ISO 9001:2015 at XL LOGISTICS

In the transportation and logistics industry, quality is not a statement.
It is the result of orderly processes, responsible operational decisions and consistency in action – every day.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce that the audit of the Quality Management System at XL LOGISTICS has been completed with a positive result, and our organization meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 for domestic and international transport and forwarding.

What is ISO 9001 in logistics in practice?

ISO 9001:2015 is an international quality management standard that certifies that a company:

  • operates based on clearly defined processes,
  • manages operational risk,
  • Ensures consistency and repeatability of service quality,
  • Is subject to regular audits and continuous improvement.

In logistics, this primarily means predictability, security and control over every stage of the order – from transportation planning to documentation to on-time delivery.

What did the audit confirm at XL LOGISTICS?
The positive audit result confirmed that XL LOGISTICS:

  • Transportation and shipping processes are organized and supervised,
  • Quality standards are applied consistently in daily work,
  • operational activities are subject to control and analysis,
  • The organization operates with clearly defined procedures and responsibilities.

The ISO 9001:2015 certificate is valid from January 13, 2026 to January 12, 2029, confirming the stability and continuity of the quality management system adopted.
What does this mean for our customers and partners?
For companies working with XL LOGISTICS, ISO 9001:2015 certification means:

  • Operational security and compliance with international standards,
  • predictability of service delivery, regardless of the scale of the order,
  • Transparency of processes and clear rules of cooperation,
  • A stable logistics partner ready for long-term cooperation.

In the TSL industry, where time, accountability and precision matter, process quality has a direct impact on supply chain continuity.
Quality as part of a strategy, not a one-time goal
ISO 9001:2015 certification is not the end of the process for us, but a confirmation of it.
This is part of XL LOGISTICS’ growth strategy, based on:

  • responsible management,
  • continuous improvement,
  • Building trust in business relationships.

Each audit is an opportunity for review, optimization and further development – both operationally and organizationally.
Summary
At XL LOGISTICS, we believe that quality in logistics starts with processes and ends with customer and business partner satisfaction.
The positive result of the ISO 9001:2015 audit confirms that the direction we have taken is the right one.
Quality. Stability. Responsibility.
We are building logistics on these foundations.

SENT 2026: transportation of clothing and footwear

SENT 2026: transportation of clothing and footwear – how to prepare logistics in practice

As of March 17, 2026, the transportation of clothing and footwear will be subject to mandatory monitoring in the SENT system. This is a significant change for companies operating in the trade, e-commerce and logistics operators handling international and intra-Community shipments. At XL LOGISTICS, we are already analyzing the impact of these regulations and helping customers prepare their transportation processes for the new requirements.

The new regulations aim to tighten the tax system and increase control over the movement of goods considered sensitive. For entrepreneurs, however, this means additional formal obligations that must be taken into account in transportation planning.

What is SENT?

The SENT system is an electronic surveillance system for the carriage of goods operated by the National Tax Administration. It enables real-time monitoring of road and rail shipments based on freight declarations and geolocation data. To date, SENT has covered, among other things. fuels, alcohol or waste, while from 2026 the scope will be expanded to include clothing and footwear.

The obligation to report in SENT will apply to, among others. garments (CN chapters 61 and 62) weighing more than 10 kg, used garments weighing more than 10 kg, as well as footwear (CN chapter 64) weighing more than 20 pieces. In practice, this means that a significant portion of shipments made for the fashion and e-commerce industries will be subject to monitoring.

The SENT declaration will be required primarily for the import of goods from outside the European Union, intra-Community acquisition of goods and transit through Poland. In such situations, both the shipper and the carrier must ensure that the data is properly entered into the system and updated during transportation.

From an operational perspective, this means having an active account on the PUESC platform, an EORI number, and procedures to efficiently prepare SENT declarations before transport begins. In addition, the carrier must ensure the transmission of geolocation data of the vehicle, which in practice requires appropriate technical solutions.

Failure to declare SENT, errors in data or failure to update information can result in hefty financial penalties and even detention of transport for inspection. From the point of view of trading companies, this means the risk of delayed deliveries, broken supply chains and additional operating costs.

SENT and XL LOGISTICS customers

At XL LOGISTICS, we support customers in complying with the new SENT regulations. Our experience in international transportation allows us not only to carry out shipments in accordance with regulations, but also to advise on the organization of documentation, the liability of parties, and the planning of transportation in a way that minimizes operational risks.

Early preparation for SENT changes is a real competitive advantage. Companies that get their logistics and formal processes in order now will avoid nerve-wracking deployments in 2026 and will be able to carry out garment and footwear shipments without downtime.

