Continental has expanded its digital online dealer portal, ContiOnlineContact. The portal now lists the entire Off-The-Road (OTR) and agricultural tire portfolio. This enables dealers and customers from the agricultural, industrial, earthmoving, port and airport sectors, among others, to order tires flexibly and on demand. With the expansion of the dealer portal to include OTR and agricultural tires, service performance will be continuously improved and tire ordering will be catering to the individual needs of the customers. The new products are available both as ad-hoc orders with delivery directly from the regional warehouses and as direct shipments from the factories.

ContiOnlineContact: All information at a glance

Via ContiOnlineContact, dealers and customers can search the complete range of Continental commercial specialty tires and accessories and access product information and technical documentation comfortably and at any time. After selecting a tire for the individual application, the portal can be used to check availability and to place and track an order. In addition, product updates and marketing material keep dealers up to date with the latest developments at Continental. Further developments of the portal are already in the pipeline.

Ahlers, a leading provider of solutions beyond logistics, today announces a substantial investment of 13.2 million euro into building additional new warehousing facilities on their land in the Saint Petersburg area, Russia. This latest project strengthens Ahlers’ expansion strategy in Russia and CIS, adding to its existing presence in leading warehouses located in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Chelyabinsk and Novosibirsk.

This will allow Ahlers to meet the increasing demand in a booming e-commerce market, supporting its customers with same-day deliveries, offering a successful go-to-market strategy. The new warehouse facility will serve their customers with even more quality storage, meeting the highest industry standards.

The construction project consists of an A-class warehouse of 21.000 m2, corresponding to 33.000 new pallet positions on top of the 60.000 already existing positions. This adds 50% to the total Saint-Petersburg warehousing footprint in ownership of Ahlers – excluding another 5.000 extra pallet positions under the canopies and 15.000 m² outside space. Ahlers also has several external rented locations in Saint Petersburg, used for specific warehousing operations in Shushary and Utkina Zavod.

Investment into narrow aisle racking will maximize space and optimize the new warehouse for enhanced efficiency and a streamlined picking process. Plans to develop operations in Saint Petersburg were initiated by proven expertise working on the Russian market. Ahlers keeps improving infrastructure, continually improving their operations, and pursuing innovations, to better meet the needs of its customers, facing complex supply chain challenges, enabling them to focus on their core business. They can turn to Ahlers for leasing as well as 3PL services.
