SYCTA

Prepare an actionable transport brief

The information to gather for a proposal tailored to your flows.

SYCTA / Practical guide

01

Describe the goods

Specify the products, the number of parcels or pallets, their dimensions and weight. Include handling requirements and relevant product information. A shared description prevents proposals from relying on different assumptions.

02

Define locations and dates

Provide exact addresses, the cargo-ready date and the requested delivery date. Separate firm constraints from flexible preferences. Include opening hours, appointments and known access restrictions.

03

Describe the volume profile

Distinguish a one-off shipment from a recurring flow. For regular requirements, describe frequency, typical shipment size and expected variation. Identify peaks rather than relying on an annual average alone.

04

Identify the handovers

Name the collection and delivery contacts. Clarify who prepares the goods, who supplies the documents and how instructions will be approved. For international flows, also identify the contacts handling formalities.

This general guidance should be adapted to your goods, destination and agreed service scope.
