Case Study: GeeseCargo’s High-Speed Rail Solution for Textile Exports from Yiwu to Central Europe
Introduction
In the competitive textile industry, speed and reliability are crucial to meeting fast-changing fashion trends and retail demands. GeeseCargo, a leading freight forwarding company based in Shanghai, specializes in rapid rail freight solutions from China to Europe. This case study demonstrates how we helped a textile exporter streamline shipments from Yiwu to Central Europe, ensuring faster transit times, cost efficiency, and end-to-end supply chain control.
Client Background
Our client, a textile manufacturer and wholesaler based in Yiwu, exports garments, fabrics, and home textiles to major distribution hubs in Germany, Poland, and Hungary. With tight production cycles and seasonal demand peaks, they needed a logistics partner that could offer faster alternatives to sea freight while avoiding the high costs of air cargo.
Challenges Faced by the Client

Before working with GeeseCargo, the client experienced several logistical hurdles:
Slow Transit Times via Sea Freight – Traditional ocean shipping took 35-40 days, delaying inventory replenishment.
High Air Freight Costs – Urgent shipments were expensive, cutting into profit margins.
