Smart delivery in new industries
Delivering restaurants, markets and all tradesmen, Isletmen also makes deliveries to end users of e-commerce logistics companies with the business model it has developed.

Together we will see how the transmission business we do changes life and even differentiates the supply chain. We are in cooperation with Turkey's leading companies. We take new decisions in consultation with the valuable business people, professionals and academics of our country, who are in our advisory board, and proceed consciously.”
