Horizontal Collaboration exists there where companies collaborate without having a customer-supplier relationship. Within the Supply Chain realm there has been ample attention in the area of transport bundling. Fluas has extensive experience on the subject of Horizontal Collaboration. Since the first study on the complexity of cross-organization partnerships in 2009, various projects and organizations have been supported by Fluas.

To work towards the right mindset, getting a deep understanding of the quantitative aspects of any collaboration is important.
