Cyprus is an island and as a result the continental short trucking transit times are not achievable and sea carriers’ services are always intervening along with their additional risk elements
98% of the businesses in Cyprus are small and medium size enterprises. This fact is also reflected in the domestic appliances sector at the POS (Point Of Sale) side. As a result, the supply chain has more frequent orders of smaller quantities to many POSs (Points of Sale) thus adding to the logistics costs
Infrastructure at the POSs is poor to non-existing in terms of receiving facilities. This extends the time spend at the POS therefore reflected in the logistics cost
GAP is the leader in handling and distributing white and brown goods as it handles the majority of the market. Specialized procedures ensure efficient and effective warehousing and distribution to the industry’s highest standards.
