Resilience, agility and control in one

Supply chain management

Let us handle everything from origin to final destination

Working with your team face-to-face, we’ll map out your business needs, capacity planning, bottlenecks, sustainability targets, forecasting and more. Then we’ll precisely understand what cargo needs to be where and when. Once a plan’s in place, our in-house systems keep everything moving smoothly – trucking, warehousing, distribution, fulfilment, customs and more. Such control gives your business the reliability, agility, cost-efficiency and decarbonisation it needs.

Supply Chain Control

Ensuring a unified flow of cargo and data

Because we handle every link of the chain in-house, your global insights dashboard gives your business an unparalleled level of control and status of your supply chain. By monitoring every stage in real-time, we can analyse data and predict possible issues or disruptions, then mitigate them to keep your cargo moving.

Supply Chain Insights

With more insight comes greater control

Our data-driven insights keep you in full control. With real-time developments displayed on your My GDB dashboard, it enables you to inform and manage the expectations of your teams and stakeholders. Insights also come from our local teams on the ground, who will notify you of any potential issues before they become critical. But perhaps just as vital, is that we can micromanage and mitigate on an operational level to keep your goods moving.

Forecasting

Planning for an efficient future

Using collaborative planning, we’ll understand pivotal milestones in your near-term and long-term cargo-flow, the bottlenecks, potential challenges and delivery timelines. By gathering multiple data flows from along the chain, we create accurate, dry-run forecasts including cost-simulations and process optimisation – with built-in adaptability to mitigate the unexpected.

Process optimisation

Great processes made even greater

As we manage the whole supply chain for you, every part is seamlessly integrated to the next designed for stability and efficiency. Our warehouses are decentralised, so we can get your stock closer to where you need it to be, reducing transport times and CO2 emissions. Our software analyses performance metrics and operational data, together with face-to-face Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR), pinpointing specific areas for improvement and implementing those changes. From the bigger picture to the local situation, everything is optimised for scalability, resilience, flexibility and cost-efficiency.

Project simulations

Putting ideas to the test to find the best

Using up-to-the-minute data, our experts run simulations in collaboration with your team to predict exactly how everything will work in real-world conditions. This creates essential insights on how to reduce-costs, assess risks, increase efficiency and uncover any weak points. This lets us test what’s feasible with various logistical strategies, creating the most robust, agile and sustainable solution possible for you.
