FRENCH global logistics provider geodis has extended its freight forwarding services to southern Spain, having recently opened in Seville, the company announced.
With well-established operations in other major Spanish cities including Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia the Geodis forwarding services have been available to the country's shippers for more than 20 years.
Now both maritime and air transport solutions will be offered in the south of Spain along with additional value-added services such as a control tower for complete oversight, purchase order and vendor management and emission reporting.
Enhanced visibility of cargoes status is enabled through the bespoke Geodis' web-based platform, IRIS (Intelligent Real-time Information System), an online booking, pricing, tracking and shipment system.
The Geodis team in Seville will provide a service with a global reach across the company's network spanning nearly 170 countries.
'Our ability to understand the needs of our customers in the southern regions of Spain will be greatly enhanced by our new, strategically located base,' said Ivan Sanchez, managing director of Geodis in Spain.
'Our mission throughout the Geodis organisation is to help grow the businesses of our customers. In order to achieve that, we must harmonise with their expansion plans, facilitating the logistics that underpins those plans in the most relevant way. A localised operation is required to develop such a close relationship,' he said.
The Geodis Group consists of 350 employees in Spain and over 44,000 worldwide.
