Service description

The contract should clearly and in detail describe the logistics services to be provided. Whether it is storage, transportation or the entire supply chain – everything should be precisely defined to avoid misunderstandings.

Performance period

An important point is the time frame within which the work or service must be completed. Both the start and end dates are defined here. Punctuality is particularly important in logistics, so this point should be precisely regulated.

Remuneration

Remuneration is another key component of the contract for work and services. The parties agree on the financial aspects of the service provision, be it through a fixed lump sum, depending on the quantity of services provided or other agreed criteria. Provisions must also be made for possible additional costs, such as for special services.

Quality requirements

Quality is crucial in the logistics sector. The contract should contain requirements for the quality of the services to ensure that everything runs smoothly. This also includes any standards or norms that must be adhered to.

Acceptance of the work

The acceptance process is also important. This means how and when the work performed is checked and accepted. There are often certain criteria that must be met before the job is considered complete.
