In this serious game, you are a representative of a shipping company. Through a platform, you work together with different carriers to transport your goods to the hinterland. Based on the different customer orders, you have to find a suitable carrier to transport the goods. However, does the carrier meet your expectations? And does the carrier not take advantage of the situation?
In 7 rounds, you as a player receive different orders from different types of customers. But, first, you have to make sure that your company fulfils its goal: transporting goods cheaply and sustainably that meet the customer's requirements.
