Automotive logistics at OTSL means moving parts and components within strict time windows: to factory unloading slots, sequencing warehouses and parts distribution centres. It is built for parts producers, stamping plants, plastics processors and OEM suppliers delivering to plants in Poland, the UK and Western Europe that cannot afford a late line-side delivery.
What it covers
- Just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-sequence (JIS) deliveries against booked unloading windows.
- Full loads (FTL) and groupage (LTL) between suppliers and plants.
- Express emergency vans when the line downtime clock is already ticking: pickup within hours.
- Returnable packaging handling: KLT, Gitterbox and pallets, empty and full flow.
- Export and import clearance in our own customs agencies in Poland and the UK.
- ADR transport when a component (batteries, adhesives, chemicals) is dangerous goods.
- Live dispatch and status updates, with availability beyond standard working hours.
How we do it
We start from the receiver delivery window, not from the loading time. We plan the route backwards from the slot, with buffers for the border crossing and road events, so the truck is at the gate before its booking, not after it. On the UK route we prepare customs documents before the truck moves, so the border does not eat the delivery window.
In transit we keep communication and status updates running, and for JIS we hold the unloading order that assembly needs. When another carrier fails or a part is missing line-side, we launch an express van and run it dedicated, with no additional loads. Returnable packaging is tracked in its loop so empties return to the supplier instead of getting stuck in the chain.
Limits of the service (what it does not cover / what to know)
We do not manage your production plan or the plant booking system: we need the window, the gate address and the receiver packaging requirements from you. We do not promise a guaranteed arrival when the slot depends on a border check or inspection: on PL-UK deliveries a slot is lost without complete documents, and a stopped line costs many times more than the transport itself. We do not move ADR goods without correct classification and paperwork: a missing declaration means a hold at the border. The real cost of missing a window is a contractual penalty and a stopped line, so we agree the receiver requirements before the first run, not after the first delay.
