes own fulfilment company
The Platform Group AG (TPG), an e-commerce group based in Düsseldorf, expanded its service capacities. On Thursday, the company announced the establishment of TPG Fulfillment GmbH, which will handle logistics for 'many of TPG's partners' in the future. Carsten Heider was appointed as managing director of the company based in Gladbeck.
In connection with the new establishment, the company took over a logistics warehouse in Gladbeck, which has an area of 12,000 square metres and a daily shipping capacity of 12,500 parcels.
'The storage of products and goods of the partners connected to the platform takes place via the IT interface of the TPG software, with delivery directly to the logistics centre in Gladbeck,' The Platform Group explained. 'In addition to the storage of goods, all partners can process their returns via the warehouse and thus directly put the goods back live on the 25 platforms of TPG.' There is also the option with the landlord 'to expand the areas modularly in order to utilise an increasing area potential in the future'. New logistics location in Gladbeck replaces 'island solutions'
Dominik Benner, the chief executive officer of The Platform Group AG, explained the move: 'We have been preparing the fulfilment solution for over a year, so that our thousands of partners can now store goods there and have returns processed,' he explained in a statement. 'This is part of our full-service approach. There is another reason: in individual investments, we have our own warehouse, spread across Germany. We are now dissolving these island solutions and consolidating them at one location in Gladbeck.'
Benner also emphasised that the new solution would lead to significant savings and improve the cost ratio in logistics from the fourth quarter of the current year. This article was translated to English using an AI tool.

Rangers told to ‘significantly increase' offer for key transfer target as selling club prepare to lose star man
RANGERS have been given an ultimatum on a key transfer target, as the selling club have reportedly demanded more money. Russell Martin's first signing could prove more difficult than desired as the offer was already well in the millions. 4 Rangers have been tracking Israel striker Dor Turgeman, right. Credit: EPA 4 They watched him score his first international goal in March against Denmark Credit: AFP 4 His club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, are reportedly demanding an increased offer Credit: EPA The Ibrox club have been chasing Dor Turgeman, an Israeli striker from Maccabi Tel Aviv. The 21-year-old was said to be in talks with the Gers with a deal looking to be in the region of £4million. But Israel Hayom are reporting that a 'significantly increased' offer will be required to land the forward who's scored 20 times this season. They say the previous offer has been 'rejected' by the sellers but the goalscorer has 'expressed a willingness' to make the move to Glasgow. The report says Gers representatives watched Turgeman play in the side's Europa League matches as well as the national team's games against Estonia and Norway back in March. He scored his first international goal in the latter. With new manager Martin only arriving this week, it's stated that previous boss Philippe Clement also had a hand in recommending the Tel Aviv man as one to watch. The media over there also reports: "The Yellow Club understands that the possibility that their leading striker this season will leave this summer is serious and has begun to look for alternatives. "Since the Israeli market is poor in quality attacking players, professional manager Dominic Price and CEO Ben Mansford have already begun the search for a foreign striker." So while The Yellows might play hardball over the price for the Rangers target, it's clear they are expecting a deal to be struck one way or another. SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss This isn't the only player on the new gaffer's radar who might be priced out of a switch. A planned raid on his old club Southampton for Flynn Downes has apparently returned a massive £10million asking price from the relegated English side. Meanwhile ex-gaffer Clement has backed Cyriel Dessers, insisting nobody gets the level of flak he does. He said: 'I think Cyriel gets abuse like nobody else in the club or on the pitch at least. 'But he always was there to work hard, to do everything for the club every day, every training, every game. 4 Turgeman would provide competition for divisive top scorer Cyriel Dessers Credit: PA 'Also, in his career, he never scored as many goals as he did at Rangers. 'In the end he performed really well with his qualities. 'Of course fans always want more, but I think Cyriel, if he played in a team that won the league, then he would be for everybody a good player. 'But if you don't win the league then for the fans you are not a good player any more. 'That's life at Rangers.' Ibrox's top scorer this season would face competition to make the starting XI if Turgeman were to arrive. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
