Support functions Business development This department identifies business and growth opportunities for the Group and its members in the transportation and logistics fields. Research department This cross-functional department supports the commercial and operational departments. It responds to calls for tender and carries out studies during consultations with customers or prospects, including in the context of upgrades in the Palet System integrated network. It also supports operational projects, frames of reference and is involved in planning activities concerning continuous improvement. Calls for tender This department receives Transportation and/or logistics tenders and makes them available to members, enabling them to participate in tenders from major national or European shippers. The bids received are then compiled in order to submit an overall proposal in the name of the Group. Digital Since 2016, Astre has benefitted from an organisation dedicated to IT systems. A team of 9 professionals prepare and deploy digital tools and solutions for the benefit of the Group and its members.
