Transport / Transportation / Shipping
German term or phrase: Flächenbedienung
A term used in logistics, EuroDicAutom says "collection and delivery service" and "collection and delivery by road"

I need a concise term, maybe something like "area service"

The context:

In Zukunft können sich Investitionen in Telematiksysteme rechnen, um Leerfahrten und Wartezeiten zu umgehen und Sendungsverfolgung, Just-in-time-Aspekte, Flächenbedienung, Qualität und Verlässlichkeit zu garantieren

Thank you
English translation:territorial coverage/physical distribution
Explanation:
is the term often used. It means ensuring that you spread your delivery net far and wide.
I often use "nationwide coverage" when they talk about a service all over the country but, in this case, physical distribution should be fine...
