Specialist in Fashion - Logistics in style

Logistics for the fashion industry: fast, transparent and flexible

In the dynamic world of fashion, everything revolves around timing, visibility and flexibility. New collections, seasonal peaks, production in Asia and rapidly changing customer needs place high demands on your logistics. With our specialized approach for fashion brands, we offer control over every link in the chain - from production to store floor and return.

Your challenge, our solution

Your challenges - our smart technology and personalized service

Seasonal peaks & short time-to-market

The launch of new collections must be perfectly aligned with marketing campaigns and retail planning. Our predictive planning systems and flexible capacity ensure that your summer and winter collections are in stores on time.

Lack of visibility in global chains

Many fashion brands struggle with opaque supply chains. With rotraNext, our digital control tower platform, you have 24/7 real-time visibility into your shipments - from Asia to Europe.

Stringent EU transparency rules

We help you comply with new European regulations for chain transparency. From digital documentation to full traceability per item, compliance is no longer a concern, but an opportunity to strengthen your brand.

Smart return logistics for a circular fashion supply chain

Returns are inseparable from fashion - especially online. We offer efficient return flows that protect your margin as well as contribute to sustainability.

Speed and security

Strong specialized partner network

Fashion requires flexibility - but also reliability. That's why Rotra works with a carefully constructed network of specialized partners selected on the basis of experience in the fashion industry. From first-mile carriers in Asia to European distribution hubs and last-mile delivery companies, our partners understand the specific requirements of fashion logistics - such as delicate handling, time-critical deliveries and seasonal volumes.

Fixed allocations and smart consolidation

Thanks to fixed allocations on key trade routes, we offer speed and delivery certainty, even during busy periods or market disruptions.

For brands with fluctuating volumes, we also offer a powerful alternative with our Less than Container Load ( LCL) line services. With these, we consolidate smaller shipments into fixed groupage containers on frequent routes between Asia and Europe. So you benefit from reliable transit times and lower costs, without compromising on visibility or speed. Combined with our digital control tower rotraNext, you keep full control of the supply chain even for smaller volumes - ideal for collections delivered in phases or for quick replenishment from stock.
