Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam
SINGAPORE - Media
OutReach - 27 October 2021 - GEODIS, a global leading transport
and logistics services provider, has expanded its road network in Southeast
Asia to Vietnam; another step towards its ambition to develop a scheduled road
service connecting Singapore to China. GEODIS' own fleet of vehicles and
expanded network of partners enables full and partial loads to be
carried by road along the Singapore, Malaysia, Thaïland axis, and now Vietnam.
The addition of the service to Vietnam will serve businesses driving the
manufacturing boom in that country over recent years, helping the region become
a vital supply chain node for many high-tech, retail, and FMCG businesses.
GEODIS Expands Road Network Across Southeast Asia
Launched in November 2019, the Road Transport service of
GEODIS in Southeast Asia was created to meet the needs of companies looking for
a day-definite road transportation solution for their cargo, in the range of 30
to 1000 kilos per shipment.
The expanded road network for Full Truck Load (FTL) and Less
than Truck Load (LTL) service provide freight management from first to last
mile and offers additional options for existing GEODIS customers, in addition
to air and ocean transport modes. The door-to-door road option has the
advantage of loading space flexibility, with benefits of lower rates than air
freight, shorter transit times than ocean freight, and on-the-ground expertise
for customs clearance.
Since March 2021, GEODIS has expanded its road network
capabilities by offering both standard and personalized solutions including its
RoadDirect, RoadFast, and RoadSave services. With these differing levels of
service, GEODIS balances transit time and costs to ensure customers can tailor
the solution that best fits their needs; to include door-to-door service,
customs brokerage and onward distribution.
Accompanying the new expansion of the Road Transport service
of GEODIS is a dedicated access to a rate calculator and automated
quotation system, which will be available towards the end of 2021.
"Our expanded service aims to give our customers
greater flexibility and reliability of service in the context of current supply
chain disruptions affecting air and sea cargo flows," said Lakshmanan
Venkateswaran, Sub-Regional Managing Director – South East Asia. "The
service refinements come at a pivotal time as ASEAN's manufacturing
productivity and market expansion are gaining momentum due to the confluence of
events that is motivating global companies to diversify their supply chain
options".
