PACK & SEND Nelson ‘tag’ team with CORE Transport Technologies

PACK & SEND Nelson City provides a wide range of local and international business logistics solutions including freight services for Nelson-based Core Transport Technologies NZ (CORE), now part of Descartes Systems Group, to package and distribute shipment scanning and tracking equipment facilitating more than a few hundred consignments over their business relationship since 2017.

The size of each shipment can vary from sending 1 monitoring tag for testing purposes to well over 4000 around the globe. The tags and readers they send contain lithium batteries so PACK & SEND Nelson were well suited to carrying out these more complex and challenging jobs. Whether they’re expediting shipments to Canada, sending a box or delivering a pallet (ULD) or arranging freight pickups from South and North Island manufacturers the scope of the work they do for CORE is interesting and diverse.

“Our relationship with CORE started four years ago when we were first approached by then owners Annette and Ian. They were wanting a service that could offer domestic courier and freight consignments; international export and import; packing services; and able to handle lithium batteries. Some consignments would need to be sent urgently and others on a standard service,” says Jo. PACK & SEND met the requirements perfectly and to this day they have fostered a satisfying business partnership between both companies.

“We really enjoy working with the CORE team and it has been very rewarding to have played a small part in the success of their business. We appreciate the professional approach they have in all their dealings and specifically our interactions with Casimir Mackenzie (Logistics/Office Manager) on an almost daily basis”.