A year of intensive work and development – summary of XL LOGISTICS activities

The end of the year is a natural time to take stock of the activities that shaped the company’s daily operations and strategic development. For XL LOGISTICS, it was a time of intensive work, consistent decisions and further strengthening its position in the European transport market.
The past few months have been marked by high operational loads, growing volumes and increasing customer expectations for on-time, flexible and secure delivery. In response to these challenges, we have consistently developed our fleet, team competencies and technology solutions to support supply chain efficiency.
Modern fleet as the foundation of reliability
Investing in a modern and specialized fleet remains one of the key elements of our strategy. Double Deck trailers, tractors that meet the highest technical standards, and route monitoring and control systems allow us to carry out transports predictably and safely – even during peak logistics periods.
Expanding the fleet not only means greater operational capabilities, but also real support for customers in terms of:

  • Optimization of transportation costs,
  • reduction in the number of courses,
  • stability of supply with increasing volumes,
  • Reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

A team that creates quality
Behind every execution is a team – experienced drivers, dispatchers and operational specialists who ensure the quality and safety of services every day. In the past year, we paid special attention to the development of competencies, including. through specialized training in economic and safe driving, time management and operational standards.
It is the combination of technology, fleet and people knowledge that allows us to build long-term relationships with business partners.
Ready for more challenges
The photo of our fleet that we publish with this summary is not only a symbol of the scale of our operations, but above all a confirmation of our readiness for the next market challenges. We are entering a new period with clearly defined priorities: further optimization of processes, development of specialized services, and maintenance of the highest service standards.
We would like to thank all customers and partners for their trust and the XL LOGISTICS team for their commitment, which translates into a smoothly functioning supply chain across Europe every day.

Our fleet is growing in strength

Our fleet goes from strength to strength – more DAF tractors at XL LOGISTICS

Fleet development is one of the key elements of XL LOGISTICS’ strategy. For 19 years, we have consistently invested in modern transportation solutions, building a stable and reliable position in the TSL market. Today we are proud to announce that more DAF tractor units have joined our fleet – vehicles that meet the highest standards in efficiency, safety and sustainability.

Why do we invest in new vehicles?

The dynamic development of international transportation requires operators not only to be flexible, but also to continuously improve the quality of their services. The new DAF tractors are for us:

  • Greater efficiency in transportation processes – lower combustion and better fleet utilization,
  • Driver safety and comfort – ergonomic cabs, advanced support systems,
  • Timeliness and predictability of deliveries – modern monitoring and planning technologies,
  • ESG compliance – vehicles that meet the highest emission standards and are part of a sustainable development strategy.

Investments with partners in mind

Each step in development is more than a new technology for us – it is a commitment to our customers and business partners. By expanding the fleet, we are ensuring even higher reliability and greater capacity to handle even the most demanding transportation projects in Europe.

Temporary border controls

Temporary border controls from July 7, 2025 – what does this mean for TSL companies?

As of July 7, 2025. Poland is introducing temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania. While the decision is motivated by security concerns, its impact will be felt almost immediately by transportation companies, logistics operators and TSL (transportation-shipping-logistics) customers. Find out what will change and how you can prepare for it.

What changes from July 7, 2025?

According to government announcements, starting July 7, 2025. Temporary border controls will be in place on the borders with Germany and Lithuania. In practice, this means:

  • obligation to stop for inspection at selected border crossings,
  • Increased clearance times, and thus potential traffic congestion,
  • The need for complete shipping and freight documentation.

Although the controls are intended to be temporary, their impact on international supply chains could be significant – particularly in industries relying on just-in-time delivery, the FMCG sector and contract logistics.

Challenges for the transport and logistics industry

The introduction of border administrative barriers means a number of complications for TSL companies:

Delays and downtime

  • Longer waiting times at border crossings,
  • Operational downtime affecting the smoothness of transportation processes.

Need to re-plan routes and schedules

  • Adaptation of loading and unloading schedules,
  • Adjust travel routes to minimize the risk of downtime.

Increase in operating costs

  • More working hours for drivers,
  • Greater fuel consumption,
  • The need to reorganize returns and return operations.

In this situation, constant monitoring of the situation and operational flexibility to respond to changes in real time are key.

How does XL LOGISTICS respond?

At XL LOGISTICS, we have been preparing for crisis scenarios for years – which is why we are already implementing concrete measures that minimize the impact of border controls on our customers.

Monitoring the situation 24/7

Our dispatchers and drivers are in constant contact and have access to up-to-date operational information from border crossings.

Flexible planning and rapid adaptation

With an extensive fleet and a wide network of alternate routes, we can change plans instantly without risking on-time performance.

Personal account manager

Each of our partners is assigned a mentor to ensure smooth cooperation and rapid flow of information.

Emergency response

Our customers can count on real support in case of emergency problems – we leave no one without help.

What do XL LOGISTICS customers gain?

Cooperation with us is not just transportation. It’s a partnership based on experience, transparency and proactivity:

  • Up-to-date operational information from borders and routes,
  • transparent operation at every stage of the order,
  • Minimizing the risk of delays,
  • stability in a dynamic geopolitical environment.

Summary

Temporary border controls from July 7, 2025 are another test for the TSL industry. For many companies, this could mean downtime, loss of contracts or operational chaos. But for those who have a strong logistics partner – this is just another challenge that can be passed safely and without loss to business.

At XL LOGISTICS, we are ready. We monitor. We respond. We act in advance.
