Following first successful operations in the USA, GEODIS is extending its freight forwarding services for the high-tech operator Asteelflash to Asia, Africa and Europe. The agreement encompasses transport management services including FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less Container Load) ocean freight shipments, as well as airfreight services and customs brokerage.

Veronique Danciu, Asteelflash’s Global Director of Transportation, outlines her company’s reasons for partnering with GEODIS: “the good service, in terms of reliability and visibility, is essential to us. Our markets are challenging both in the variety of product mix and in competitive pressure. Our supply chain management must therefore be resilient to change and innovative in the solutions it delivers. We find that strong personal relationships at all levels between partners are the key to successfully achieving these goals.”

Asteelflash is one of the two leading European Electro Medical System (EMS) companies and ranking among the top twenty global organizations in its sector. Asteelflash provides high quality and complex electronic products to a variety of industrial markets, including energy management, data processing, defense, aerospace, transportation and medical equipment.

“The fast-moving dynamics of such markets demand supply chain management that is capable of being both nimble and robust”, explains Vincent Duconge, Trade Lane Manager for USA and France at GEODIS. “This is what GEODIS has been providing to Asteelflash in the US, and now also in Germany, France, the UK, China and Tunisia.”

In order to provide transparency and shipment control to Asteelflash, GEODIS connected the customer to IRIS (Intelligent Real-Time Information Service). It offers online booking to Asteelflash, as well as track and trace, reporting and alerts, invoicing functionalities and other features.

Global logistics provider GEODIS has been recognized as one of world’s Top 100 3PL companies by US publication Inbound Logistics.

The France based Transport and Logistics Group and its international logistics network was selected as a Top 100 3PL Provider because of its capacity to identify specific logistics challenges for different industries, the ability to structurally improve processes, and by the proven success of creating a ripple effect of efficiencies for customers across their value chain.

“Every year, leading third-party logistics providers of all shapes and sizes submit their credentials, hoping to match their solutions with our readers’ business logistics needs,” said Felecia Stratton, Editor, Inbound Logistics. “It remains an increasingly difficult task for the Inbound Logistics editorial team to narrow down the list to only 100 top 3PL providers. GEODIS was selected as a 2016 Top 100 3PL Provider because it is flexible and responsive, anticipating customers’ evolving needs with innovative solutions empowering logistics and supply chain excellence.”

“We are delighted that GEODIS has been recognized by Inbound Logistics and has achieved the high standard required by the publication to be included in the Top 100 3PL Providers list for 2016,” said Marie-Christine Lombard, Chief Executive Officer of GEODIS. “We are focused on providing high-quality and innovative solutions to overcome our customers’ logistical constraints.”

ABOUT INBOUND LOGISTICS

Inbound Logistics, the leading trade magazine, targeted toward business logistics and supply chain managers in the USA. The magazine’s editorial mission is to help companies of all sizes better manage corporate resources by speeding and reducing inventory and supporting infrastructure and better matching demand signals to supply lines.

TOP 100 SELECTION METHODOLOGY

Inbound Logistics’ Top 100 3PL Provider’s list serves as a qualitative assessment of service providers that are best equipped to meet and surpass the outsourcing needs of shippers reading Inbound Logistics. Entering the Top 100 list becomes increasingly difficult as more 3PLs enter the market and service providers from other functional areas develop value-added logistics capabilities. Each year, Inbound Logistics editors select the best logistics solutions providers by evaluating submitted information, conducting personal interviews and online research, and comparing publicly available data. The service providers selected are companies that offer the diverse operational capabilities and experience to meet shippers’ unique supply chain and logistics needs.

GEODIS manages the rail transport between Wuhan in central China and the city of Lyon in France for KAPORAL, the Marseille based designer jeans manufacturer. The first shipment left Wuhan by train, in June, and arrived at Venissieux-Saint-Priest near Lyon, having traveled 11,300 kilometers in 18 days, alongside the legendary Silk Road.

This new service enables KAPORAL to reduce its transport time, costs and its environmental footprint. According to Vincent Allal, Head of KAPORAL Supply Chain, “rail transport is a real alternative to air travel that was previously considered. The transit is relatively short, we have halved our bill on this transaction and we are very sensitive to the low environmental impact of this solution.”

The rail service between China and France optimizes GEODIS’ door-to-door solution for KAPORAL. GEODIS consolidates the goods from multiple suppliers in China. Once loaded on the train, the cargo crosses China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany and France. Containers are then routed to GEODIS’ logistics platform in Grans, near Marseille from where a total of 10 million textile garments are delivered each year to the KAPORAL outlets throughout France. Eventually, three trains per week will use this route for KAPORAL.

“We successfully coped with a number of operational and technical challenges”, says Kim Pedersen, Executive Vice President of GEODIS’ Freight Forwarding Line of Business. “Twenty drivers were needed to operate the train on its way through seven countries. Locomotives had to be changed eight times and we had to manage three special transshipments at certain borders due to the different track gauge.”

“The rail link between China and France opens great opportunities in continental rail”, he continues. “It is an innovative solution that we offer to our customers. In comparison, ocean freight transit times are approximately 30 days and the rates are subject to high volatility. No doubt that rail transport has a future.”

This mode of transport, fully aligned with GEODIS’ Corporate Social Responsibility approach, generates low CO₂ emissions, significantly lower than other transport modes. Based on an innovation-friendly perspective, GEODIS – as part of its CSR approach – strives to provide optimized solutions from both an economic and environmental point of view, working with its customers to help them achieve sustainable growth.
