Case Study: bonvelo achieves streamlined imports and reliable product planning with FreightHub

bonvelo - Customer Case Study

bonvelo, an online single‑speed bike brand founded in 2015 that designs in Hamburg and manufactures frames in Asia, faced lengthy, error‑prone coordination with freight forwarders, unclear optimization potential in its value chain, and volatile container pricing that heavily affected per‑bike costs (bonvelo can ship a maximum of 350 bikes per container). To address this, bonvelo engaged Freight Hub, using Freight Hub’s import platform and integration into bonvelo’s SCM system to manage shipments from Asia.

Freight Hub implemented end‑to‑end imports via its platform, integrated tracking into bonvelo’s supply‑chain system, and provided proactive, transparent communication about seasonal surcharges. As a result, Freight Hub reduced bonvelo’s administrative workload, enabled daily tracking for reliable product‑availability planning, and made cost and delivery planning markedly easier.
