FRENCH transport and logistics giant geodis has introduced a fully integrated and customised logistics service designed to withstand the unpredictability of today's global trade environment.
With supply chain disruption remaining a consistent problem for shippers around the world, the company said that flexibility is key to achieving consistent reliability.
'At its core, Geodis End-to-End services has simplicity - to move customers goods from origin to destination with control and complete visibility. Through real-time data intelligence come the ability to monitor milestones, anticipate delays and manage exceptions at an early stage, maintaining proactive control throughout the shipment's journey along the supply chain,' the company said in a statement.
'Throughout the recent months when disruption resulting from pandemic lockdowns, variable spikes in demand, transport capacity shortages, congestion at ports and other hubs and geopolitical upheaval, Geodis developed alternatives to ensure that the delivery of customers' goods was maintained,' said Eric Martin-Neuville, executive vice president, freight forwarding.
'This flexibility and innovative philosophy are now engrained in the service offered by Geodis End-to-End Services. Devising contingencies, solving potential blockages caused by disruption and optimising our customer's business logistically, are at the heart of Geodis End-to-End services.'
The service combines the existing functionality of Origin Services, Carrier Contract Management, Destination Services, Visibility, Customs Clearance Services, and the critical over-sight of the Control Tower. What is new is the co-ordination of these functions via a digital ecosystem connecting customers' logistics data with real-time information on the status of shipments.
'This enables the mining of insights to reinforce and support flexible decision-making at critical junctures and guide their implementation by each GEODIS operational function. A team of dedicated experts analyses the data and provides recommendations to optimize the supply chain whatever the external disruptive circumstances,' the company said.
