Nordic retailer relies on DSV to handle rapidly expanding international trade

A widely recognized lifestyle and do-it-yourself retailer in Nordic countries has a rapidly expanding international trade. It regularly moves sizeable volumes of merchandise into northern Europe from China and other points of origin, and it also has significant import via road from European suppliers. The company selected a range of DSV’s supply chain offerings to manage these demands. DSV implemented order and exception management controls to enhance visibility into inventory. As a result, the retailer saw distribution and cost management improvements from shipments and order due date controls, equipment optimisations, and direct-to-store or direct-to-distribution center bypasses. Beyond these improvements, a factory-to-distribution center network capability boosts deliveries and scheduling. DSV also consolidates shipments from multiple buyers or vendors and provides cross-docking for goods at point of origin and destination.
