It reaffirms our dedication to service delivery and innovation to help our customers overcome their supply chain challenges. Our Asian team has been very successful in engaging and working with our customers to address their supply chain needs – whether it is increasing supply chain visibility, reengineering supply chain models to reduce costs and cope with sudden demand, or operating an export distribution centre to increase efficiency.”
Damco was also honoured for its SupplyChain HealthCheckTM tool which identifies improvement opportunities with significant potential savings in customers’ supply chains. This serves to highlight the successful collaboration between Damco and its customers to meet changing challenges in the current volatile business landscape.
