The term CEP is the abbreviation for “Courier, Express and Parcel Services”. It refers to postal and logistics companies that primarily transport consignments with comparatively low weight and volume – such as letters, small packages, documents or small items.
These restrictions on dimensions and weight allow a high degree of standardisation in processing. As a result, the handling and sorting of the objects to be transported can be easily (partially) automated. In this way, consignments can be transported in a short time and with high efficiency.
