What is happening in the supply chain

GLS Italy operates primary sorting hubs in Piacenza, Bologna, Milano, Padova, Roma, and Napoli alongside 160+ local branches (`Sedi`). After the origin branch collects the parcel and scans 'La spedizione è partita', it boards an overnight linehaul trailer and displays 'In transito'. Once the trailer docks at the destination Sede the next morning (`Arrivata nella sede GLS locale`), the parcel is sorted onto a local courier van ('In consegna').
